Over educated idiots!!!School vouchers is the only fix..shove your study and useless PHD
I wonder how many years he taught in a public school.... I am guessing that is zero
Public Schools are Indoctrination Centers; nothing more. NO education. period. As long as they insist on using Common Core; it will NEVER be a great place to Learn what's needed. Indoctrination is real and a Perfect example is the snowflakes who are horrified, scared, crying and protesting by the thousands over so called Climate Change...good grief; my climate changes daily. Being Indoctrinated just like the NAZI's. We are rated lower than some 3rd World countries. Why parents continue to allow their children to even 'enter' a public school is beyond me. BUT it's their choice; POOR choice, but their choice. SAD!
9:14 the apple don't fall far from the tree! the parents are just as fat lazy and stupid as their parents!
The liberal left has taken over our schools...giving them even more money, would reward them for failure and bring less accountability to the system.
Implementing a voucher system would force accountability while reducing costs.
9:14 - feel better now after your rant? It might be time for your nap now.
Oh goody! Our superiors will bring us a dog and pony show to gaslight us human capital units. Long live the stakeholders!
