All law makers should live the law they are making
So I have been thinking lately about the way laws are made. Some one who doesn’t like something comes up with and idea of how to ban it or regulate it and then gets congress to read (and that is the important word hear read) a bunch of documents with bullshit statistics and these know it alls in Washington decide what is best for the country. Fine, I understand that certain things need to be done that way but there are a lot of things like the no child left behind bill that don’t work, and anybody that says it does has never taught at a school where passing a kid in 8th grade who cant read at a 4th grade level is the norm!
Children getting on grade level is not the sole responsibility of the school and taking the child to another school doesn’t work, so if the kids aren’t keeping up the government takes funds away from the school, so the schools send the kids through so they dont lose money. This doesn’t mean the kids are actually learning at the grade level they are in, but that the school teachers are told to pass the kids to keep the government from taking money from the school. Don’t let the g-man fool you into thinking these statistics that they put out are accurate. Margret Spellings needs to go into those schools and actually try to teach these kids on their “grade level” and see just how well her program is working! i say this because my mom teaches in a school that does exactly what i have said, and it makes her life hell trying to explain to a 15yr old why there and their are 2 different words with 2 different meanings. its stupid.
The children are the future of this country, I sure would like it if they could read! Thanks bush you have once again done a great disservice to our nation!
or maybe they will be smart enough to do this!
