Unless or until we, who actually care about this nation's future (in our children), completely shut down the Department of Education, dismantle "national education 'standards,'" we can only expect more of the same until our nation's youth no longer desire the wonderful country into which they were born.
Many of those indoctrinated children now run major institutions, have children of their own and also believe this drivel.
“We” agree, however, the vast majority of the public don’t have the time nor the wherewithal to see or care what is being taught or how in public schools...it takes responsibility, maturity and accountability to actually give a damn about what your children are being taught.
How many “parents” out there do you think actually give a damn?
If they had a choice between homeschooling their kids or watching Real Housewives, which would win?
If they had a choice between being able to buy newest I-phone or paying to send their children to a private school, which would win?
The film “Idiocracy” is becoming more and more a reality as the population of this country continues its slide into stupidity and idiocy thanks to “teachers”...
IMO the only “national” standard there should be in education is that everyone speaks ENGLISH.
The only other involvement the Feds should have is to give matching funds in the form of grants to the states to help schools keep pace with technology.
