There’s no fixing public schools. The teachers union will make sure of that.
Good luck doing anything to change the thinking of public schools! At least up here - union controlled indoctrination centers. When Fauxcahontas says parents should help their local school, she means go do a bunch of fundraising, maybe sit and read to some kids because there are so many illiterates. Help your local school just means volunteer your time to be at their disposal.
Warren put on her Plains Indian feathers and did a dance to bring better education to the public schools.
Then it started raining hard for three days.
“Darn those YouTube videos. So hard to memorize.”
Public schools have only limited accountability. And thanks to Libtard voters here in Fairfax County, VA, we have a school board populated with maniacs.
There is NO FIX for public schools. They are all top-heavy with zero value add administrators. The teachers cannot do their jobs with all the burden and requirements of the admins. There is zero discipline. Obama rules reward those kids who disrupt the classes and act out. Kids have zero penalty for missing exams and not doing homework — they are given every chance to do it over again. Schools follow every fashionable fad that comes down the pike, yet performance declines every time a new fad is tried. The public school system is a shambles.
It’s just ridiculous to think this archaic system can be repaired. The only way it can be fixed is to let parents take their kids out and send them somewhere else.
She's actually not wrong about this: our school has parent volunteers, mostly housewives, who come in and volunteer sometimes, in exchange for literacy classes (they're mostly Hispanic.) Parent involvement IS the key to improving children's behavior and academic success. I've seen it every year for 15 years: kids with parents who parent do fine in school. Kids whose parents don't particularly care do not.
The Democrats can do what’s best for inner city blacks in crap schools, or they can do what’s best for the teacher’s unions.
And someone should point out to the 34% of blacks who approve of DJT’s performance as President which of those two options the Democrats always come down on.
Fix your Public School or Support the Teachers Union, your choice, you can’t have both
Public schools are no longer for the purpose of educating children. They’re indoctrination centers intended to instill them with socialist values and leftist ideologies.
She is pathetic. Note the basic assumption that everyone is exactly the same when the assumption should be exactly the opposite.
Everyone go volunteer? To the poorest parents in the most poor places you are saying this? People who are least likely to have either useful skills or any culture of motivation. When there is an answer to the problem available now; today? But you can help fix things over the next 10 years and too bad for your kid though. Go away Karen!
The Department Of Education is solely what broke schools.
Before that came along the school system I grew up in rejected whole word in favor of phonics and new math in favor of old fashioned brute learning of arithmetic.
How about: eliminate teachers unions, roll back federal regulations related to education back to 1965, and ban lawsuits against public school employees except related to criminal activities.
Get the FedMob completely out of public schools and it would be significantly easier for parents to have a say in them, Grey Beaver.
Yeah right. The last thing the public schools want are parents getting too involved.
Warren: If you pay the same ineffective person more, they will do a great job. What planet is she from?
To paraphrase Obama: If you HATE your public school, you Will keep your PUBLIC SCHOOL! ARTH.
She doesn’t want to fix anything she simply wants to enforce an absolute state monopoly on education and force the victims to pay for it
She is a hard core socialist/tyrant and has no business in a free country being in a position of power. The only public job she’s even vaguely qualified for is mopping the floors in government buildings. I have never really wished politicians would drop dead before, but now there isn’t a single Democrat I’d urinate on if they were on fire.
There is no fixing the public school system without dissolving the unions.
so Warren cares more about teacher’s unions than your children
