Something is very wrong with this picture. Don’t kid yourself lobbyists run this country not politicians and the teachers must be paying an awful lot of good lobbyists in this state to continue to get away with not being accountable for their students level of learning. I am a trainer at my job and if my trainees were all unable to perform the tasks I trained them for you can bet the bosses would be looking to me to see what in the process is failing. Not so in education here in MA. Chater Schools, agree with them or not, the reason they exists is because concerned parents can not depend on public schools in their communites to give their children a good education. Our children are our most valuable assets, not green power or cleaner water. The future of the human race depends on what our children can do, and what our children’s children do and if they are not well educated in the basics then we can not hold out much hope for a good future. Like my dad always said, you put garbage in, you will get garbage out.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304972064730428985noreply@blogger.com
