I did finish high school, but not with that good a grades. I can't spell that good. If the school expects me to teach my kids they are at a disadvantage. Why should my kids have a disadvantage because I didn't have good grades and go to collage? It should be the school systems job to teach the kids and not send the work home for the parents to teach them.

Parents refusing to be involved in their kids education after school is another big one. "Do your homework or I'll beat your butt" isn't good enough involvement. Blaming everything on the teacher is another disturbingly common trend, and incentives based on test scores alone is another big detriment to the system as a whole. Sorry about getting touchy about it, but it has become a sensitive subject for me over the years, and now we have a candidate for Governor this fall who is so anti Public Education that I fear what will happen if she is elected. As for the mandatory thing... my take on it, as a childless man who never plans on having kids, is that the money I pay into public education is a community investment, helping to improve tomorrows engineers, doctors, researchers and programmers who will be tasked with improving and fixing the world after us. The better I can equip them, the better the world will be. Sorry for the thread hijacking, Kim, and best of luck to you on the coming year! -Kurt On Aug 21, 2010 8:32 PM, "Kyle Munz" <[email protected]> wrote: As a frequent Paddlee I would like to second that. -Kyle On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 7:30 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > The biggest problem with the s... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
