LAUGHING AT AMERICA

It is an admirable quality when you can laugh at yourself. But it is not so nice when someone else laughs at you! Our national education system is looked down upon, if not actually laughed at, by our international audience. Ask any foreign exchange student what they think of our public schools and they will tell you that they are "very unimpressed"! They can see that American school students' maturity level has been retarded by their own school system. The exchange students will tell you that school here is a lesson in how NOT to learn. So they know that when they go back to their native country that none of the school work completed here will be counted for credit. Their math and science skills are more advanced. Their language skills(in their native tongue) are more advanced. Their maturity level is more advanced. If attending the entire 10th grade here they must attend the 10th grade again when they go home. Why do you think foreign students want to attend college here in the U.S.? Surely not because of our superior education! They already know our educational weakness before they come. So if their motive is not to infiltrate our country as an illegal alien, then they want to come for fun - the reputation of our party culture and excess is known far and wide. Another reason is the prestige of attending school in such a rich culture. If you want fun come to America. If you are serious about your education stay home!

TEACHER ACTIVITIES IN THE CLASSROOM

Behind closed doors! We allow our children to ride the bus to school with a complete stranger. Do you know what he/she does at night? Then behind closed doors at school another complete stranger begins the teaching (testing) process. Do you know what he/she does at night? This is what is really going on in classrooms around the country: Students being told to watch the hall for the principal so the teacher can make calls on the cell phone - teachers on the internet watching Mr. and Mrs. Santa making love with the large screen in full view of the students (4th grade) - teachers bragging about their sexual escapades and bar hopping stops the previous weekend to the students - teachers text messaging (who knows who) - teachers asking good students to give up their earned extra points (earned by turning extra work) to bad students so everyone can pass the course - teachers playing computer games while students copy board work (great critical thinking skill for the students)! Insolence, filth, demeaning, belittling, badgering, and desrespect (not just from the students but from the teachers) fill local public schools on a daily basis. Parents wake up! If Johnny is acting bad it isn't because he has a "made-up" disorder (i.e. ADHD), it's because he's being treated bad in what is supposed to be a safe-haven, Public School! We pay a lot of tax dollars to send our kids to school to be verbally abused if they sit crooked in their chair. Yet we keep sending Johnny back into a den of intellectual thieves and wolves -- those teachers and administrators whose job it is to dumb down anyone they can! Please, reply teachers, and tell me what percentage of teachers in your school really, truthfully, CARE about the children they teach!

THE JAWS OF U.S. PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Being born in the U.S.A. is wonderful. The first three years of life are pretty amazing. I think I like it here. My folks are really cool and let me do just about anything I want to learn and grow. I can walk now. I can talk pretty good. I have learned a lot of things all by myself. I can even go to the bathroom by myself! Fast forward four years: School sucks! I feel like I am in a prison behind locked bars 5 days a week. What happened to my life. This is not where I want to be. All I keep hearing is "sit still", "you'd better be quiet", "stop it"! Why are my parents doing this to me? Am I stupid? Did I do something really bad? Have I got some kind of disease? Why do I have to take this medicine everyday? The teacher hates me and still my parents make me come here. It's not fair. I hate it and everyone hates me. Listen! Will someone besides a child psychologist listen? This poor kid still has 10 more years of this hell to go through. Why do we allow this to happen to perfectly intelligent, healthy children? Why do we keep beating this dead horse called forced government schooling? As G.K. Chesterton said, "A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it".

PLEASE DON"T VACCINATE!

Why? Because of the ingredients in vaccines. Thimerosal(mercury based), Ethylene glycol (antifreeze), formaldehyde, aluminum, phenol, benzethonium chloride, amphotericin B, ammonium sulfate, rabbit brain, pig blood, monkey kidney, tri(n)butylphosphate, betapropiolactone, aluminum hydroxide. Vaccines have been linked to many unsavory symptoms not the least of which is the proliferation of learning disabilities. Do your own research and make your own decisions. Vaccines are only mandated for children not mandatory. There is a difference. Your children's future is a stake. Get informed! The doctor doesn't always know best!

ARE WE ALL ALIKE?

Alike yet different. We like different kinds of cars, houses, and politicians. We look different, like different colors, have different fingerprints and iris. But we are all human beings. Since we have so many different preferences as adults why is it that we throw every child into the same 13 year prison system that we went through? Why do we make them all learn the same subjects? Where did this facist system come from? It doesn't really matter where it came from - the larger question is, why do we allow this broken system to control our lives and our children's lives for so many hours of so many days of our lives? Does it really take that long to provide fodder for the economic status of our world? Intelligent beings have been consumed by ignorance and now will believe anything. I guess forced schooling has worked! We just keep on letting it happen. We stay hunkered down in the same little box. We don't need newer and better technology because, even with it, we are still living in the dark ages.

WARNING! WARNING!

