The Children Are Our Future - Big Deal
First the House, then the Senate, the White House, (then the Senate again - thank you Jim Jeffords. The libs have lost and will continue to if they keep going the way they are, but after decades of domination of the legislature, and periodic control of the White House, they have entrenched themselves in many facets of our society, the most topical lately is the judiciary, the Shiavo case, and inumerable case of judicial legislation, but that is for another day.
The education system is another system infiltrated and control by the left is education. Well known and documented, but it just keeps getting wierder.
Two stories recently caught my attention, first, some schools in Florida have changed from letter grades to number grades. The excuse given is to better track at what level the student is performing at, ridiculous! Isn't it just logical that by reducing the rating levels from 5 (A, B, C, D & F) to 3 (1, 2 & 3) you would reduce the ability to accurately asess the level at shich a student is achieving? All that is accomplished with this is to allow the system to further blur the line between success and failure and the ability of the education system and parents to focus the attention for those students not performing at the desired level, and hopefully assist the student in those areas in which they are lacking.
Second, Al Roker a great scientist? Native American lore explaning the change of seasons? What have we come to? We have reduced our classrooms to little liberal petrie dishes to test out leftist theories. The problem with that is that since the results don't reflect favorably on the system, we change the grading system in order to make it virtually impossible to accurately rate the students and the success of these programs (see above).
More fuel efficient cars, alternative fuels, etc. By taking the science out of science class, doesn't that make the likelihood of future discoveries and advances to make our lives better and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels (as an example) reduce the qualified pool of scientists to make those discoveries? Why cut off our noses despite our face?
Just a thought.
