OUR SCHOOLS. I BELIEVE that education is the only lever capable of raising mankind. If we wish to make the future of the Republic glorious we must educate the children of the present. The greatest blessing conferred by our Government is the free school. In importance it rises above everything else that the Government does. In its influence it is far greater. The schoolhouse is infinitely more important than the church, and if all the money wasted in the building of churches could be devoted to education we should become a civilized people. Of course, to the extent that churches disseminate thought they are good, and to the extent that they provoke discussion they are of value, but the real object should be to become acquainted with nature -- with the conditions of happiness -- to the end that man may take advantage of the forces of nature. I believe in the schools for manual training, and that every child should be taught not only to think, but to do, and that the hand should be educated with the brain. The money expended on schools is the best investment made by the Government. The schoolhouses in New York are not sufficient. Many of them are small, dark, unventilated, and unhealthy. They should be the finest public buildings in the city. It would be far better for the Episcopalians to build a university than a cathedral. Attached to all these schoolhouses there should be grounds for the children -- places for air and sun-light. They should be given the best. They are the hope of the Republic and, in my judgment, of the world. We need far more schoolhouses than we have, and while money is being wasted in a thousand directions, thousands of children are left to be educated in the gutter. It is far cheaper to build schoolhouses than prisons, and it is much better to have scholars than convicts. The Kindergarten system should be adopted, especially for the young; attending school is then a pleasure -- the children do not run away from school, but to school. We should educate the children not simply in mind, but educate their eyes and hands, and they should be taught something that will be of use, that will help them to make a living, that will give them independence, confidence -- that is to say, character. The cost of the schools is very little, and the cost of land -- giving the children, as I said before, air and light -- would amount to nothing. There is another thing: Teachers are poorly paid. Only the best should be employed, and they should be well paid. Men and women of the highest character should have charge of the children, because there is a vast deal of education in association, and it is of the utmost importance that the children should associate with real gentlemen -- that is to say, with real men; with real ladies -- that is to say, with real women. Every schoolhouse should be inviting, clean, well ventilated, attractive. The surroundings should be delightful. Children forced to school, learn but little. The schoolhouse should not be a prison or the teachers turnkeys. I believe that the common school is the bread of life, and all should be commanded to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. It would have been far better to have expelled those who refused to eat. The greatest danger to the Republic is ignorance. Intelligence is the foundation of free government. -- The World, New York, September 7, 1890. No one listened and the consequence is:

Who is Tenny? I think it’s Tenacious D but it could be TennTradition. Maybe they are one in the same?
I got the urge to fish and was dismayed to learn that my full-price license will expire in February. Shit should be prorated. I shocked myself by actually catching a small largemouth from the local pond with a rooster tail. I feel good because I tied the knot myself and didn’t think it would hold up and thought myself insane for trying to catch anything from that tragedy of the commons.
1. Chick Fil A 2. Panda Express 3. Taco Bell 4. Arby's 5. Five Guys 6. Sonic 7. Culver's 8. Krystal 9. McDonald's 10. Wendy's
Obviously you haven't had a popeys spicy with cajun fries and much Chinese food is made from bags of chicken parts. Labeled "chicken parts". It's everything left behind.
Fast food connoisseur here. What’s the criteria for inclusion. I don’t consider Culver’s fast food. The angus whatever at Panda Garden is really good. Kung pao is ok. My biggest problem is Wendy’s in tenth. Their spicy chicken sandwich is better than Chick-fil-A
Culver's only exists for the frozen custard. If you're eating actual food there, seek treatment immediately.
You need to Google "connoiusseur" and go get a covid test due to lack of tongue feeling. Wendy's chicken sandwich is never very thick and usually dry
Yeahhhhh I hear you. So my thought process was as follows: Left out pizza entirely Left out places like Subway and Panera. Sandwich shops are tough because they range from what seems like relatively healthy food at a place like Panera to not very healthy food at a place like Potbelly. When I think "fast food," I think "unhealthy." What's your case for Culvers not being fast food? It's similar to Five Guys, imo. Slightly higher quality than a place like McDonald's, but still squarely in the fast food genre. I was hesitant to include Panda because it's relatively different from all the others, but in the end, it's still fast food. I'm not really into spicy food. My fiance loves the spicy chicken sandwiches anywhere, but that shit's just not for me.
Wendy’s food completely depends entirely on how much of a [uck fay] their employees give or are giving on any particular day. If you’ve had an experience or been to a store where they did or do, and it was good, then congratulations. You are in the minority.
