For the past twenty years, 1974 to 2014, every President faults the system for
Wisconsin Teachers Unions bully Governor, Schools & Parents & loses fight. children not learning their ABC's or 123's in public education. So, the answer has always been to throw more Federal money and run up higher state taxes to pay into the school system to hire more educators by offering more pay, benefits and pensions to attract the best teachers. The top-heavy teachers' unions, in the meantime, have become strong and powerful by micro-managing all of our teacher staffing, school curriculum, text books, children's health and welfare programs too. It has become a taxing 'nanny-state,' institutional behemoth and that's being very modest. So why are our children still failing?
It's as if one hands over their five yr. old to the school board officials and say, "I give you the child, give me back the young adult," then, they release them back as an eighteen yr. old with a high school education, social values and self esteem. Hmn... I don't think it ever really works out that way, even if many parents do abdicate all their parental roles every day. So, where does the education start?
How about with the parents first? They must take responsibility to go to their parent-teacher meetings or parents' assemblies to find out how their children are being taught in their local school. Then, as their children attend the classes at school, the parent must monitor what their children are doing and coordinate with the teachers about subjects covered. Now after many parents stop laughing, they never will do anything like I just described. So why don't parents bother to get excited about the lousy grades and dropout rates, especially within the minority communities?
Maybe it's because the parents don't really care? That's certainly a good answer, in fact it is the most truthful one since it is a hard fact of life that most are often single parent, women head of the household too. Our school education problems go even further back than President Bill Clinton in 1994. In fact, it is just progressively getting worse faster. But why?
It's obvious in this twenty-first century that technology is moving so quickly that the illiterates, untrained and unskilled will be pushed aside. Many foresee a future with with
Orwell's novel on the coming Government mind control of people. an ignorant electorate that will allow liberal, progressive, government-centric planning. It will dictate where these kinds of people will be relegated by their production values they can do to work in various areas of the country and told where to populate to live whether they like it or not--it is closest to a 'public housing projects' concept. Looks as if its 'Orwellian'--Like in George Orwell's 1984 'Big Brother is watching you' novel?--or UN Agenda 21?
Please use the Rovalocity search engine box on our website and enter 'UN Agenda 21'. Read other blogs about a United Nations Plan that President Clinton signed and has been ramping up with unbelievable provisions since its inception to redistribute U.S. property, freedoms and people too. You make up your own mind.
The problems in schools are not just limited to the funding, curriculum, facilities or students. Students will never reach college potential if they are taught in bilingual classrooms. Education should be taught in English, the global 'lingua franca,' starting from elementary level through high school--currently all college level classes, text books and lectures are English only too.
Tip: Give all the kids who pass their tests 'School Vouchers' to get out of the dead-
end public schools and get into 'Charter Schools' or 'Private Schools'. Judge Judy Sheindlin, a long time New Yorker and famous TV Judge, is very familiar with the entire New York City schools system. Recently, Judge Judy commented, "I think of all of the kids like a fresh box of raspberries I take home to eat," and "And if I find a bad one in the box, I throw it away because if I leave it in the box it spoils the entire box and all of the raspberries will go bad." Judge Judy says that analogy depicts exactly what is happening now.
In the New York public schools the bad kids continue to act up and disrupt classes, so the good students do not receive any education or diploma worth the paper it's printed on. The School Unions do not want to lose control of the teachers or suffer membership dues losses. The Federal Government funding feeds those Union coffers to curry votes too-- it's almost an impossible cycle to break without voter intervention at the polls to elect politicians who want to help students and parents.
Believe it or not, the teachers themselves are letting the students down too. In turn, the teachers' unions are protecting those poor performance educators with tenure too. Please read a letter sent home to a mother below. What is really remarkable is that teacher sent that letter out to a parent. Even more stunning is the question: Did that teacher instruct students for another twenty years from 1994 to 2014? Now, is that scary!
