Also, too bad all the dysfunctional parents can't be taken to court for their failure to properly raise their kids. It all starts in the home. The biggest problem facing education today is the social collapse occurring within America. Problems in education are just a reflection of ourselves.

Those whom you are blaming are products of the system: parents educated in public schools INTENDED to fail. The children know who is in charge and it isn't parents. They have been disempowered by an NEA bureaucracy that has sold out to the UN and asserts its primacy over the family the day the kids arrive in the classroom. The teachers force a dysfunctional pedantry into the kids and they rebel, especially boys with the sense to recognize a injustice for what it is. Any parent who tries to control their children is threatened with losing them to Child Protective Services.

The teachers bought the globalist curriculum and don't make their leadership change. They should sit in their pot proudly and masticate their fecal product with pride. I hope they suffer for it appropriately until the system crashes and the parents take it back.

Homeschool your kids before it's too late.

Teachers are forced by contract to adhere to goals 2000 type socialism. Its right there in black and white in their contract. They are not permitted to teach by law unless they tote the line that our politicals institute. Who votes for the politicians; hello, you and I.

Our government instills the standards that are maintained, not the NEA or the teachers. You would be surprised to see how many teachers are conservatives and hate watching our system of education being federalized. It will lead to more control and less freedom. The government would just luv declaring homeschoolers unfit parents that are denying their children basic standards of education (social & academic) that our all knowing government knows best. You think I'm joking; just think how far we have come. You should take a look at your own state's educational content and performance standards. Math, English, Govt, Geog, Life Skills, Arts, World Langugaes, Tech, Employability, Literacy, CULTURAL STANDARDS,ect. You will be shocked at the one world mindset that our Govt has embraced. Believe me, you hide your head in the sand and cry about the evil teachers; but they are only a small part of the picture. Most teachers hate all the politics, one reason why there is such an extreme shortage.

I see our Republican Prez acting like a lib. I see hordes of money dumped into education by the feds. I see school districts becomming addicted to all the federal money and standards. I don't see any money going towards vouchers, sad. I don't see dramatic change in direction with reference to education. I don't see 90% of America effectively homeschooling their kids.

Just don't blame the teachers for everything, look in the mirror America.
