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"

“Workplace freedom is completely different from Senate Bill 5, though We Are Ohio is desperate to associate the two in Ohioans’ minds after spending $40 million to defeat Senate Bill 5. Senate Bill 5 included hundreds of pages of reforms to public union law, whereas the Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment is a straightforward proposal that fits easily on two pages.”

Munster’s “we wont worry” sends him in a cut & paste flurry of name-calling, insults, and wild claims.

Hurry “pile on” this up before someone see it.

Munster falsely claims- “Gotta get those petitions filled, doesn’t look like that will happen so we wont worry about” . . .The Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment.

Munster had the last word but he could not last one hour without “piling on” two more of his cut & paste immature rants of name-calling, insults, and wild claims . . . so do not let him fool you, Munster is very worried about “The Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment”!

BTW: Munster is a retired dues exempt USW member and he is married to a Public School teacher of 28+ years.

The Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment will eradicate these two Big Labor’s Special Privileges for Ohio Education Association (OHEA) Union Bosses.

Privilege #3: Power to force employees to accept unwanted union representation.

Privilege #4: Power to collect forced union dues.

"we are ohio".co m Deny , deflect, mis-lead and lie ! The republican mantra ! You see whenever wrongriki cant come up with a valid arguement this is what we all have to endure ! Doesnt change the facts though , whenever a person goes to work they make a CHOICE either to work at a union shop or they CHOOSE to work at a non-union shop ! Either way they CHOOSE ! And since these rabid republicans say its all about CHOICE then they must be and are LYING ! "we are ohio".co m
