| 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" ... Or is it "all of the above" Member CommentsMunster"right to work is wrong".co m Well for a welfare addicted republican parrot , regular people would think that you would be grateful for the rights and dignity afforded all workers by the efforts of unions and their members ! But your constanrt denial of FACTS comes as NO SURPRISE since you have never had a job much less a union job ! Most would think that you, being supported by the taxes of hard working people would at least acknowledge that unions have benefited all labor ! To be so unthankful is truly a republican trait !"we are ohio ".co m Posted 28 days ago.

Munster"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 Posted 28 days ago.

MunsterSpeaking of legitimacy , wrongriki is a welfare addicted non working putz that thinks its an expert on workers rights !

MunsterTo be so anti -freedom and anti-living wage is just nutty !For the life of me I cant fathom how the righties here can harbor such hate against a organization that has benefited almost all working americans ! Through the efforts of unions there are things like child labor laws, 40 hr work week, insurance, sick pay, increased safety,vacations , and the list goes on and on ! Why cant these weak-minded brain-washed "people" understand that without union struggles we would all still be working 80hr weeks ,6 days a week for nearly nothing !
