• As a former
teacher … The education of school children in the USA has a long history of
socialism. That dogma or theme appears to be challenged by parents today who
are removing their kids from traditional public schools and putting them in charter
schools, private schools and home schools. An underlying theme by the left,
based on the declining performance of students [dropouts, low performance,
etc], appears to be that the left does not want an educated populace. They want
dependents who rely on government, their leftist government, for their very
existence. For more information about our schools and society, subscribe to the

If this is part of the intelligentsia’s case, they need not have spent so much time in school: eighth grade dropout Yogi Berra proved himself perfectly capable of the same error when he said that “nobody goes there any more—it’s too crowded.” [againstcronycapitalism.org] 8/17/14

Texas School Principal Fired for Following State Law and Trying to Prepare Students … Ms. Lacey said the incident was blown way out of proportion — and that she only advocated what Texas states in its code as law. … Lacey also appealed to state law—Title 19, Texas Administrative Code 89.1201 c. It reads:
English is the basic language of this state. Public schools are responsible for providing a full opportunity for all students to become competent in speaking, reading, writing and comprehending the English language.
… The mastery of basic English skills is a prerequisite for effective participation in the state’s educational program. Using English to the extent possible would also allow non-Spanish-speaking teachers a better opportunity to assess understanding and learning. … As far as I can tell, this is a pure-type example of the so-called government declaring a verdict against a person for merely doing her job in order to satisfy the angry masses.

Teacher unions and their insurance program in Wisconsin ... It seems that the insurance company that provided all the benefits to the teachers, was owned and operated by the teacher's union. Since the company was guaranteed to get the insurance business from the teachers and that the state had to pay for it (not the teachers) they were increasing the annual costs every year to become the most expensive insurance company in the state. The insurance company then was free and able to donate millions of dollars to their favorite Democrat politicians who, when they got elected, were obligated to keep funding the unions outrageous costs.

Unqualified Teachers Cover Up
Their Incompetence By Helping Students Cheat ... Those familiar with this
issue know there are numerous intertwined and overlapping reasons why American

is that leftwing indoctrination has supplanted teaching and learning as the
overall thought unstated purpose of public education. Another reason is that
liberals do not want young people to be able to read, write, compute, and think
critically—it makes them harder to mislead. Yet another reason is that the
development of academic discipline has been replaced by a focus on building self-esteem
in students—a trend that has made hurting a student’s feelings by giving him

When it is given where not deserved, it tells students that they are doing just fine and reduces their ability to overcome hurdles and rise to the challenges of learning new material. False praise without accomplishments is just “blowing smoke” that fosters mediocrity. Achievement is a key part of gaining self-esteem.

Melting Pot No More. Multi-Culturalism has been an educational objective for well over 30 years. In that vein, Democrats have been leaning heavily on the notion that immigrants and illegals who come into the USA should maintain a strong sense of their native heritage - where they came from.

Is it possible that Democrats seek every means possible to segment the US population into voting blocks?

Student Education or Indoctrination? Student achievement is the primary purpose of education in our public and private school systems. Education versus indoctrination is becoming a critical issue in shaping young minds. Remember that capturing the minds of the youth through indoctrination has been a primary “social” objective and accomplishment of most totalitarian regimes like those of NAZI Germany, Japan, USSR, China, Cuba and Iran. This includes many of the muslim theocracies where government, politics and religion are one in the same. We now see evidence of indoctrination becoming more common in our US public and private school systems. Mindless repetition of political dogma is indoctrination, not education. =TheRightJack 11/28/11

Government schools are one of our most debilitating government failures. First, school leaders and politicians cry out for more and more money. Then, when it occurs, more money has absolutely no effect on student performance. Secondly, teacher indoctrination of students into favored political positions takes precedence over the unbiased education of students. This is criminal behavior befitting the world’s worst despots. =TheRightJack 11/15/11

College degrees: Fields of study with a bachelor’s degree that do not pay well. Do not take out massive student loans if you plan to major in one of these areas.
• History - become an attorney
• Psychology, need a PhD
• Ethnic studies
• Women’s studies
• Classical studies
Strategy: Get a job and/or find a less expensive college. Take two years at a community college and then transfer.
So, select another major unless you are willing to earn a Masters Degree and then a Doctorate. Consider also that unemployment for people with a college degree has doubled. It was 4%, now it is at 8+% under the Obama economic policies. Employment = jobs are much worse for young adults with no college degree and even worse yet for dropouts with no high school diploma.

Furthermore, since teachers became unionized, starting in the 1960s, we have Big Dem Gov and unions putting union seniority rather than teacher competence above the education of our children.

