This is what happens when the primary goal of the education cabal is to provide support to the Democrat Party.
Exactly, which is why Trump needs to allow DeVois to radically reform this mess.
It's also why we have school slaughters...
What a sad commentary. It seems that the public education system is actually victimizing the youth of our nation, in favor of supporting leftist ideologies and goals. And they will tell us that, if they had more money from us, they would do better.
pray DeVos can drain this swamp
Georgia has something called the, Hope Scholarship. If a kid graduates with a, 3.0 or better, they get their tuition paid for, at state schools. The money comes from the lottery. Kid has to maintain a 3.0 or better to keep the money flowing. Well, at some point the bean counters realized that more money was going out than coming in. More kids getting into and going to college, right? Lots of smart kids coming out of Georgia high schools, right? Well, it would appear, not so much.
How many kids, with high GPAs and Hope Scholarship money were in, Remedial Math and English classes at their institutions of higher learning? Thousands. How many kids lost their Hope Scholarships or washed out their first year, because they couldn’t to the work or keep the GPA up? Thousands. Now some of that may be from drinking too much, sure. But, most of it was not being able to do the work.
It seems that high school teachers, in order to give kids a chance, were stroking them grades, knowing that they couldn’t solve: 2x=6, find x, and passed them off to the next level.
Add to that, the fact that they rely on Smartphones and tablets for everything and people wonder why they have trouble with the basics.
What this country needs is a FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. That will make things right!!!
I’d love to see stats on what it looked like before we let the feds mess up the system in 1979. We all know what the motive was behind it..and it wasn’t THIS:
“”The Department of Education regulates exactly what, when and how children are being educated within the public school system. It is immensly important so to secure the integrity and promising future for the next generation who will become leaders, buisnessmen and influential people.””
Don’t you just love the “influential people” portion of that???
Don’t be so critical. These kids are experts when it comes to putting a condom on a cucumber. Who needs math?
