Only "stakeholders" are parents, students and taxpayers. Teachers are employees--a fact most of them forget. Consulting them is fine. Having them decide what should be done is a conflict of interest on their part.
I teach at the graduate level. Grading papers is excruciatingly painful because the writing is so poor. Students are unable to construct a complete sentence, put together a decent paragraph, use correct grammar and punctuation, or cite references properly.
My middle school daughter spends a full hour every day in a class called Guidance. It consists of such academically important topics as: career selection, health & fitness, conflict resolution, family life, etc. Imagine if that time was spent on grammar and writing.
We are presently suffering from the beginning ( 20 years ) of dumbing down America.Just imagine what America will be like in another 20 years , that's if we make it through the next 2-3 years.
Thomas Jefferson said : The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution. I am an enemy to all banks , discounting bills or notes for anything but coin. If the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency , first by inflation and then by deflation , the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
Also by Thomas Jefferson : " Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of oppressions , begun at a distinguished period and persued unalterably through every change of ministers ( administrations ) , too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to slavery."
Lincoln said : " The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy , more insolent than autocracy , more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces , as public enemies , all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes."
Hitler said : "Tell a lie long enough and people will believe it."
Hermann Goering said : "Why of course the people don't want war ... Voice or no voice , the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked , and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." Afghanistan/ Iraq , terrorism is the new "ISM" to be used to STEAL more of our FREEDOM ( if we allow it )
Stalin said : America will be taken down with a war of concessions. Not sure of exact quote.
Lenin said : "Give me four years to teach the children and I will have planted a seed that can't be uprooted."
James Paul Warburg ( son of Paul Moritz Warburg , chief architect of the federal reserve act ) , boasted confidently on February 17 , 1950 before the U S Senate : " We shall have World government whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World government will be achieved by conquest or consent."
Henry Kissinger said at a Bilderberger meeting : " Today Americans would be outraged if UN forces entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow , they will be grateful."
Norman Thomas , U S socialist party presidential candidate said : " The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But , under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program , until one day America will be a socialist nation , without knowing how it happened."
On February 1 , 1992 President George Herbert Walker Bush stated ; " My vision of a New World Order forsees a U N with a revitalized peacekeeping function. It is the sacred principles enshrined in the U N charter to which we henceforth pledge our allegiance."
Hillary said "It takes a village to raise a child."
Ten Planks of Communism
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.NATIONAL PARKS
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. FEDERAL RESERVE
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance. STATE WINS YOUR CHILDREN LOSE.
4. Confiscation of the property of all immigrants and rebels. REMEMBER WHO GETS TO DEFINE THIS.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the STATE , by means of a national bank with STATE capital and an exclusive monopoly. THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS A PRIVATELY OWNED CENTRAL BANK AND NOT PART OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the STATE. REMEMBER THAT STATE MEANS ELITES!
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the STATE , the bringing into cultivation of wastelands , and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies , especially for agriculture. I THINK THIS USED TO BE CALLED SLAVERY!
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries ; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of population over the country. THAT MEANS LIVE WHERE THEY TELL YOU OR STARVE!
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production. MEANING GOOD CORPORATE CITIZENS , LIKE THOMAS JEFFERSON TAKED ABOUT LONG AGO!!!!!!!!!!
