  • @thankssaintjoseph: You mean a housewife can teach anything from Chemistry and Math to French? As a foreigner, I am amazed home-schooling is even legal.

  • PhilintheBlank1,

    Do you feel Presidents and CEOs and anyone who frequently gives long speeches should read from printed pages or do you feel they should memorize their speeches? 

    Or should they always speak extemporaneously?

  • @PhillyWargamer A unbiased organization did a study about Fox News. Their study showed that 89% of all of the news pertaining to Democrats, or President Obama, was either just plain false, or grossly exaggerated!!!!

  • @MsJanetWood shut your beer hole honkey.

  • @groundhog2008 lol, I doubt it.

  • The old spend money to solve problems solution : Race ToThe top is an short term solution not a long term one. One way to fix the American public school system is to overhoul the entire system to better suit 21st centruy demands.

  • @Poptartza ha ha, you are beyond lost on what is an effective motivation for students.

  • Stupid texas refused this, so now we are runing out of paper and teachers are getting laid by alot!

  • @Poptartza Very true. If people don't value education, they'll never get it.

  • @pipkguitar The system is flawed, but it's not the biggest problem; its the home. Some students, and parents treat schools like a holding pen instead of an institute of learning. It is these student who disrupt class, slow down the teachers lesson, and overall slow down the learning process. China and India are better because, they are always bearing down over their kids to make sure they are doing well in school. In china with grades, there is no reward for success, just punishment for failure.
