  • @HerPirateness exactly. leave government out. they already suck at everything they do

  • I personally regret having been kicked out of high school and having not finished my education when I had the chance to get it for free. Never once, in my wildest dreams, would I have pictured ending up in this position. Its amazing how one absolutely stupid and selfish (wrong) mistake could mess up a life so much. For me personally, I'm glad I'm going back into school and I regret the 8 years that I have lost. I think that students, who want to get back into school, there should be more help.

  • comment 2/2: the real silent problem IS no child left behind. it forces schools to treat everyone absolutely equally without intelligence. forcing teachers to down throttle curriculum leaves the brightest behind. 1/4 of the year on vacation and spending 1/3 of the next year recapping is absurd. turning primary school from a factory into an academic campus is the solution.. and that can't happen with a department of education.

  • comment 1/2: i was probably always considered left behind when in truth i was out of the box. I "dropped out" of high school because i was sick of this one size fits all public bullshit. get in line, think the same, do the work, earn the diploma, bullshit. i basically rebelled more and more every year, not doing homework, pissing off teachers (oh you have so much potential if you would just do the work). dropping out gave me the chance to learn.

  • My question is, why is the government responsible for this problem? Shouldn't this be the parents responsibility? If more parents took an active role in there childrens lives we wouldn't have problems like this.
