And even though legislation of competition could possibly be sometimes hard for that individual, it's best for that race, since it ensures the survival with the fittest in each and every department.

Conservatives need to realize the threat to state sovereignty and local control in education are currently being undermined by this administration. GOP needs to address this federal overreach, but can’t seem to see “the forest (burning) for the trees” http://www.aei.org/article/carrots-sticks-and-the-bully-pulpit/ I’m an independent conservative teacher who is fine with ending tenure.

Read "The Well Trained Mind". Order the catalog from The Rainbow Resource Center (It's as thick as the old Sears catalogs and has anything your school might have) Sign up for The Homeschool Legal Defense Fund and feel the marvelous FREEDOM to learn in stress free, bully free, union teacher free, environment. I was forced to homeschool due the S***** attitude of Ladue Public Schools but I have never been so glad! They gave me a glimpse of the learning I enjoyed 30 years ago! Thank you Ladue ;) The solution to this mess is take PERSONAL RESPOSIBILITY to educate your own children and quit expecting the gov. to do the job as well as you could. Read “The Well Trained Mind”.

The parents who believe that ou should send the kid to school and they will learn.... Like it teaching is just putting a card in a electronic device.. The students who think homework is something you can do if you want to. The only way I see of changing this ... if you don't have a valid H.S. diploma and pass the GED Test as proof, then you are disqualified from from the benefits of society.

I can tell you that in my real estate work, I see it going on in Ritenour, Normandy, U City and Ferguson/Florissant school districts. St. Louis County north of Clayton and east of 270 has a slow growing cancer that is killing it. That cancer is long term school district decline. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/showmeinstitute/posts/10150550237963190" rel="nofollow">View the comment on Facebook here.</a> Robert Schneider had this to say on Facebook:

Anything else is an exercise in futility. Nowhere did I see parent accountability on your list. The parents are failing their children. I challenge you to spend a week in any inner city school and then come back. I bet you will rewrite your arguemnt. If you want to fix the schools, start by fixing the parents.

They are stupid; they are brought up in a culture that does not value education; they cause others to fail.
