Government Schools Are Killing America

I'm starting my tenth year in public education tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I will meet 200 fresh faces and I will do my best to teach them with the state and TEA having tied both my hands behind my back. Every year gets more frustrating. Fast-track administrators who taught 5 years and then moved on because they didn't like the kids are killing us. Vouchers are not necessarily the answer. Some modification of that idea may work.

Ask any teacher to define "TAKS" and you will likely change a good mood into a bad one.

Publicized TAKS scores constamtly put pressure on Supts. While doing so the teacher spends more time modifying lesson plans for the students who has no chance at college that the future leaders of America suffer. It's a sad situation that the country has been put in.

But just a side-note. For whatever this is worth to you....vouchers would instantly kill athletic programs. The level of play would drop horribly.
