I had to go to my daughters school last night and one of her teachers had this written on the chalk board.

I wrote it down and thought I would share it here



Dont Mind Criticism

If it is sincere----Listen
If it is true----Learn From It
If its unfair----Ignore It
If its ignorance----Smile

This is exactly why we need to support and provide for our teachers. They have the most important job in the world - they teach our children, the people who will be running this country after us. But I have to admit, I must have been absent the day they taught smiling at ignorance. Ignorance is preventable and correctable, and just pisses me off.

Ignorance is reversible. Stupid goes to the bone.

unfortunately
the more support you give the teachers the more ignorance you get.

If you want to see an improvement in the minds of a young Americans, the first thing you have to teach them is how to eliminate the need for administrators.

The money we pay for public education is ridiculous. If you look into it you see that most of that dough goes to "administrators." The teacher's unions are a terrible scourge on the land.

In Atlanta - it costs 13 grand to 'educate' a child and with luck, they'll be able to read after twelve years. Maybe...

My Lutheran School does it for four grand. The place is incredible. I teach a history seminar there on occasion and I'm always amazed at how the principle - Mr. Schmiege, keeps this hord of kids in perfect order without being bossy or having a whip and a chair. They start foreign languages in second grade.

Added bonus - Mr. S is a musician and used to play in a Nightwish tribute band.

My point is that that how ever much money you throw at public education, it will still suck. It was never grand and with the creation of the Dept of Education in Wash DC it went down the shitter. Previously, there was redundancy. It it didn't work in Delaware, then try what works in Montana. Now it's all the same. Over priced, scant value.

I've got grandkids in public school, church school and home school. I don't think I have to spell out which ones are actually getting an education.
