Liberal colleges turning out a new breed of educators. The threat of school shootings. Teachers having sex with students and an overall distrust of public education thanks to the media has caused the exodus of students from schools.

Families who can afford to send their children to parochial or private schools are doing so these days. Teachers are retiring early and even if new hires are available, they're not of the same mentality.

The long range is that public schools will be filled with poor kids from poor families and special needs children who, through no fault of their own, consume more resources than the regular ed counterparts. Now add in the bullying, fighting, gang mentality and you can see why the headline reads as it does.

Promises Made, Promises Kept!
Republicans stood, the liberal left wept.

There’s no system that has been or will be perfect.

I was educated in the district and couldn’t begin to tell you the political identity of any teacher in any subject in any year that I went to school.

That said, I’ll roll the dice on a licensed educator over Jed or Jeanette who studied at the University of YouTube.

<16% of GC residents have a bachelors or better.

Not that a 4-year degree either signifies or discredits intelligence, but going through the act galvanizes the person in some way when “life hacks” and videos don’t bridge the gap in understanding, they might have another method up their sleeve.

There are many more options than YouTube. Public education has been failing for a long time and the more money thrown at it, the worse it gets. Pull the plug. Let the patient die.

That’s fine - just understand that most folks are closer to the Manson family than the Ingalls family.

Let the losers fail and the winner win.

Might be at cross purposes with GW Bush’s no child left behind policy.

This might result in pearl-clutching or even the case of the Vapors, but the absentee parents that hand their toddler a tablet and then their 11 year old their first cell phone are doing more damage than Carlin’s 7 dirty words found in a library book.

I’d wager you can walk into any library and not find a combined 5 kids there of their own volition.

The internet and social media are a bigger threat than reading no-no words.
