Human Nature Doesn'T Change - V

V. Marie was a newly minted teacher who got a job at a good private school, one dedicated to ‘progressive’ thought, which Marie though was remarkably cool. They had this brand new curriculum that was designed to address our greatest flaws, one teacher for all their formative years, to teach a new way of living, new laws. They would focus on cooperation, teach the kids to work for the common good, to avoid all of the hierarchy, to be equal, as people always should. They would go out new men and new women, to build up a better society, but Marie noticed problems arising when her students grew up and hit puberty. Some of the boys were hitting on the girls, and demeaning guys who didn’t have looks, some of the girls had the boys do their work, flashed smiles instead of hitting the books. The smart kids would not redistribute grades to the pupil’s who were lagging behind, they cared not for them, but for what they had ‘earned,’ who had put that failed idea in their minds? She was more surprised at the reunion, ten years passed, and the results were now clear: three homemakers, two Wall Street stockbrokers, four Republicans, and a guy fond of beer. One guy in jail, and two single mothers, what had happened to them tortured her brain, she swore she’d do better, too blind to see that human nature is not gonna change.
