school's are not near as important as parents...imho
schools = 20%
parents = 80%

So how do you figure that this is a case of plagiarism?

It is nearly always a mistake to assume anything.


Correct .... and it is also a mistake to plagarise.
Your essay bears a remarkable resemblance to the article that appears on

We're to presume that JL is far less convincing than Neal.

Reading your story only emphasizes how tragic the educational blunders of
G.W.Bush truly are. In America's vocational high schools, students much like
you were, kids who've made a career out of daydreaming instead of
participating in the classroom activities, are given a second chance to
learn in a way that is not at the bottom of Bloom's Taxonomy (rote).
Vocational teachers look beyond the corruption of a public school system
that would use it's technical annex as a dumping ground for the learning
disabled, the trouble makers, and in general, young malcontents.
We take what they consider to be trash, and we re-awaken them, challenge
them, polish them into productive, self-respecting gems. For many of our
students, the vo-tech allows them to get a high school diploma AND real
skills they can use. Our kids show their genius every day.
Consider one welding student I know. For his senior project he re-created a
few blocks of Manhattan around ground-zero. He fabricated all the buildings
using stainless steel, except for the twin towers, which he made using mild
steel. The entire piece sits under a spotlight in the school's front-yard.
As we watch the towers rust and disintegrate, we are reminded daily of the
tragedy of 911. People pull into our parking lot and stare contemplatively
at the project. It makes a person think. This kid took what he learned about
metals and welding techniques, and integrated that with what he felt in his
heart. The result is magnificent and deep. And to think, this kid wanted to
quit school because people like our president told him he was a failure
because he couldn't write a flowery essay to describe his ideas!
Thanks to the Bush's standardized testing policies, traditional high schools
are sending swarms of kids who perform poorly on these written tests to the
full curriculum vo-techs, so their poor test scores can cause the vo-techs
to get Bush's public spanking instead of the sending school. These tests
don't acknowledge the genius of the kid who is staring out the window and
germinating the seeds of a success that is not based on pedantic learning.
We have PhDs, engineers, nurses, and professionals from many walks of life
on staff, guiding these students and giving them new motivation to learn
fundamentals (show them why they need to know math and science). When kids
find a reason for abstract thinking, they work harder to learn those skills
as well.
And these are the schools that Bush wants to close. He calls our kids "shoe
makers" I believe. He is a fool! He has no clue what level of technology our
kids are achieving. From bio-technology to CNC programming, from masonry to
hvac to roofing, from engineering to advertising, our kids are blossoming
into productive citizenship! What they're not doing is repairing shoes, what
they are doing is building smart robots, producing detailed architectural
drawings, and programming emission systems to improve air quality and gas
mileage.
Go ahead Bush, close the schools that are helping our challenging but
nonetheless brilliant kids. Send the money to Iraq so they can have the
things you want to deny American kids!
The only thing that scares me more than this jerk-off's ideas about schools
is the fact that he now wants to apply the same "privatization" mentality to
social security. That's really what this is all about isn't it? Privatize
everything so business in America can do what it will with and to the
American people. Nothing personal, it's just business. That's why it's
important that Bush cause the collapse of public schools and then blame them
for it. If it all goes well, each family can find a way to pay for the
education of their kids. If they can't afford it, screw 'em. It's important
that social security be deemed a failure too; find a way to retire without
it all you civil servants!
In the end, the only thing Bush won't privatize will be the IRS.
Scout. Phew!

First-We must have a dream that motivates us. No one has ever achieved
anything without a dream attached to a burning desire.

Second-We must learn how-to-learn. In school, we learn how to memorize or
be taught. Learning how to learn frees our dependency on others for
knowledge.

Third-We must learn from failure and learn how to bounce back from
failure. No one ever succeed without failure. In the classroom, failure is
a
no-no.

So it boils down to needing more schools for kids who will end up
being drywallers, gardeners, and burger flippers. At least we keep
them away from the real students.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

If Bush gets his way, yes.
