The Department of Education and the Teacher's Unions.
Next question.
Five states do not allow teacher unions. Those states have the lowest test scores in the nation. Might be easy to check the condition of education before and after the Department of education was established. Wonder if it's better or worse?
I think you are referring to an article which has already been debunked. Here is a link which you might find useful:
Theres been a factoid making the rounds during the Wisconsin union standoff that you may have seen. Im not sure what the ultimate source of the factoid is, but heres the meat of it as reiterated by a blogger for The Economist [what follows is the alleged comparisons of union versus non-union states]
(Explanatory insertion my own).
....the factoid itself is highly dubious.*Again, it is hard to find the original source for this, but I looked up*2009 ACT and SAT state rankings, and at the very least it seems*highly unlikely*that Virginia ranks 44th out of all states. According to the ACT ranking, for instance, Virginia*places 22nd, and on the SAT (assuming the linked to list is accurate Im doing this fast), it ranked 33rd. Its hard to see how those would be combined for a 44th place overall finish

It all comes back to the parents.
It all comes back to the parents.
parents are 100% irrelevent since we cant kill replace or change them. We're talking about the schools.
Liberals love to blame parents so they can justify the status quo that makes our kids the dumbest in the civilized world.
Why not make liberals illegal??
Parents are why schools and students succeed well, in part, or not at all.
A parent who will not be part of the child's education is a parent in failure.
Edward, you cannot substitute the teacher/school for parent/family. That is the ultra statism that has been suggested on the board. It will require an intrusive educational system that sidesteps parents.

as I said, watch "Waiting for Superman", to see what happens when you put Republican vouchers in the hands of ghetto parents, before you dismiss parents.

From the Texas GOP platform documentKnowledge-Based Education We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the students fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.

Vouchers is the approach of the meatheads and corporatists, period.
Parents, period, is the answer.
You are a right wing progressive statist, admit it.
Then there is no need for vouchers because parents won't use them the way you want.
Give the poor vouchers and they will find some way to sell them.
But if the parents are incompetent as you have said, Edward, it does not matter if parents have vouchers for kids or not. They will be misused.