First, say "NO" to TEENSCREEN!! It is unscientific. It is deceptively presented. It leads many teens right onto the psychiatrist's couch and into regular "therapy"! This should be proof enough that teen mental screening in schools can only make things worse. Be aware of these tests being masked as something else so you will sign the consent forms. Some schools don't even require parent consent! Second, ask the school administration what psychological testing is done each year! Some teachers give coupons, extra credit, or even money for signed consent forms. Because of this your teen may try to forge the consent form just to get the goodies. Lastly, check the text material in your teenager's books. Yes, it is a lot of work, but you would not even believe the psychological, mind controlling, babble in some text books! In elementary school it's bad. In High School, it's worse! In college, it's off the charts!

WARNING!!! Be A Real Parent and SAY "NO"!!!

Don't let your child be subjected to psychological or mental screening at school. Be aware! They might try to do it without your permission! Why? Because once they are "screened", "analysed",(usually by answering a list of senseless, unrelated questions made up by psychs), if any subjective markers are found, that information will be eletronically stored and will become a part of your child's permanent school and medical chip records! These labels and tags hang on for life and are the excuse for drugging and controlling your child. Believe me or not. Your child is worth doing a little of your own research! If you want a life changer try reading some of John Taylor Gatto's work!

WHO'S TO BLAME?

Why are we continuously fighting this albatros of Public Education? Who decided what school should be like? Who decided just what subjects should be learned? This is a language all its own. It is called feeding off of the government! We frown and say, " I want my fair share" ! Why don't we go back to parents doing what they are supposed to do - teach their own children? Who said college-degreed personnel are the only qualified teachers? Who said kids have to learn in the daytime while mom is at work? Who made Public School the world's largest babysitting service? The answer? Shrinks! All must have been devised on the psychiatrist's couch! Want to find the answers to problems with your local public schools? You need only look as far as your state and federal departments of education. They don't think about the real welfare of your children - they only sniff out how much more money they can get and how many more pencil pushing jobs they can manufacture out of your tax dollars! SAD is a correct description. Just check it out!Technorati Profile

UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL

UNIVERSAL Pre-School - the answer to all of American education problems - is here! Watch for new buildings to be built around existing kindergarten and elementary schools. This is the new government plan to include 0-4 year olds in their compulsory education program. Yes, they are even planning on baby beds - check out the Head Start centers! It won't be long now!With the new Democratic congress the teacher's unions will be jumping up and down, twisting arms, buying votes to ram this through in every state. The New Freedom Initiative is rolling on like a steam roller for mental health screening for every child and teacher in the system. In the interim, Big Government will be strong-arming the private sector Class "A" day care centers and forcing the use of their buildings to get things rolling! The day care owners will have to use the government's Quality Rating System in order to keep their doors open for business. They say it is all voluntary but don't fall for all the flowery language. Unless day care owners comply with the new "rules" their parents won't get a new and larger tax break for child care! This is already on the books and Louisiana is the first state to use the tax system to implement its program. Other states use the lottery, the school system, or sin taxes to fund the program. What the poor unsuspecting parents and day care owners don't realize is that they will be paying higher taxes so they can get the tax "breaks"! The programs cost millions! Then when the Public School System has all of its new buildings in place they will start using their own certified teachers to fill the day care positions and the day care owners will be left hanging out to dry. Private day care will be for the wealthy few if they are there at all!

And by the way, these new government rules include letting the children in day care pretty much do what they want with no consequences for bad behavior. Big Brother will be constantly watching. Parent's poor kids will be allowed to run wild during the day. Can you imagine how wound up they will be when mom picks them up after a hard day's work, takes them home and tries to discipline them? Oh, and don't let your child "act up" at school because s/he might receive a "day care" mental screening and a diagnosis of ADHD and a prescription for a Ritalin "patch"! Check out the insert on the side effects of this bomb for yourself. Don't settle for the mental health professional's words of encouragement. Remind me - what kind of government is this again?

PUBLIC SCHOOL

QUESTION #7: Do we pay the government(taxes) to be the parents of our children. Are we abdicating our God-given responsibility? If so, then they - the various government entities - don't make very good parents. Big Brother will not win any awards for parenthood! The first six questions show you why. Need more proof? ALL of public education, including the new Quality Rating System programs to launch public day care, are geared toward welfare children and those with learning disabilities. Why do you think so many children are so bored in school? All the teacher can do now is teach and practice (over and over) the LEAP or competency tests. If the kids don't score well, the schools will lose federal dollars and their schools can be taken over by the courts. Government rather than PARENT leadership is why our country is in such an educational fiasco! The boat is sinking and there is no fix for the current system. The Public School System is like a big PIG who is so overstuffed that its legs can no longer hold it up. It is crawling along at a pre-historic, archaic pace. Compulsory Public Education is the largest employer in the U.S. if you take into consideration all of its many arms. Can you imagine the jobs and the corporations(including the publishers of standardized tests) that would be "infected" if parents stood up and said, "NO MORE!" The U.S. has its own Weapons of Mass Destruction - they are called Compulsory Public Schools! A parents revolt might start the next depression, but at least we would have our kids back!
