If you have kids who haven't learned to read yet (or who don't read as well as they should) you can strike a blow against the misguided public education system right now, right in your own home -- by teaching your kid to read properly. Which will strengthen the left (sequential, thought-processing) side of their brains and fortify them against dyslexia, hyper-activity, and especially the kind unclear thinking that Alan so tirelessly labors against here on his blog.

I believe that was a precursor to Common Core... <br /><br />They both tried to change everything about basic math yet the fact still remains, 1+1 still equals 2..

The brain washing of our children is horrible. I am a strong believer in the 3 R's. Throw in the math, some GOOD history, and a little American patriotism, and it's just about a perfect system. Do they even allow kids to say the pledge of allegiance anymore?<br /><br />It is NOT the job of the school system to feed the children, or assign what foods they can or cannot eat. It is NOT the job of the school system to inject morality or sex education. If they want to teach politeness, I am all for that. School athletics should have winners and losers, and if a kid accels or fails, he or she should be given accolades or held back. The heck with little damaged egos, or how they feel when they didn't get a perfect GPA and the other kid did. Or that being given a failing grade or held back will scar their self esteem. In the real world, there is no reward for participation...there are winners and losers. They need to learn that at the earliest age possible. <br /><br />And to require students to learn about sex in elementary or middle school is INSANE. <br /><br />I tell you what. If the schools can actually TEACH all of the kids properly, and do so within a budget that doesn't kill me during property tax assessment time, then I will be happy to discuss additional responsibilities that they may want to undertake.<br /><br />But when the DOE can't even do that, what makes them think they should be allowed to do whatever they want?<br /><br />And what the hell is with not being able to punish the losers for interrupting and disturbing those that actually want to learn (Especially if they are non-white), but they can suspend poor johnny for a poptart shaped like a gun or finger banging the teacher and other students. These things show that most teachers have their heads up their ass. <br /><br />If teachers have the power to grade our kids and suspend them or take away PE time, etc., then parents should be allowed to do the same to the teachers. If a teacher is not doing his or her job, they get suspended. If they don't learn from that...then expelled. It's good enough for the children...so good ehough for the teachers too.<br /><br />There are several "institutions" in this country where politics SHOULD NEVER be allowed. The military, our healthcare, and our children's education to name just a few that come to mind. Our kids education should be non-partisan...but alas, that is a pipe dream. <br /><br />The fact that most private schools have much better results at a fraction of the cost per student PROVES that the federal govt is NOT up to the task of teaching our youngsters. But they have minds to warp, and compliant serfs to create...so the factory of good little proles can churn out future socialists who will vote socialist and be mindlessly happy about it, and not ask any questions. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />sdkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144897729994333372noreply@blogger.com
