The more I pay heed to Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the left wing media the more I realize that they do not have the slightest clue as to what truth or facts are. I trust it is a preference they prepared to achieve their socialist agenda; devoid of doubt, I judge they would by no means let the truth or facts encumber their success.
What should panic us is that virtually half of the country is permitting it. The president advises us that the entire dilemma has recovered since he arrived in office… but allow me to illustrate the specifics.
Our debt has quadrupled, unemployment is preposterous, small businesses are apprehensive to employ, because they are uncertain how much they are going to be taxed and regulated. Americans are not undergoing the numerous quantity of vacations or going out to expend their capital on retail as a consequence of fear of what the economy is going to look like under this president. No one is buying because of fear; yet 42% of Americans think he is doing a high-quality job.
How in the heck does this happen?
Education!
- We do NOT instruct our American children the correct way to read;
- We do NOT instruct them to research out the truth;
- We DO train them to rely on others for information such as the mainstream media;
- We DO train them that they WILL have sex prior to becoming teenagers; so perform it safely;
- We DO tutor them to think about themselves and their urges first;
- We DO lecture them the safe way to do drugs;
- We do NOT edify the qualities of thinking for themselves or to think in the vein of an entrepreneur.
We have not dumb down Americans we have numbed them down. The majority of Americans trust what they hear, either because they are too lethargic or they have ceased caring. Why? Because education has persuaded our children and young adults that the crisis is too convoluted and compound to mend, therefore focus on yourself and disregard what is chiefly essentially.
The reality is all you require is to initiate the first phase. Simplify it one segment at a time. Education is an uncomplicated restoration. Immediately discontinue the discussion concerning removing bad teachers and institute policy to eliminate disruptive, disrespectful children. Place the spotlight on the drop-in rate and not the drop-out. Discontinue social lessons and revert to the essentials of reading, writing, math, true history, science and PE.
I know I have been unrelenting on this, and I will persist until Americans start to take notice. Nothing is more imperative than our youth.

Posted by Jim Blockey | April 12, 2011, 8:46 pmI think this is one of the most critical information for me. And i’m glad reading your write-up. But wanna remark on some general things, The internet site style is ideal, the articles is categorically great
Posted by Carroll Balko | April 13, 2011, 12:42 amWOW!!!!!! Here we go again. You lost me as soon as you started with the political rhetoric. I have worked for the local school system for over 20 years. My wife is an elementary school librarian and has worked as an educator for over 20 years.
It seems that people want to lay the blame for decades of ignorance at the feet of the first president of color. It’s always easy to blame the “BLACK MAN” for any thing that happens. Think back, I’m sure that some well documented cases will come to mind.
Why not mention “NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND” ? Oh, that would mean that there was a problem before President Obama took office. Let’s talk about repealing one of the most restrictive and just plain ignorant pieces of education legislation in the past century. Maybe then we could truly see a change in the way that our system works. But, as long as we hold the whole system hostage for a few, the majority will always suffer.
Posted by REMNANT | April 13, 2011, 9:07 amWhy is it that you people have to bring race into everything. “No Child Left Behind” is terrible legislation as is most any legislation brought about by people that are not actually in a classroom. I do not blame a “Black Man” for anything, I believe Obama is terrible for this country, but that has nothing to do with his race. So I will ask you to leave YOUR racism at home and YOUR racist comments to yourself.
Sometimes people just do not like what you are doing no matter what race or religion you are. Education is going the wrong way because we do not make the students accountable for their achievement and they know it… so what is their motivation.
Posted by Jim Blockey | April 13, 2011, 9:15 amWhat trash. You were a terrible instructor when you worked for CCSD and are nothing but a sheeple for the Republitards. Shame on you. If this is the kind of lying trash your “church” subscribes to. I am glad I am not a member. Lies, and more Republitard single DNA morons. You and your ilk disgust me.
Posted by TroutSlayer | April 13, 2011, 3:49 pmThank you… Coming from a Dumbacrat that is the highest form of praise. “Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness.” You have truly blessed me. And I still am an instructor for CCSD.
Posted by Jim Blockey | April 14, 2011, 7:41 amIt’s scary to think someone like you actually taught children. It just shows how people in power can be completely incompetent. I don’t even really need to say anything to point out the faults in your logic. You pretty much do it yourself. I mean, teaching our kids to safely use drugs? Yeah, the education system does that, totally. What the hell is wrong with you? You’re not righteous, you’re neurotic.
Posted by blamenstein | July 15, 2011, 2:28 pmThank you sir… it is people like you that encourages me to keep up what I am doing. You insult, name call and attempt to demean, but you say absolutely NOTHING. I am not sure what you comment ” I mean, teaching our kids to safely use drugs? Yeah, the education system does that, totally. What the hell is wrong with you?” is saying. Are you saying that I want to teach our kids to use drugs safely… because you are the neurotic one. Next time try to actually say something that makes sense without the insults… If you can.
