9. The Obama administration has been horrible for schools.

It's pretty disgusting to watch a Democratic administration so decimate public education. Everything wonderful about learning, teaching, learning to learn, reasoning, problem solving, critical thinking, tapping into talents and abilities, inspirations, ... worthless.

Isn't it wonderful how education is now a race. And about "college and career readiness".

Funny, I thought public education purpose was to have an educated populace that can participate in a democratic society. Some how that means the economy and profits.

Thanks for your posts, mad.