Fact Check. Supporters of Wisconsin teachers get basic facts about teaching completely wrong -- The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and other supporters of the state's teachers union need to check their math: In Facebook posts and twitter messages, union supporters have been "promoting statistics that would suggest that collective bargaining for teachers is correlated with higher scores on standardized academic tests," according to Politifact. More specifically, union supporters claim that the five states that do not have collective bargaining for teachers have the following SAT/ACT ranks: South Carolina -50th/ North Carolina -49th/ Georgia -48th/ Texas -47th/ Virginia -44th," and that Wisconsin ranks second. According to Politifact, the claim is completely bogus. For starters, the data used to assemble the ranking is from 1999. In data from 2010, Virginia places higher (34th) and Wisconsin places slightly lower (3rd) on the SAT. The rest of the non-union states do much worse, but not because of collective bargaining. More likely, it's because only 4 percent of Wisconsin students took the SAT in 2010, compared to 74 percent of Georgia students, 67 percent of Virginia students, 66 percent of South Carolina students, 63 percent of North Carolina students, and 53 percent of Texas students. Hell, every state in the country would have a shot at the podium if it excluded 96 percent of its students from standardized test rankings.

No Excuses Please. There is no excuse for 8th graders to not be able to read or work elementary math problems. Back when the Earth was cooling and I was in elementary school, we had to stand beside our desks and read aloud in class. We had to go to the chalkboard and work math problems that we were studying. Teachers kept those with difficulties after school to fix their errors. Today, this board work would be considering embarrassing and would harm student self-esteem.

13%. Come down from your ivory tower, Dick Durbin - Is Sen Dick Durbin shameless, or just ill-informed? On Tuesday, the Illinois senator spoke to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, a trade group hellbent on cutting off federal funding to for-profit colleges. Durbin had this to say about the industry he's villified for over a year now: "There are many good for-profit colleges and they serve a vital purpose....But there are also a lot of bad for-profit schools that are raking in huge amounts of federal dollars and leaving students poorly trained and over their heads in debt." Are those statements true? Yes. So are these statements: "There are many good non-profit colleges and they serve a vital purpose. ... But there are also a lot of bad non-profit schools that are raking in huge amounts of federal dollars and leaving students poorly trained and over their heads in debt." One such non-profit is Chicago State University in Durbin's home state of Illinois. In its annual education issue, Washington Monthly reported that Chicago State "has the worst graduation rate of any public four-year university in Illinois and one of the worst in the nation, with just 13% of students finishing in six years." Funny how this problem is bigger--and closer to home--than either Durbin or Chicagoan Arne Duncan are willing to admit. [The DC Morning 2/2/11]

National science scores disappoint: More than 2/3s of the nation's 4th graders failed to show proficiency in science in 2009, the federal government reported, meaning that the average student was likely to be stumped when asked to interpret a temperature graph or explain an example of heat transfer. Roughly six out of 10 8th-graders and 12th-graders also fell short of science proficiency on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a key measure of performance in a subject that President Obama and business leaders call crucial for American competitiveness. "It's disappointing," said Francis Eberle, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association, based in Arlington. "Essentially, it says that science hasn't been part of the agenda. Science has had very little attention." He said that reading and math - the focus of most state standardized tests - have squeezed time for science lessons in daily classroom schedules.

"President Obama's health-care goals may be garnering attention, but his higher-education proposals are no less ambitious.
If adopted, they could transform the financial aid landscape for millions of students while expanding federal authority to a degree that even Democrats concede is controversial. ..."
Editor’s Note: Remember, HillaryCare was going to dictate what health fields colleges could offer and what students could enroll in and study. Medical schools would have had enrollment ceilings in certain fields. With that, just watch what happens to the choice of majors once the government is in total control of grant money.

Student Education or Indoctrination? Student achievement is the primary purpose of education in our public and private school systems. Education versus indoctrination is becoming a critical issue in shaping young minds. Remember that capturing the minds of the youth through indoctrination has been a primary “social” objective and accomplishment of most totalitarian regimes like those of NAZI Germany, Japan, USSR, China, Cuba and Iran. This includes many of the muslim theocracies where government, politics and religion are one in the same. We now see evidence of indoctrination becoming more common in our US public and private school systems. Mindless repetition of political dogma is indoctrination, not education. =TheRightJack 11/28/11

Government schools are one of our most debilitating government failures. First, school leaders and politicians cry out for more and more money.

