Education - BooHiss! (Part 2)



[Tags: God, Education, pledge, socialism, tolerance,
spending]




(Continued from BooHiss! (Part 1)



Tenure – this is the worst idea ever. Because a teacher has taught in a school for a certain amount of years, they will continue to do so, whether or not they do good or bad. No other job has this type of benefit. Even in the military or government service, a person can be removed easier than removing a tenured teacher. While teachers should not longer be tenured, nor should their pay be so low. Good teachers should be reviewed twice yearly and be tested for competence in their field of study – after all, they are supposed to know what it is they are teaching! Good performance should benefit a higher pay raise and bonus, bad performance a low raise and no bonus. Every job everywhere has this structure – why not education?

Zero tolerance - Which makes zero sense. This policy is put in place to avoid accountability by administrators and educators from having to make decisions, and to remove liability of the school in situations where they may be held liable. This is the cowards way out. For example, small children (ages between 6 and 10) are being expelled from school because mommy put a plastic butter knife in with the kids lunch. Zero tolerance says that a “knife” of any kind is a weapon and therefore the child must be expelled. That's idiotic. Why are we not holding the schools administrators liable to make decisions based upon findings and facts? Isn't that why they are there? If they are not running the school and making decisions why is there a need for administrators? Zero tolerance also teaches kids the wrong thing – that there is no flexibility in decisions and in effect there is “intolerance”. Not something kids should be learning at school.

The Spending “black hole” - Which has a direct line to your property taxes. Did your taxes go up this year? If they did, be sure that some of that money was earmarked for education, whether or not you still have kids in school or not. Want to home school? Sorry – taxes are the same thank you very much. Want to send your kid to private school because your school system sucks? Taxes still come out. The 'black hole” is nothing more than pocketed spending that is then “creatively” massaged by your local government and spent elsewhere. Someone's getting rich off your taxes and little is being put directly into your schools (though I'm sure there are exceptions to this). Using my state as an example, spending is at an all time high, student's testing results are at an all time low. You figure it out.

Colleges are the indoctrination of Socialism of America - Overall there are any studies that show the overwhelming majority of college administrators and professors are liberals. Many who have made the news of late are ṻber liberals or what I will call, Socialists. These “professors” don't really want to provide a higher caliber of learning and thought processes to your student; they want to provide them a basis of distrust and hate of America's way of life by continually pounding away at them, day after day, with constant dissent and anti-American fervor. Jay Bennish was child's play compared to what kids hear in Colleges and Universities around America. They come out with degrees in all sorts of fields yet don't have a grasp in reality, how those things work. They of course are demanding $50K to $60K a year, but cannot function in a company (who by the way is an evil capitalist junta), but sure as shit know how to plan a rally and knows what card stock to buy for large signs that say “No War for Oil”. That they can do in spades. Then I get to the REASON why corporations are going off shore for their job placement. Could it be that College educated kids just are too stupid with their degree to function in a corporation? Could it be that the demand of $60k a year for incompetence strikes corporations as a bad move, and why not get a smart “hit the ground running” Masters Degree holder in India, who will do a bang up job for $30k, as an alternative? I'm no economics genius, but it doesn't sound like the America-hating brain-washed socialist College grad has a chance. How about Colleges sticking to the curriculum instead of filling kids heads with nonsense?


I've come to ursurp the zionists and have sex with smart white women!

The Yale story with our own Taliban student has been well publicized and covered by the MSM so I won't go all into that, other than to say, it's par for the course in American higher education. This is no surprise, and had Uday and Osay lived and were they not charged with Crimes Against Humanity like their father, they'd be teaching Middle East studies at one of our Ivy League schools today and little silver spoon junior would be eagerly signing up for office time at the bulletin board.



The utterance of “God” in schools - This is NOT a crime folks. People bring in their lives and homes to schools all the time. Your kid doesn't want to say the Pledge of Allegiance – don't stand up and do it. Don't want to say “God” then no ones making you. Your kid feels left out because of it – that's the price you pay for sticking up for your beliefs. Sorry. Nothing in life is free and having convictions your willing to stand by sometimes takes a little courage. Stop whining and pushing your BS on the rest of us. They certainly don't like it when the “bible thumpers” try to convert them, so why are they trying to convert people who actually believe in “God” - isn't that also hypocritical?


The time has come for America's Educational quid pro quo to end. It's time someone stands up and takes on the Unions and sets the stage for future generations of Americans to be fully educated about their history, about Math and Science and Language. This includes prep-test classes and "cheat classes" designed to teach kids how to take exams and NOT how to actually understand the material they SHOULD be being taught in the first place! What we do get are kids who know hot to test well, but ones who really don't understand the material at all. What we are left with is an educational system that drives taxes up and we the taxpayers get nothing in return as a society. Who looses? The citizens and their kids. The winners are the unions and those within the local and state governments who constantly get MORE money and produce LESS results. If ANYTHING in America needs a social run program it's Education. The Dept. of Education is castrated and ineffective as well as lazy. State and local school districts are corrupt and could care less about raising the bar of learning for kids coming through the system. This lackluster dysfunction trickles down into society as a whole where more jobs are outsourced overseas while disenfranchised youth think America sucks because they can't get a job. It's a full vicious circle that needs to be corrected.

So, who wants the job?
