A poll by Rasmussen Reports shows that 64 percent of Americans strongly believe that most high school graduates lack the skills need for college or a job.
Just 21 percent think that the graduates have the skills while 16 percent aren’t sure.
Rasmussen notes that most Americans also believe that students who are home-schooled learn more than those in the public schools.
So why do we spend more per child on education than everyone else but have schools that are objectively a failure? If you score a 21 on your test your are going to get an “F” after all. At least traditionally. Who knows now? One suspects the catered-lunch-loving, SUV driving administrators and educrat establishment will figure out a way to get you a diploma just to keep the milk flowing to them.
Why do we keep voting for politicians — especially in Pennsylvania — who ignore the wishes of their constituents but not those of educrat lobbyists by bending over backward to protect the bad teachers while refusing to reward the good ones?
Don’t ever underestimate the degree of legal corruption in this nation. One has come to suspect that most people who enter “public service” are doing it solely to increase their own wealth and power at the expense of those who want to live in peace and brotherhood with their neighbors.
Why do Pennsylvania legislators get a base salary of $80,000 plus per diems, health insurance and a real sweet retirement plan?