In this wretched educational climate, teachers bring a lot less grief on themselves if the just pass “bad” students along to the next teacher. More money for teacher salaries is not the issue or the fix. Learning is about parents and school administrators who support and stand behind the teachers. How many more wasted lives will it take before learning becomes the #1 Objective in education. =trj

The Workforce. Retirees generally are more costly to support than children. The average public school education costs $10,000 a year. The average retiree gets $25,000 a year in benefits — $13,000 in Social Security and Medicare benefits of $12,000. In all, taxpayers will spend about $125,000 educating a child and $500,000 caring for a senior, in today’s dollars at current life expectancies, according to federal education and retirement program data. The costs are paid differently, too. State and local governments, through sales and property taxes, pay most education expenses. The federal government, though income taxes, pays most retiree costs.

Fact Check. Supporters of Wisconsin teachers get basic facts about teaching completely wrong -- The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and other supporters of the state's teachers union need to check their math: In Facebook posts and twitter messages, union supporters have been "promoting statistics that would suggest that collective bargaining for teachers is correlated with higher scores on standardized academic tests," according to Politifact. More specifically, union supporters claim that the five states that do not have collective bargaining for teachers have the following SAT/ACT ranks: South Carolina -50th/ North Carolina -49th/ Georgia -48th/ Texas -47th/ Virginia -44th," and that Wisconsin ranks second. According to Politifact, the claim is completely bogus. For starters, the data used to assemble the ranking is from 1999. In data from 2010, Virginia places higher (34th) and Wisconsin places slightly lower (3rd) on the SAT. The rest of the non-union states do much worse, but not because of collective bargaining. More likely, it's because only 4 percent of Wisconsin students took the SAT in 2010, compared to 74 percent of Georgia students, 67 percent of Virginia students, 66 percent of South Carolina students, 63 percent of North Carolina students, and 53 percent of Texas students. Hell, every state in the country would have a shot at the podium if it excluded 96 percent of its students from standardized test rankings.

No Excuses Please. There is no excuse for 8th graders to not be able to read or work elementary math problems. Back when the Earth was cooling and I was in elementary school, we had to stand beside our desks and read aloud in class. We had to go to the chalkboard and work math problems that we were studying. Teachers kept those with difficulties after school to fix their errors. Today, this board work would be considering embarrassing and would harm student self-esteem.

13%. Come down from your ivory tower, Dick Durbin - Is Sen Dick Durbin shameless, or just ill-informed? On Tuesday, the Illinois senator spoke to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, a trade group hellbent on cutting off federal funding to for-profit colleges. Durbin had this to say about the industry he's villified for over a year now: "There are many good for-profit colleges and they serve a vital purpose....But there are also a lot of bad for-profit schools that are raking in huge amounts of federal dollars and leaving students poorly trained and over their heads in debt." Are those statements true? Yes. So are these statements: "There are many good non-profit colleges and they serve a vital purpose. ... But there are also a lot of bad non-profit schools that are raking in huge amounts of federal dollars and leaving students poorly trained and over their heads in debt." One such non-profit is Chicago State University in Durbin's home state of Illinois. In its annual education issue, Washington Monthly reported that Chicago State "has the worst graduation rate of any public four-year university in Illinois and one of the worst in the nation, with just 13% of students finishing in six years." Funny how this problem is bigger--and closer to home--than either Durbin or Chicagoan Arne Duncan are willing to admit. [The DC Morning 2/2/11]

National science scores disappoint: More than 2/3s of the nation's 4th graders failed to show proficiency in science in 2009, the federal government reported, meaning that the average student was likely to be stumped when asked to interpret a temperature graph or explain an example of heat transfer. Roughly six out of 10 8th-graders and 12th-graders also fell short of science proficiency on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a key measure of performance in a subject that President Obama and business leaders call crucial for American competitiveness. "It's disappointing," said Francis Eberle, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association, based in Arlington. "Essentially, it says that science hasn't been part of the agenda. Science has had very little attention." He said that reading and math - the focus of most state standardized tests - have squeezed time for science lessons in daily classroom schedules.

Eliminate monopoly control of government education by applying the antitrust laws to the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers; the monopoly is destructive of quality education and competition and is unresponsive to the taxpayers who fund it.
Eliminate tenure for government schoolteachers and college/university professors, making them accountable for the quality of instruction they provide students.

"President Obama's health-care goals may be garnering attention, but his higher-education proposals are no less ambitious.
If adopted, they could transform the financial aid landscape for millions of students while expanding federal authority to a degree that even Democrats concede is controversial. ..."
Editor’s Note: Remember, HillaryCare was going to dictate what health fields colleges could offer and what students could enroll in and study. Medical schools would have had enrollment ceilings in certain fields. With that, just watch what happens to the choice of majors once the government is in total control of grant money.
Want to become a teacher? That is probably OK because that is how the government indoctrinates the k-12 student population.
Want to study art, business or medicine? Not so fast there lowly high school graduates. Let your all-knowing and all-seeing Uncle Sam take a politically correct look at the job market and decide the appropriate major for you . . . The Right Jack

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
