Our public school system is a complete and utter failure, an unmitigated disaster and yet the government throws more money at it instead of fixing the problems starting with disbanding the teachers unions and getting more accountability and responsibility from not only the teachers but the school administrators. Hold all those bastards accountable first, get rid of the ineffective and lousy teachers and that is a start. Also start teaching the basics and the fundamentals, reading, writing and arithmatic. Do not allow any parent to enrol a student in kindergarten before the age of five or six. Fail students or hold them back from graduating who fail to meet even the minimum standards of learning and ability and above all stop being politically correct!
AMEN! I think ALL public service employee unions ought to be illegal. Trash men, public transit workers, government service workers, police and firemen, and especially teachers.
