I'll tell you why, it's because the powers-that-be have eroded discipline, decided to push kids through without skills, teach for one test and have gutted the teaching of trades, skills and the arts putting all cildren regardless of desire, ability or aptitude into a one size fits all curriculum but these aren't calls that teachers or teachers unions made.<br /><br />I am a member of our local union and i have issues with them but my main issue is they don't do anything.<br /><br />Finally for over a decade here in Florida our education bureaucrats have been republicans.ChrisGuerrierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200461704984560238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-193223344061671592010-12-22T05:44:32.161-07:002010-12-22T05:44:32.161-07:00We certainly hope that Scott threatens the governm...We certainly hope that Scott threatens the government school system. It has given the world the worst performing school system in light of the massive amounts of money spent. The US ranks with third world nations in K-12 performance. The sad fact is that the public education system was designed to create gullible workers for business who can't think for themselves. In addition, the teachers Union essentially controls the Democratic party and run the system to benefit themselves rather than teach the kids (just look at the bloated pension of any teacher). Why should not the public be allowed to decide where and how they spend their won tax dollars especially given the demonstrated incompetence of our education bureaucratsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
