MORE PROOF TO GET YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN, YOUR FAMILY'S CHILDREN OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INDOCTRINATION CAMPS CALLED PUBLIC SCHOOLS. When I was stationed at Fort Benning, Spencer HS is actually on government property, was a dump. My son went to school there. A dump. A “hood” hang out. Near the hood off post and all the hood came there and hung out around there.

Well this one is coming from the horse's mouth. I am a public school teacher, and these stories only touch the tip of the iceberg. There is no character building in schools now. If the students can pass a test then all is justified, the ends justify the means, no matter what kind of snot ball the student is. My Asst. Principal came to me last Friday and kindly asked me to pass a 16 year old in my 7th grade Language Arts (English class) because he is too old to be in middle school. Now mind you, this guy all year just came to class and slept. When he wasnt sleeping he was disturbing my class, now the admin. wants me to pass him. Also this year, our curriculum was replace by a priority curriculum. What is the priority curriculum? A curriculum that instructs teachers to teach for the state/federal mandated standardized test. What ever happened to teaching for the next grade, to teaching skills and strategies one could use throughout their scholastic careers? There are about two to three more stories I could share, but the point is schools and school systems rarely stand their ground when it comes to reinforcing students to become responsible citizens.
