71. agree with all but...

and very good points, too. it all feeds.

Despite what the education establishment says, the truth also is that parental involvement in the schools is discouraged -- except when it comes to fundraising and tax hike elections -- otherwise butt-out (I don't know any parents who advocate for high stakes testing).

i have never found a school, even sons high school which surprised me, that wasnt thrilled me stepping in when there was an issue.

i so was a participant, that i got regular emails from teachers when they heard of an issue in another class.

in high school, i touched base with a couple three teachers of my oldest son, and a couple times thru out the year they sent me emails.

so i have never had issues with the schools.

and i really do not mind the tak tests. i want kids to take them, cause they score high adn help bring the average up. helping the schools

i am also one, trying to get kids thru school before they are totally fucked up. i do not blame the teachers and schools, i blame the politicians that are creating the mess for all.

First, of course, are the economic stresses that the emergence of a plutocracy in the United States has created for poor, working and middle class folks.

Liberals are sometimes uncomfortable addressing these social issues, but let's face it, the divorce rate certainly hurts children tremendously.

and this is a very real problem, that yes, we do not want to talk about.
