If you think that these Education “problems” just exist in urban areas just try to do ANYTHING in Mid-West Rural Disticts. In most Mid-and-Smaller Mid-West disticts the Schools are the Largest Employer in the area.
It's easy. The only thing this system has that keeps it going is the power to confer its bogus credentials, yet they don't even guarantee the product!
It's high time to dump the entire fraudulent 19th Century educational paradigm. If a private company set up in strip malls offering testing and credentialing services to all comers, together with an insured guarantee that anybody who could pass that test could perform specified tasks competently, that would end the education system as we know it. Any student, anywhere, with the drive and determination to learn could then blow off the entire education establishment as we know it. Parents would no longer be forced to cough up a fortune in post tax savings, or worse, to refinance their homes just to pay a claque of incompetent leftists to brainwash their precious children with trash while abetting self-destructive behavior.
The system has failed, as planned. Let it go.
To fix:
1) NO education degrees. If you want a math teacher, get one with a degree in math. If you want a history teacher, get one a degree in history. If you want a stupid teacher, get one with a degree in sociology or education.
2) Vouchers, vouchers, vouchers. One exception. NO VOUCNERS TO GO TO A MUSLIM SCHOOL. After all, we don’t want to out-stupid our existing school stupidity.
3) No stinkin’ unions. EVAH! Send their sorry socialist butts to Mexico...along with the millions of illegal students we’re being forced to support.
How To Help Destroy Teachers’ Unions (Vanity)

Here’s one way to help destroy Teachers’ Unions:
1) Start a YouTube Channel: “Worst Teacher in America.”
2) Let kids post surreptitious videos of their teacher’s horrible skills.
3) Let people vote on “Worst Teacher.”
4) Track “Worst Teacher” listings by State, District, and School.
5) After a year of postings and voting, award the “Worst Teacher in America” a full retirement from the Rose and Milton Friedman Foundation if they agree to never enter a school again.
Maybe we can shame bad teachers out of the profession.
I’ve pinged Breitbart, since those guys have done well with ACORN, Planned Parenthood, etc. I’ll ping the Friedman Foundation next.
Is anyone else out there technically competent to get this ball rolling, even without the retirement plan? We could have a cabal of FReepers manage the YouTube channel.
What say you, brothers and sisters? Can we do some damage?

Just put my name on the ballot to run for a school board position. Not sure what I can do but I am sick of talking about it and am ready to take action.
“The responsibility lies in the hands of the education establishment, their union cronies, and, yes, the teachers who vote for and accept these unions and their leaders. “
Oooooo, naughty boy. That was a NO-NO. NEVER blame teachers for ANYTHING. ALWAYS blame the parents. Yea, it’s all the parents’ fault - at least according to one clown on this site.
Wrong: the responsibility is with every citizen who supports single payer education; every citizen who is addicted to OTHER PEOPLES MONEY when funding the education of their children.
For education to improve in this country, there are two requirement.
1. Parents must pay directly for their child's education.
2. Fathers must raise their children.
The rest is just treating the symptoms.
I’m terribly sorry for my grammar and spelling errors the other night. 12:30 A.M. and sleeping pills are not a great mix with the internet. Still, I’m lucky it was Free Republic and not my district e-mail.
That being said, some people can’t help but find any fault, with any teacher, at any time. It’s like they can finally get the revenge they have fantasized about for years. Hope it helped.
