What's Happening to Our Schools

[pyramidheadkitten9]

ive seen how children are, especially in more urban areas. they dont want to pass anything. they just sit there, most of them of them would rather be out of school . and you know what? most of them will never become anything successful in life. best job they will get will be a bag filler at walmart. i say expel those kinds of children. theyll be happy they dont have school, our schools wont be sucked dry of money, and they wont be a distraction to better students.

@pyramidheadkitten9 this is not a problem of the children, it is a problem with the parents ... people who believe that an education is not important teach that to their children ... while I do not agree with you completely, I do not disagree with you ... I believe the students with no desire to learn are the majority and the ones with higher potential of intelligent thought begin to gravitate towards this collective mindset ... the souring of the vine so to speak ...

@16technokid the flowing water must then find another course ... I feel no sympathy for people who do not feed their children and complain when they are starving ... it is a simple matter of cause and effect ... there is little debate in an enlightenened population outside of how to correct this problem ... one school of thought is to forcefeed the children and the other is to remove them from this institution ... if you are someone who desires neither, you must learn to feed your own children

Love it, no bathroom, no books, sit nicely and do the test! No nose blowing! So true.

EXACTALLY this is whats happening to our education

[t3mpl3guardian]

@16technokid I have learned more in my life by reading books and listening to others speak than I had ever learned in school so I propose parents take active involvement in the lives of their children once again instead of relying on an institution to do their job ... this idea that people are not responsible for the failed development of their own children is simply ignorance of reality ... collective humanity moves as water ... and building a damn will halt that flow to a trickle ...

Education in this country went down the toilet when the Federal Gov't got involved. Another example of Washington over-stepping "States" rights.

I work in a school and the teachers cannot teach when they are worried about this testing, and all the crap that comes along with it. more paper wprk and less teaching and spending time with the kids they are supposed to be teaching.

NCLB is a stupid law!

[redandbluepaisley]

NCLB is the WORSE thing that has ever happened to public education in America because it puts the needs of testing companies and text book companies above the needs of children. Lets get rid of it Today!

Loved watching this at the end of Hooked on Meaning. Of course, the piano music during this version makes it a little less humorous.

Great job, as usual.
