The public schools are damaged - bloated budgets, underpaid stafffing, lack of resources, overcrowding, and dangerous for safety.
Public school is a waste of time. A child is gonna sit through 8 hours a day and get MAYBE 2 1/2 hours of actual educational time.
Puffy. You're young. Aside from the fact that you're intelligent, well-rounded (no, not that way!), a fine mother and guardian, don't you see that you're a product of the public school system you so vehemently dislike?
Why do you think the public schools are damaged, have bloated budgets, underpaid staffing, lack of resources, overcrowded, and are dangerous? It's not the fault of the schools, it's the fault of the bureaucrats and political cronies appointed and elected
at the state level who are more concerned with the bottom line than an education. It's the fault of these same people taking the emphasis of education away from the child and into performance, performance, performance! It's the fault of these same people who promise lottery money and pull financial magic taking it right away, it's the fault of these same people who disrespect our teachers whose one goal is to teach!
Let me tell you this. I'm the product of what could easily be considered socialized education. The DOD school system. Government education at it's best. The finest teachers at a competitive salary, the latest educational materials at hand, and extracurricular activites bar none.
All of this in Germany!When we came to the States, to the southern educational system, I was in the last few months of my junior year. The level of education I had received was so far above what kids were getting down here, I had no courses to take! I enrolled in college-level courses which were still behind senior year courses in Germany.
Whose fault is that?
