Federal Funding and Federal Control ruined our schools. It is time to work towards privatization finaly.
Ummmm hello ????

There was ZERO federal curriculum or regulation of public schools UNTIL Bush imposed it with NCLB

Standardized tests are bullshit, the prove and teach nothing. No child left behind is designed to produce no brained zombies, and false results as teachers are forced to “teach to the test”

The 'trouble with public schools" ?

Most are run by slack jawed yokels on local school boards, headed by hicks who sell paint at the hardware store , and funded by the Polo shirt hushpuppy crowd who breed 5 kids, but balk every time a book needs to be replaced

What we need is a multi tier diploma system free of stigma, with variable curriculum tailored to a students needs and aptitudes, but a national uniform format

Kids in Mississippi don’t need to learn the same things as kids in NY city ?

Umm...yes they do
