CHANGING EDUCATION PARADIGMS--YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

An interesting look at our evolving educational system. If you have trouble understanding or following this lecture, don't feel bad. You're not stupid or anything like that. It just might mean you're a product of our public school system and you need a little more work in the critical areas. And probably some much needed exposure in the areas that seem to be missing in the current curriculum. Or, your Rx needs to be refilled. In the end, you'll want to pass this one on to friends, especially the ones with school-age kids.

GOVT JOB CREATION AND HOW YOUR KID GOT SO STUPID

Do you understand what just took place between Obama and General McChrystal? Do you have the slightest inkling as to what's happening to our nation politically, economically, culturally? Do you even care? If not, it might be because you were educated in the public school system. In fact, it could be said that much of what ails this once great nation is the result of the education our public school system has produced over the last four decades.

Big Government's Andrew J. Coulson takes a look at our education system, contrasting employment creation within the system and student test score performance over four decades. When it comes to student performance, you'll note the ROI is a fail. On the other hand, the NEA must be very pleased with the job they've done... for themselves. Coulson's presentation reminded me of a Churchill quote:

"However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results."

Coulson's article also reminded me of this short video.
