In “No-Child-Left-Behind” news, a Florida education company has announced that rappers Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne are to receive their first annual “Teacher of the Year” awards.
Reports BET:
The South Florida-based Better Education Place named the two as the Best Male and Best Female Teacher after judging them on several categories and deeming them more influential than the teachers who actually commit themselves to children’s education.
“Apparently students are drawn in by the ‘swagger,’” says Melvin El, president of Better Education Place. “If you are a teacher today and you don’t have any swagger, you are going to struggle to get your students’ attention. It turns out a teacher can learn a lot from Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.”
Because the company encourages using hip hop to make education fun, they’ve deemed rappers worthy of receiving the awards.

This is EbenGregory.com…telling you I was just like them when I heard the news:
Three words: Pure…..Nigga…..Nonsense
This is about the most disgusting thing i’ve ever heard. Not only do you undermine teachers who worked hard in school to be knowledgeable enough to teach, and work day in and day out knowing that on a whole they are underpaid and underappreciated, you make the whole school system a total joke. Why not actually go reward a teach who works hard rather than hedonists that’s sole purpose in life is to make money, no matter what they have to do to get it.
