We need some *serious* national leadership on this issue. I had hoped that your president would do more but so far I've been disappointed. |

A big part of the problem is the number of kids who do not have functioning families. A big part of the problem is teachers and districts that spend too much time preaching and not enough time teaching, expecting the families and kids to make up for it at home at night. It's not like it used to be, our names are not all Cleaver, and a lot of kids don't have a mom or dad at home at night to guide them. With the money and resources we give them, they could do a lot more. Say what... "we give them"?? You don't work or pay taxes... you "give them" nothing. What are mom and pop doing at night? Even if one works at night, the other should be home some of the time while the kids are home and awake, especially when the kids are in grammar school or middle school or junior high. I wonder what teachers could do "a lot more" of in times where classrooms are packed, resources are thin, and teachers have more classes each day than they did when I was in public school. Of course, if you are a kid and home with PsychoSnotty, what could you learn? Certainly not reading, writing, math or social skills. |

We had church-related schools when I was growing up, but they didn't receive direct public funding or vouchers. |

I think the increased homework load on kids in the grade school levels is a direct result of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) system that was introduced in 1993. It's still controversial because it evaluates school systems and the teachers as well as the academic achievement of the students and some people feel it puts unnecessary pressure on the kids at too early of an age. As for me, I don't really remember much of grammar school. My recollection of high school (back in the dark ages) is similar to Harry's .... about 2, sometimes even 3 hours a night, depending on the course load. |

They are failing from lack of parental committment to the educational process. When sports and student "self esteem" are a schools top priorities, the parents are inevitably to blame. A big part of the problem is the number of kids who do not have functioning families. A big part of the problem is teachers and districts that spend too much time preaching and not enough time teaching, expecting the families and kids to make up for it at home at night. It's not like it used to be, our names are not all Cleaver, and a lot of kids don't have a mom or dad at home at night to guide them. With the money and resources we give them, they could do a lot more. Homework is part of education. How many folks do you think graduate from a decent program in college without homework? And yes, parents should be making sure the work gets done. John H. In college no problem, and even in public schools..... .... thirty years ago... Families are not constructed to "do homework" anymore, it's just a fact of life. My mom realized that some 40 years ago and helped insititute unwritten policy that stands in my home town to this day and I rarely saw my girls come home with more than a half to one hour of work, and many times, none... At the same time, our town is a high rated system when it comes to diplomas... so, it can be done. At the same time they don't fool around with a lot of ****, everybody gets a voice, I will leave it at that. So, the policy of generous social promotions that got you a diploma is still in effect? At least I have a diploma... It's sitting right here in front of me on the wall. Did you ever earn one? Three, although I have no idea where my high school diploma is. My mother had it, but when she moved to Florida, I'm not sure what happened to it. I do have a bachelor of arts and master of arts degree. My wife has a bachelor of science, a master of science, and a Ph.D. Yes, and a Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat, pictures of owls, three doctorates, a fireboat welcome to NYC, cars, conquests, money.... We know you have it all but out of the two of us, I am the only one who can prove any of it.... The facts say you have failed at two businesses and gone bankrupt twice (that we know of). So either way, even if you do have a HS diploma, it has done you no more good than mine did me... Funny stuff from a moron. I agree, but it was even more funny when we read it all from you in your own words.. |
