Come to a Saints game we’ll talk more…

If you read my post you could note that no child would be left behind because of their parents financial stupidity. Parents who couldn’t afford it would get loans to be paid based on ability to pay. If they didn’t pay the government (we the people) would still be on the hook. You could argue that rich people would get better schools but that’s already the case. I think it’s funny how everybody thinks they have a right to this or that. If you don’t like something the government isn’t doing it’s job. Why don’t you just have a government agent make sure you’re brushing properly at night, or stand over your shoulder to make sure you recycle your garbage. I was picked on daily in elementary school because I had long hair. In high school I was picked on by jocks because I was a dirty headbanger. Big deal who cares! Ultimately it’s up to parents to stop bullying and explain it’s not right. Take some darned responsibility. If your kid is gay, minority, or unique in any way, you must explain to them that they will be made fun of by people that are ignorant and don’t understand. It’s part of life. How do you think a person would respond to criticism in the workplace if they’ve lived in a padded eggshell their whole life? I’ve seen it, adults breaking down and crying at work, pathetic. It’s a free country, if somebody doesn’t like something they can say what they want, even mean things. You can try all you want to make the government legislate human behavior, it won’t work (in the long run) and it shouldn’t either. When you buy a car you do research, when you buy a house you inspect and research the neighborhood, when you buy a new computer, TV, or fridge, you research and make comparisons, so why should we accept that schools should be any different, isn’t your kids education more important than anything else? Should it not be your duty to inspect, compare, and choose schools? I think it’s hilarious that many parents think, well I live in this neighborhood, my kid has to go to this school, has to learn what the government thinks is best. I’m just going to trust some people I’ve never or barely met to teach my kids values, facts, and shape their opinions, because they know better than me. Wake up America. Public schools are failing. The reason is lack of imagination on our part and depending on the government to make choices for us.
