The College of Really Hard Knocks by TheRightJack


Our Public Schools

Are Obama, the Democrats and unionized Teachers really putting our public school students between a rock and a hard place? 

There has been an ongoing effort for decades to dumb down the school curriculum and what is considered “passing grades.” Passing grades may be more accurately regarded as good scholastic “performance.” This pressure to pass lower and lower performing students on to the next level continues even more strongly today than in the past. In reality, our public schools are producing a host of functionally illiterate graduates who can barely read, write, perform basic math such as long division and percentages or find their neighboring state on a map. 

Many of our students know next to nothing.

As a former teacher, I find it very difficult to understand why a political party would push for this. It certainly does not benefit students. So, who benefits from naïve, uninformed and ill-educated students, many of whom are graduated from high school. The beneficiary has to be the Democrat Party. 

They are creating generations of followers, not leaders.

In doing this, Democrats are creating an ever increasing “knowledge gap” between public and private school students. How can dropouts and graduates get jobs and eventually develop businesses when they do not know the basic skills of life. For Democrats, there is no need to know that stuff. Big Dem Gov will help them get by [at a subsistence level of dependence] as long as they vote for Big Dem Gov. That is the bottom line. 

This knowledge gap is the foundation for the job gap, the income gap, the creativity gap and the wealth gap. =TheRightJack on 2/13/12
