Yes, standardized test would have a place if they were created to a useful standard. I am an educator and I detest what our schools have become. Part of the problem is that conservatives and Constitutionalist, like myself, have given up on the system and left it to the liberal progressives and communist. There are a few “right-wing” educators left in our schools but we are so few it is hard to make changes. Parents must help effect change in the system by refusing to send their children to these broken institutions. Also, we need more “right-wingers”,like myself, to enter education and help force the change.
“Parents must help effect change in the system by refusing to send their children to these broken institutions.”
That doesn’t work; here in the NYC metro area “parents” went a step further and stopped breeding - and our government simply imported student bodies from abroad.
After the whole Elian Gonzalez thing, why do you think our government is allowing “unaccompanied minors” across the border? Because the public school teachers’ unions need clients, and everyone who makes a living clothing/housing/feeding people needs those clients as well...
