the problem is the teachers are NOT qualified. they are taught liberal values and not taught how to teach. they think the kids will learn reading by osmosis and keep telling parents to READ to the kids and the kids will get it.
I have been around the school district since 1990 with my kids and the amount of students that cannot read in grammar school levels is phenomenal.
I agree. I find that kids today feel it is more important to have self esteem than a proper education. I work in a lab and we get students from the local colleges to do their clinical rotations. I find it amazing that they passed their general studies courses because they can’t even conjugate a verb properly. They do,however, have no problem criticizing their lab instructors for not grading them to “their” expectations.
look, until we stop lieing about education ,kids are doomed to failure
1. get competition
2.make the teachers pass the tests necessary to qualify to teach the kids
here in Phoenix we have the Aimes test....a must pass must take test to get outta high school.....
three years ago all teachers here had to take that Aimes test..............wanna guess the mean average score ????
a 52 was the average......from our teachers
now a four year old knows that water in the gas will not start the lawn mower
