Humanity was born good but becomes corrupt.

Humanity is born evil but has the potential for good.



I've realized that if you teach elementary school with the first philosophy, you're screwed. I got screwed over this school year...and perhaps even in life. I've been living life believing that all humans are basically good and they make mistakes once in a while that can be corrected.

But God have I learned, we are born evil, we want to do evil, we want to rebel...Teachers need to be strict and train and scare the evil out of students. I'm only being half-sarcastic.

They are not good at the core...you can't give a motivational speech and make them feel they need to be good--they need conditioning. They need to be zapped when they do something wrong. They need positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement.



I messed up. My kids never got zapped when they should've been. They're a bit out of control.

Seriously, humans are born evil...evil in the core. So zap them when they're young.
