Geroge Bush’s No Child Left Behind should be scuttled! Though it sounded good on paper, it is not doing what is sounds like it will do. An albatross to learning! A nightmare of paperwork, taking teaching time better spent teaching mathmatics, reading, unrevised American history, for Heaven’s sake!
Just the fact that the NEA is FOR renewing it is reason enough to know it is BAD for our kids, BAD for our teachers, and ultimately BAD for our country!
It’s also time to snip the wings of the NEA!”
Snipping the wings of the NEA isn’t enough, IMO. I want to see it totally disbanded.
The “teachers” cannot teach math or writing when most of them cannot do any decent work in same themselves.
Last night “ribbon” on local tv said we should be on the lookout for convict who “EXCAPED”. I just want to scream when I see that kind of crap on EVERY station I can get.
They are actually paying people to spell like that.
I agree with you 100%. But first things first. The dumbing down has been going on for decades, and this can’t be fixed in a day. First scuttle NCLB, then give teachers the prerogative NOT to belong to the NEA at all. Next, pay teachers according to their own education, ie: spelling, teaching abilities and require a severe test before granting tenure to all teachers.
Vouchers and the ability for parents to choose the school where their kids go would quickly weed out the lower achieving schools. There is nothing like competition to bring out the best in all of us, right?
Congressman Duncan Hunter did vote for W’s NCLB, but he has become extremely disenchanted with it’s dismal results. Duncan Hunter intends to scuttle NCLB, and to return the control of public schools to the state and local levels immediately.
Our schools can improve, our children can learn, and our country can benefit greatly with Duncan Hunter as President.
