Makes you kind of wonder how in our Founders days, kids learned how to read English and then Latin so that by the time they were 14 they were ready for college.
Public education is nothing more than a jobs program for illiterate dumb unemployable liberal arts majors. Sure there are good teachers. But good teachers can not overcome the idiocy that is the public education bureaucracy. Students are warehoused and indoctrinated to be good little political pawns.
I remember several years ago a football player from Oklahoma State University graduated and later admitted he could not read or write.
Big Education - guaranteeing children fail so that schools can whine, and always get from idiot voters, more money to prevent education failure, which keeps happening over and over no matter how much money they get.
My Daughter is a teacher. She is a good one too.
The one thing which strikes me as odd is she makes over $50,000 a year and thinks she is underpaid. Her husband makes even more and they think they are not wealthy.

A school's first job is to teach kids to read. please, the first job of schools today is to sustain the teachers union...
Remove your children from the government indoctrination centers ASAP.
Home school your children or enroll them in a quality, conservative private school.
Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, it’s time consuming. But these are your kids we’re talking about.
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.
For heaven’s sake! homeschool your children! If you absolutely can’t, take them through the book, TEACH YOUR CHILD TO READ IN 100 EASY LESSONS. The book tells you exactly what to say. A lesson take 10 minutes. There’s no reason not to do several a day. You can do it!
My eldest son learned to read by age 5. He just took to it.
The youngest was still not reading at the middle of second grade and had forgotten the phonics I had taught to him before he began herd school. I had to pull him out of the zoo and teach him to read.
