GOVERNMENT SPONSORED PUBLIC SCHOOL

GOVERNMENT SPONSORED PUBLIC SCHOOL

If they would educate our kids’ government sponsored schools may not be so bad.  But when they are not educating and test scores are steadily going down each year, I see no need for public schools.

Ever since the government create the DOE and started throwing money at schools back in the 60’s, thing have progressively gotten worse.

Since 1962, SAT verbal scores have declined despite billions of federal dollars pumped into public education. The more federal money Congress pumps into education the worse it gets. Why? Because educational malpractice is very expensive, and without federal funding we’d have much less of it.

Real spending per pupil ranges from a low of nearly $12,000 in the Phoenix area schools to a high of nearly $27,000 in the New York metro area.  The national average in fiscal year 2009 was $10,499, a 2.3 percent increase over the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, citing data from Public Education: 2009.

Federal education grants subsidize the liberal academic elite with its secular humanist, socialist agenda, thus violating the Constitutional prohibition against establishing a state religion. It's a religion that preaches conformity, forces you into dependency, and teaches you to spend your life doing what everyone else tells you to do:  Humanism.

According to the pro-education reform documentary Waiting for ‘Superman,’ one out of every 57 doctors loses his or her license to practice medicine.

One out of every 97 lawyers loses their license to practice law.

In many major cities, only one out of 1000 teachers is fired for performance-related reasons. Why? Tenure.

Tenure is the practice of guaranteeing a teacher their job. So that they would feel protected if they took a political stance that disagreed with the local school board or community.  Also to work as a check against administrators purposefully firing teachers and replacing them with friends or family members. 

We are often told that free-thinking academics need the security of tenure to preserve academic freedom and open debate. Really?


Far from securing a free and open academic culture, tenure can have the opposite effect. 
Colleges and universities want to give jobs and tenure only to qualified applicants—and qualified applicants are those who think the same way as the already tenured professors on the tenure review committees. So, no, tenure does not encourage a fluid, energetic, and open-ended culture of intellectual give-and-take. Rather, tenure encourages conformity, like values, total equality at any cost, and forces you into a thought process of dependency.

After around the 5th grade, schools in this country don't teach anything useful anyway. They break students down into the mindset that they need to listen to their self-appointed superiors. They promote the fact that students need to listen to the teachers, and not question what they say. They teach us to be cogs in the machine. As a result of this blind obedience, many questions go unanswered, and many answers go unquestioned.

I have an example of our local school system.  When my daughter was in the 5^th grade, 11 & 12 year olds, in her spelling class at the beginning of the year, every student took a test to get what I believed the teacher called a “bowling” score.  You would be tested on how many questions you missed on a impromptu spelling test.  Some kids scored very well, they earned a 90, 95, and even a 100.  And some received scores of 50, 45, 40, and some lower.  So when it came time for the real test a few weeks later, each child would get out a newspaper and as a class read it for current events, then the teacher would tell the children to choose 10 words out the story they had just read.  Some of the words these 11 & 12 year olds choose were, the, them, it, dog, foot, we, etc.  Then the teacher would choose 10 words from the story.  Her words were like, attend, banker, breakfast, household, etc.  So the teacher would collect all 20 words and put them on the test.  Now if a student that had a bowling score of 95, if she missed 1 word she would still get a 100 on the test.  Now the child that had a bowling score of 40, he could miss 12 out of 20 words…he could still get a 100 on his test. 

I also work with 4, 5, & 6^th graders at Church that attend public school.  The majority of them can’t spell, several have trouble reading, and most can barely write legibly.
And all this is in the name of “Fairness”.  I don’t see how this is fair to any of the students.  The one that has a score of 95 not only gets discouraged because she works hard to get her score, but the other child just shows up and doesn’t care, doesn’t study or even try, but yet still gets a score of 100.  And then in the long run, he hasn’t been taught.  How is he going to be able to get a good job when he gets out of school?  More than likely he will be on the government dime, but isn’t that one of the things that having tenure teachers promote?

I don't know why schools use these idiotic teaching methods. I think they get away with it because the public schools are government-run monopolies. Most everything government controls turns to poison and I don't see why public schools should be any different. Public schools don’t go out of business no matter how bad they are or how stupid their teaching methods because they are government monopolies. That’s a prescription for education disaster. 

More people need to form some type of community private school.  My daughter is home schooling her 2 children.  They both could use sign language before they were 1.  They both could read words like clap, head, nose, before they were 1.  My grandson is 28 months old and knows how to count to 10 and show you each one of them.  He can say all his alphabets and put them in order when picking them up from a pile.  He can also say and point out most Presidents of the USA.

The United States government says that everyone has a “right” to a free education.  Instead, they gave us school.  Obviously, there has been a failure to communicate somewhere along the line.  You can refuse any of your "rights" if you so choose……. So why are children forced to go to school?  Doesn’t sound like a "right"….

Right (n.) - a just claim or title, whether legal, prescriptive, or moral.

Obligation (n.) - something by which a person is bound or obliged to do certain things, and which arises out of a sense of duty or results from custom, law, etc.

Which category does school fall under?  Obligation, of course, school is something that millions of students are bound and obliged to attend.  Unfortunately, many people don't see the problem that lies within this system.  "School is good," they're told, and they listen without question.  Now you want to know why this so-called "education" system is so bad, I'm sure.  Simply put, it discourages individual thinking.  It takes in children and pumps out robots.  Why is this continuing?
