| Latest Post: Started By: Rank: Category A new documentary film, "Looking for Superman" suggests that American education is severly flawed. Is this view justified?As a former history teacher, I believe that the majority of today's public issues are rooted in the quality - or lack thereof - of American education. Never in my own memory have I noticed so many students (and adults) who are so uninformed about even the most basic facts of history, civics, geography ... Recent studies suggest that U.S. schools rank well below other nations in the disciplines of math and science ... "Waiting for Superman" (which needs to be shown locally) says that the "blame" or "responsibility" for this sad state of affairs rests upon several factors - i.e. the distractions of TV and computer games; teachers' unions that support "tenure" for some incompetent teachers; uncaring parents; "pressure groups" that demonize public education to promote private, sectarian schools; politicians who burden schools with "unfunded mandates" like "No Child Left Behind" ...

"Absurd Ohio Education Association (OEA) talking points show the union’s desperation to obscure the truth about workplace freedom, which would allow Ohio teachers to opt out of paying the dues that make OEA bosses wealthy and powerful."

Posted 128 days ago. luvthesouthmunster, i think you are mistaken in your critique of wikipedia. take a moment to research the wide variety of editors that are associated with the site. in addition, would you not want as many eyes on a subject as possible for verification and to call into question any mis-representations? you could not do that with the printed encyclopedia, which used to be the standard during our early years.
