Are government teachers promoting an anti-Christian tone within our public education system?

At $12,000 per student, multiplied by say 30 students per class, that adds up to $360,000 per classroom per year. Out of that total amount the teacher gets perhaps $50,000 (or less). Where does the rest of the money go?

$310,000 goes to "administration", which is another way of saying to the unions. THAT screwed up ratio is what is wrong with the education system today, not the ratio of students to teachers and THAT is why it will never change. Because there is just too much money and power involved in keeping the status quo.

Now add Arnie Duncan to the mix. He is the same guy responsible for screwing up the Chicago public school system, so of course his buddy Obama puts him in charge of ALL the schools in the nation. And you seen the result.

Nothing will change until the money hungry unions, such as the NEA, are completely divorced from the educational process. Their agenda is NOT education but rather to simply ensure their own survival at any cost.

The problem with public education is pretty simple to find. We are still educating kids in the same model that we educated them in the 1950s, a one-size fits all educational factory. Teachers unions, standardized tests, and binding state standards all contribute to this problem.

The problem with this model is that it has not changed in the last sixty years even though we know a lot more about how people learn and the differences in learning styles. I also feel that we don't really know what our main objective of a primary and secondary education is in this country. Is the objective to provide people with the basic skills needed to be an educated citizen?

Is it to prepare people for education at the college level? Is it to give people the needed skills to be competitive in the 21st century global workforce?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
