Good luck with that.

Thanks. Good luck with your scientological study technology. I hope nobody gets left behind when the DC-10's come to take us all away to a better place.

Yeah, ok, whatever the hell you are talking about...

SW, what education do you have? Are you a teacher by chance? If not, what is your profession?
When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

I teach Tae Kwon Do. But in my off-time, I stuff envelopes and make a great living from home. Won't you join my envelope stuffing enterprise? You'll make a fortune!

So I guess it's safe to say you aren't very educated and you have minimum, if any, job skills. I'm guessing you're unemployed at the moment.
You are a perfect guy to argue about education with an educated man who has actually taught for 15 years.

i'm definitely not well versed in all the ins and outs of this but it seems like a large part of the problem is that no one is allowed to say that little johhny just isn't smart enough to go to college.
not everyone is born with the same ability to be good at everything...not everyone is equal in thier aptitude for different things.
whatever happened to votech? when I was in HS there were guys that were building houses...every year the vocational classes built a house and sold it. I think there was a mechanics class too.
w/o grammer you lose logical sentence structure...any particular word at a certain place in a sentence means a specific thing. we all get lazy in talking and writing at times but when communication really matters you have to have a set of rules to fall back on so that you know wtf each other is saying
"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

There are no easy or clear cut solutions to the educational problem, never have been, never will be.
Fact is, I don't think that there is even a defined goal or even a defined problem.

Would you want a president with virtually no experience to lead your country?
Abraham Lincoln only had one term as a United States senator before becoming president.

Most recent Presidents have been Governors rather than US Senators.

This is a good topic. I'm all about standards long as it doesn't become an industry. Certification and periodic testing seems to make sense in any technical trade. Education is an ongoing thing.
Choices of reading material has been controversial in schools as long as I can remember. Some of the books banned when I was a child are now allowed or required reading. Conversely some of the required reading when I was in shool is now banned in a lot of school systems.
I think children mostly need the fundamentals of reading and writing coherently in a language and to understand simple mathematics, at least arithmatic and geometry as well as simple chemistry and biology. Teaching a child how to learn seems more important to me than what to learn in the long run.

I completely agree about vo-tech programs. Nowadays it seems everybody MUST go to college, while for some people learning vo-tech skills is better suited for them, thus making them more productive members of our workforce.
Our country needs automechanics, butchers, welders, etc., and people could be coming out of vo-tech programs ready to start earning a living in these fields, rather than having them coast through university life.
Bless you
