The reason this exists is because the schools are getting more federal money if they will pass the students. That is the issue in a nutshell. Like our government everything is being ran like a failed corporation. Corporations like ENRON, Fannie Mae, & Freddie Mac, GMAC, AIG, The list is incredible, & would go on for miles if placed on a continuous paper list. These corporations are all members of the United Nations concept, which to implement requires the destruction of conservative America.
The public, not the NEA, wants every student to go to college, so we make every student take courses that would send them in that direction. In most every other country, the students are sent to either an academic school or a vocational school. When we show test scores in the US, we show the scores of everyone. When you see the test scores from other countries, you see that of a selected few. America has gotten what it wants. Don't blame the NEA.
One more thing, when I lived and went to high school in France I noticed they failed students on a regular basis and it wasn't that big of a deal. Students had to re-do a year if they failed. Students who didn't want to continue failing, just quit or went to a trade. Maybe if we failed students, it would give them more incentive to learn and conitnue along with their peers. But we wouldn't want to put too much pressure on them, that wouldn't be good for their self esteem, would it?
Many of the poorer students go into vocational schools, other students decide to study music, literature, or economics, and the ones competing against our math and science scores are specializing in math and science as their major in college. Maybe we ought to stop dumbing down our classrooms by insisting all students take and pass the same courses, and have govt quit making schools responsible for students' lack of study habits.
What they don't mention is that many countries with higher Math and Science scores than we have don't have mandatory inclusion for all students, gifted, underachieving, priveleged, or poor. It also doesn't say anything about those foreign schools making their students decide what educational paths they'll take at 9th grade.
OK, I saw the film. It was so excellent that I hated it. Well, you know what I mean, I hate the premise that I'm paying hard earned dollars into such a sham of an educational system. Corruption in NJ? Gee, who would have thought?
So my question - what do I do? How do we get school choice? To whom do we DEMAND school choice?
Yes, you aren't the only one since I've been paying NJ State Property Taxes (the largest % goes to NJ Education) since 1973, have no children and have personally never received any educational benefit.

@sfldd You are either a damned liar, or just don't have a clue what you are a part of.

The NJEA thinks the NJ Schools are wonderful and it fails to recognize the failings not only of the schools, but the students.

Let me get this straight. The teaching system has failed, and they want to give them MORE money?
That's rewarding failure.
I say, get rid of the people in office that want to give these failures more money.
