My wife taught school for 30 ½ years.<br />
They put kids in the classroom that sit in a wheel chair that can’t hold their head up.<br />
The challenged students make noises that disrupt the class. She got a five minute class about giving seizure medication to them or whatever else they need. If one of them passed away it would be her a$$.<br />
This is what our schools has turned into.<br />
Just like the schools throwing out phonics, then panicking when their test scores fell.<br />
It’s now experimental only.

Again, Bob, I think that if we are going to pay teachers more, they are going to have to be held accountable. I'd like to see internet cameras, focused on the teachers, in the classrooms. Right now all we have are standardized tests, and the schools spend so much time preparing the kids for them, that there is no time to learn anything real. Furthermore, kids have little recourse when they are accused of behaviors by their teachers. The teachers, as well as students need to be held accountable…

PA: we are inclined to agree with you; people are not interested in progress. They fear progress. They cling to their old ideas and ideals without so much as exploring the possibility that something else could be better. That's why I think the churches manage to thrive. They cater to the masses and nurture that fear.

Petroleum is a non-renewable resource that will dry up. So is coal and natural gas...alternative fuels need to be developed, and quickly. The disaster in the Gulf should be a wake up call that other forms of energy need to be developed before we ruin the rest of the planet in our quest for all things petroleum.<br />
As far as the schools are concerned....quit focusing on extra curricular activities so much, pay teachers a living wage......and God help us if Wall Street or bankers were put in charge…

Having spent most of my life in education, Darroll, I would have to disagree. We were moving along just fine until 1980 or so when the "business people" started telling us what to do and Republicans starting with Reagan began to tell everybody the system was failing. Remember the people who put men on the moon went to public schools. If you repeat anything often enough people will begin to believe it.
