HOW DID THEY STOP THE KIDS FROM LEARNING TO READ? Are you serious? They NEVER STARTED teaching the kids to read. They never STARTED correcting mis-spoken language. The NEVER corrected wrong spelling. The NEVER taught proper punctuation.
These kids cannot speak, read, or spell properly. They cannot find their home state on a map of the USA, let along the world. They can’t do simple math in their heads.

Their problems are not all the kid’s own fault. The fact is they were NEVER taught in those overpriced “education centers”.

Apparently, you didn't read the REST of my posting, so I will repeat it here to help you.

I posted: What is that old saying, “Just because you hear doesn’t mean you were listening!” That is the same situation here; just because I teach doesn’t mean you were learning. In both situations, it takes ACTIVE participation of BOTH parties!

I did not state that it was ALL the kids fault, but they are just as guilty as the teachers. I have sat on many school and PTA boards, volunteered many hours in doing teacher reviews and audits. From my experience, I will state that MOST kids today simply do NOT want to learn. PERIOD!

That is a sad fact, but most are simply not interested because their parent's aren't interested. Most kids will show the most interest in the same things in which their parents or mentors show interest - basic fact. Because of this basic fact, you get a systematic programming made up of GIGO (garbage in, garbage out).

You stated: They NEVER STARTED teaching the kids to read. They never STARTED correcting mis-spoken language. The NEVER corrected wrong spelling. The NEVER taught proper punctuation.

I say that they MAY have attempted to do so, but most parents complained that their children were being mistreated, misunderstood or some other lame excuse for their kids failure to comprehend and comply with proper reading, speaking, spelling and punctuation. If the parents do not support and enforce the teachers efforts, then no matter who or what is up there teaching, the kids are not going to acquire that knowledge.

All the proper knowledge that was attempted to be imparted to the students in a short ninety minute session each (or every other day) can not undo all of the improper knowledge with which the kids were deluged the other 22.5 hours of the day.

As I started my original post, anything bad that happens to a teacher's union is still too good for them, but this particular lawsuit is simply ignorant and pretty much without merit.
