So that's what's going on! I've been having one hell of a time with my 9 yr old, who is expected to produce MLA style essays. She's trying to learn geometry. Last month, it was Algebra concepts. She still hasn't memorized her multiplication tables yet. She just doesn't want to go to school anymore. The teachers are freaking out, and so are the kids. To take the heat off of us, I wrote a letter requesting that she be tested for learning disabilities. Utter crap.

My son on the other hand, has 11 years of documented misbehavior between 2 school districts. He does get sick a lot, but when he's there, he just sits there disrupting the class and conning the female teachers. He needs to drop out and get a damn job. I'm tired of this. When and if he ever gets a clue, he can finance night school for himself.

I don't think the Feds, or the state should be involved with education. Leave it up to the individual school districts...and for God's sake, let's pass some voucher initiatives.
