Hi X,
Re: Public Schools and Education..
Based upon my experience with public school education beginning with my own, in a one room rural school in Washington. The problem has been consistently the same.. If the child doesn't learn, it is always the teachers and the school's fault..
I know because my Mother was a teacher in one of the last rural one-room schools that contained 10-20 student and taught all eight grades.. They consolidated and abandoned them in the mid-sixties... I graduated from there and went to town for High School, where I led in academics until my sister came in a year later.. But even then,, IF a child didn't learn at my Mom's school.. It was her fault..
So later on, my experience has been the same,, their is a GOOD EDUCATION offered and taught at the Public Schools. But if no one accept's the offer.. It goes to want. But even if goes to WANT, after it is all over, and the Child comes out clueless, It is not the Family's fault or the Child's fault,, It is, of course, the School's fault.. Ye ole "blame game".. no responsiblity, for anything, from education, to personal health to bad trades, (this being a financial forum and all, g) in our soft society..
So thanks for the time,
The Coug, thinking and experiencing, "you can lead a horse to water.."
and going on to say, it would be a crime against our society to tear down the public education system and replace it with a "for profit system" .. where the only ones that would profit would be the operators, and sure as hell.. would NOT be the majority of the children.. It's already there , if they want it.. |
