Reply #178: because the solution is corporatizing the schools. there are teachers here and there

[seabeyond]

that are not doing their job. as there was teachers not doing their job in our days and our parents days. reality. i heard the horrors of the public school and started my kids out in private. i realized by the time son was in fourth grade, he was not getting the academic diversity and stimulation and advancement of the public schools. since putting kids in public schools, i have not seen the issue that a group in the nation is so vocal about. i have worked within the schools. i have talked to the teachers, their goals with students, the challenges of the teachers and adm. uppermost, they have the best interest of the child. not perfection, but to know that they see their challenge as educating the children (not perfectly) then that goes a long way for me.

BUT

i will also say, that over the years i have watched my children start all the subjects at a younger age. hit subject deeper than we did in our time. have a more well rounded education, and intensive education than we had

so i really resent the hell out of the people that have no concept of what the kids are learning, telling me they are not learning the same as what we did in our time. the kids are learning and doing MORE.
