Wrong. At the national level, we need these data points to track the emerging pattern of suppression and, frankly, fascism.

So making a standard, a national standard, that all third graders must learn their times tables and all third grade teachers must be able to teach the times tables is FASCISM???

Interesting concept. Total BS but interesting comedy.

In math, english (reading and writing), true actual history, and science, every teacher should be tested to make sure they know and understand all of the material they are required to teach, in that grade, without having to go to the texts for their information. Every grade should have well defied nationwide standards of what each child should know when they complete that grade. Every student should be evaluated by tests every spring. If their teacher has not taught this information to the vast majority of their class the should not be teaching any longer, period.

This should also apply to all home school teachers and students. The same standards that demand the same results.

We work with a lot of Chinese student every year. Even the students think our education system is a joke. They have standards they are required to meet for both teachers and students. There are always multiple teachers in every classroom. They are in school for at least 9.5 hours a day and have enforced study time at home for 3.5 hours every night. This information comes directly from them and the Chinese teachers that come with them. These children are far ahead of our children and students.

It is all about standards for both students and teachers and parental involvement.

If you want your children to be able to compete and lead in the real global trade and multinational global economy there are standards that must be met right now. I've got a bit of news for you, they are already behind.

If you want Jane and John Doe kids to be unemployed, unemployable, or underemployed then let incompetent teachers continue to teach and let uneducated students continue to get high school diplomas.

The home schoolers and the teachers union both hate my ideas so I have to be getting close to the truth.

To repeat an astute comment from the video on YouTube...

” The whole audience should have gotten up, and threw the school board, and the security guard out of the building, and kicked their asses. This is America, and citizens should not allow this behavior. When, oh when, are we, as Americans going to rise up and take our Country back from these left-wing communists. This is pure tyranny, and it must be fought against wherever it rises its head. “

In case you haven’t figured it out, America has been hijacked and we are now owned by others just as we were owned by another country under King George of England. They own our government and direct the policies that make us all poorer and them richer. Get clued in instead of passively accepting the tyranny.

If he hadn’t spoken out the whole country would not have heard about this.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

More than just another reason to homeschool.

Government run amok....
