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" ... Or is it "all of the above"

“Apparently the Ohio AFL-CIO believes its members are too ignorant to realize the union position on workplace freedom is that workers must be forced to pay unions for their own good.”

Look ignorant one , haven't you ever heard of Taft-Hartly ? One has to wonder , does wrongriki ever look at anything that isn't a biased republican crap factory ? Talk about brainwashed and indoctrinated !!! The truth doesnt sit well with "people" who are used to telling half-truths and out right lies ! And the truth is a person either CHOOSES to go to work at A: a union shop or B: CHOOSES to go to work at a non-union shop ! Either way a person gets to choose and since thats the whole point of you "peoples" arguement it lets all the air out of your balloon now dont it ! We are Ohio.co m

NEA Union bosses, their family members, and their toadies are now vehemently fighting against Right-To-Work legislation in order to deny the workers the power and freedom to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment.

“Recently, teachers in the Roscommon school district jettisoned the MEA in favor of an independent union, which costs them less in annual dues and provides better service.”

Updated: Right-to-work legislation put down hard, CONCORD— For the third time in three years, right-to-work legislation was defeated, this time when the House voted 212-141 Wednesday, killing the bill.

****

After two years of heated and bitter battles when former House Speaker William O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, made right-to-work one of his priorities, lawmakers this year spent about 45 minutes debating House Bill 323, which would prohibit employers and labor organizations from including fees for non-union members in collective bargaining agreements. ***** Opponents said HB 322 is an attack on organized labor that will drive down wages and destroy middle class families in a race to the bottom.

Just what does that have to do here?

wrongriki is the type who would do all the lying and misleading about something it absolutely has no reference about . Utterly ironic of a “FREE-RIDER” who relies on welfare and foodstamps!

No retiree is required to pay dues after retiring !
