““All students are the same.”

“The teacher will have no effect on the student beyond the coursework.”

“All students must be taught the same things.””


False, True, False

**What is your point?**

That many jobs don’t require the one size fits all college prep lineup.

What about History and English? Most jobs don’t require those.

And why go to college to become a bookkeeper.

I have no problem with kids going straight to trade school after their sophmore year of high school. They change their minds a few years later? Just go back to school. My wife did at 53. And I changed careers at 47.

History is good for patriotism and nationalism. It’s not important for young globulleestas.

English is good any career, and also for patriotism and nationalism.

Where are Gina and Jenna’s Dads?

Until we recover the family, we will continue to fail as a nation.

Perhaps so when “Strawberry Alarm Clock” was a new release. Now it’s “acting Asian”.

My parents did not get involved with any of us 4 kids in school or for that matter most everything else. I learned on my own but was hampered at school since I needed glasses to see the board. I read 2 sets of encyclopedia books at home and and at school I spent a lot of time in the library reading or sleeping....

A parent involvement is necessary.
Otherwise you end up with a kid who is shortchanged and can be now a days abused at school by creepy teachers and administrators.

#22 I too went thru the new math and only learned the basics years later on my own.
