Mis-education

Well now time does repeat itself after all this is a circular existence. Lets get straight to the point. "No Child Left Behind", the idea that a president, who was what we would call a marginal student, would come up with a plan for education is baffling. The worse part is that we as a people backed it. This path of destruction is ludicrous. Anyone who works in the school system should be able to tell you that this plan and program is doing nothing more than crippling our students. Now I know there are people who will say that is ridiculous, but honestly the program is doing more harm than good.

I remember when I spoke to my son about school and the grading period, and testing. He told me that they spent 3 or 4 weeks of the quarter studying for the Standardized tests so that they could be ready and pass the test when it is given. I asked about the other subjects and he said we don't spend much time on them. OMG! now our children are being coached to pass a test so that the school systems can keep their federal funding coming in, and the principals can keep their jobs. No one is really concerned about what the kids are learning but only securing their jobs.

A study that was conducted recently found out that 44 percent of school districts nationwide have made deep cutbacks in social
studies, science, art and music lessons in elementary grades and have
even slashed lunchtime. All of this just in order to coach for the Federally mandated standardized tests. Once again the PREZ has used his Hitler like power to control the masses and to ensure the demise and destruction of this country.

Well I am tired and losing focus so I am going to end here , but this is by no means the end of this topic or rant.
