THE STATUS OF EDUCATION AND WHY
I found an interesting list...and I hate lists. You know the kind: Best Pick-Up Lines of 2003, Best Hair 2003, etc.
This one is kind of cute. It's about education and it comes from educators themselves. You're going to hear a lot of carping and whining about "school choice" and "education cuts" and No Child Left Behind over the next few months...mainly because the Education Establishment are full of a bunch of lazy bums who don't want really to educate children. I mean that. They're more worried about protecting their own jobs.
The list is a collection of Public Education Quotes of the Year. I could certainly assemble a list of local educators who have had some choice things to say in light of the recent lowering of standards for testing, but I plan to home school my own child and I'm just getting into the mode of being a lazy bum just like them.
My favorite quote? Of course, it's the number one on the list.
“We expect parents to work in the best interest of the kids. We’re working in the best interest of the teachers.”– Hudson (Ohio) Education Association President David Spohn. (October 9 Akron Beacon Journal)
