Re: Schools
If the schools take zero federal dollars the feds should have no say. If they take the funds they live with their deal.<br /><br />I think we would all be better off if we actually taught our students to read, assuming they are American citizens, do math, and history. A little less gym, sex ed, social activism, art, organized skip days, after hours sports, and political indoctrination. Teach them to read, write, do math, and have a historical understanding and they will perform greatness.<br /><br />rolmops<br /><br />At least in my eyes education has nothing to do with politics.It is about math,reading, writing, physics and biology and the like.Social studies should enable a kid to point out where this or that country is and what its capital is called.Economics is about economics.Biology would teach evolution and religion can discuss creation.<br />In order to ensure that all of this will happen at a reasonable level,every single school in this country should have to give the same written tests which would make up half the yearly test score.The other half would be made up from tests as chosen by the teachers.As far as education is concerned,that is what I want for my kids.<br /><br />I agree completely.
