WASHINGTON (Sept. 27) -- Students beware: The summer vacation you just enjoyed could be sharply curtailed if President Barack Obama gets his way.

[Candor7]

What a joke. This is the NEA, trying to get raises, and Obama wants increased social conditioning for students , so they will fit into his planned Utopia.

Summer vacation is the only respite that students get from the Brainwashing they get in public schools these days, when they can actually learn how the real world works.

[Freddd]

And the schools collect money for each student, for each day of attendance. It has nothing at all to do with education. IT’S ABOUT MONEY!

[mware]

Karatemom, I am planning to play the James Clavell video on The Children's Store to my students.

The kids need to be able to tell when they are being indoctrinated.

Here is a link to part one.

Do you have any idea how many people would love a year round baby sitter ?

There are a lot of lazy freakin people out there

[ETL]

Translation: More indoctrination time needed.

"Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama"

This is great. George McGovern proposed the same thing and many of us kids swore we’d never vote Democrat ever because of it. Teachers wouldn’t even defend him on that one.

When I was a kid, in the 2nd Grade, my school was a local polling place. Back then, adults actually talked to children- and the poll workers on election day told me and my brother that if Goldwater was elected he’d make us go to school on Saturdays and all year round, and we should go home and tell our parents to vote for President Johnson.

After we did that, my dad was a lot more impressed with Goldwater’s platform than he was previously.

FUBO.

You’ll get to my kids over my dead body.

[Senator_Blutarski]

When did Obama move into my school district and get elected to the school board?

FUBO!

Two things amaze me about conservatives:

1) They consistently fail to realize that **conservatives** must stop “Waiting for Godot”. If were are going to save this nation we **must** get our nation's children into tuition-free PRIVATE conservative schools! We must do this NOW! We must do this ourselves! All those quotes from Lenin, Hitler, and Mao about educating the next generation are TRUE!!

2) I am amazed at how seriously clueless so many conservatives are about government schooling. We see comments on Free Republic daily from conservatives who foolishly believe that government schools would be “fixed” if only:

* The NEA were abolished
* The Department of Education were abolish
* Local control were re-instituted
* More parents volunteered in the PTA
* If conservatives controlled the school boards
* If evolution were eliminated
* We had the Pledge and prayer
* If government schools were only like they were in the early 1960s ( 50s) (40s) etc.

ad nauseam!

Government schools always have been and always will be socialism for parents who want something for FREE! Socialism can not be fixed!

ALL government schools from the very beginning in the mid-1800s are an object lesson for all children in socialism. All children learn ( just by attending) that the government can take money from their neighbor to pay for a service their parents want for free. Well?...If education can by taken from your neighbor's wallet, why not FDR's New Deal, retirement, disability, prescriptions, health care, free art and public radio, transportation, food, clothing, housing, and anything else the voting mob wants for free?

Government schools didn't make FDR's New Deal or Obamacare possible. Government schools made them INEVITABLE!!!!

( This post is a repeat of the same story. I posted the above on those other threads.)

Such a hideous control freak our president is ...

I wonder if Honduras is selling a pamphlet on how to oust your leader ...

[Fresh Wind]

The ONLY optimistic trend i see in this once-free country is that home-schooling has progressed so much in just a generation.

You can be damn sure King Baraq is looking for a way to put an end to home schooling.

[Steven Tyler]

Does 0bama realize he is an idiot-or is 0bama too stupid to understand he is an idiot

[wintertime]

My homeschooled children never spent more than 2 hours a day in formal study. The rest of the time they played and had outside activities.

Honestly...What are schools doing all day that can't be finished in 2 serious hours of study?

( We did homeschool Monday through Friday all year except for major holidays and my husband's 4 weeks of vacation.)

[chickenlips]

They’ll teach the 3 R’s; recycling, reproduction and rebellion.

[Salvation]

We don’t need MORE school we need BETTER education. Provide vouchers!

[browniexyz]

Another way to raise taxes—because your property taxes will go up 25% if school has to be open 25% more of the time...just another way the admin is looking to raise some dough, while looking like it’s “giving” us something. Same as health care, cap and trade and all the rest.

[browniexyz]

Wait, our little friend Newtie forgot to get rid of the federal Dept of Education, don cha know, even though the 94 election was in part for the purpose of doing so.

[gop4lyf]

I teach and I am going to tell my 24 3rd graders on Monday who for some reason idolize n0bama that he wants them to go to school during the summer.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

GOOD—our kids have the shortest school year in the world. No wonder they are so far behind. And this isn’t a bone to the Teacher’s Union—they want more time off not more days where they can pretend to teach. Education needs reform—that is true. Can Obama do it right? I don’t think so.
