Bored because they can not use what they learn. Writing papers for nothing but a grade is not inspiring -reading books they have no interest in is dull, learning math they can only apply in theroy is pointless.

There is nothing in the school system that can provide a hands on approach to learning or respond to a kid as an individual so why the surprise when the kids and schools fail?

Don’t be surprised when a lot of kids get out of school and educate themselves though. Just because the schools failed, doesn’t mean the kids won’t teach themselves at the first opprotunity they can get. I did.

How do the students sue those responsible?

Do you think they will be able to meet the qualifications specified below?

http://www.edrivera.com/?p=1193

If a prospective federal juror is unable to read and understand this sentence: “Sections 81 – 131 of this chapter show the territorial composition of districts and divisions by counties as of January 1, 1945,” then that juror “is unable to read, write, and understand the English language with a degree of proficiency sufficient to fill out satisfactorily the juror qualification form,” and is disqualified.

Every person involved in any matter involving federal grand and petit jurors must at a minimum be able to read and understand this sentence: “Sections 81 – 131 of this chapter show the territorial composition of districts and divisions by counties as of January 1, 1945.”

Jon when I copied and pasted the blog, the nomorefakenews hyper link was allowed. although in the past I have tried to just link it on its own and not as part of your blog and it wouldn’t. As a matter of fact I tried both methods, nomorefakenews and your blog and neither worked. I wrote a complaint to FB. Although I hate using this word “whatever” – it’s appropriate because pasting your column was a workaround. I see someone else here did the same thing.

I got out just in time. I liked teaching English and special ed., but the interference from bureaucrats and administrators at all levels up to the federal was becoming overbearing. Teaching to “standards”, which mandate every fact taught, robs the teachers of flexibility and creativity. Of course, students must be taught basic skills but they must also be taught how to think. Many of you are right regarding parents. If they aren’t involved or aren’t there, discipline and self-respect are often missing. Social engineering and teaching to tests won’t educate our youth.
