Why Can't We Accept That Our Society Needs Its Teachers to Teach for The Test?

22. European nations have the right take on education, as well as health programs.

Interesting to hear about it from someone who has experienced it.

What saved me in terms of education is that in grammar school, I was very tall, and the nuns positioned people according to height. So I was always at the back of the class room.

By third grade, I would have a book I that I enjoyed reading spread open on my knees, and I would read the book the moment that my dull spelling or math work was done. I could usually get an assignment that they allotted 40 minutes for done in a mere fifteen, so the rest of the time was spent reading Robert Louis Stevenson, Dickens, Alcott, and others.

What kept me in love with school was the English classes and the art classes.

Sadly, art and music classes are now missing from many school districts. I know our local school district has some 9.6 millions of dollars to operate on, down from 15.5 million in 2009-2010. California's budget badly needed help from the Federal Government, but that was declined. And so then Jerry Brown and the legislature has gladly slashed health programs and education in order to look like they are smart enough to deliver a surplus.
