Why Can’t My Son Go to the 4 Grade

WRONG QUESTION!!

I was watching news last night and I heard a woman complaining, Why can’t my son go to the 4th grade?

I understand her grief. I understand her desires. My older son spent time in a California school. He also spent some time in a Memphis school. It is the primary reason we moved to Desoto County.

My advice to that woman or to anyone who has his child in Shelby County schools, get them out! just as fast as they can.

Many things can be done to improve the schools, but that would take time. You don’t have time. Besides, I don’t think they want to improve the schools. Their purpose is to take your money and gain power. Some teachers try, but, for them, they are swimming upstream. When they make the other teachers look bad, the union reps have words with them.

At this point, I’m not sure Desoto County schools are that good. I saw signs of degrading the last few years my sons were there, decades ago. Today, I would do what I could to keep my dependents out of any public schools completely.

Moreover, my advice to this and all parents in Shelby County is to ask the right questions. My question, above all, is why is it that OUR children can’t read. I emphasize OUR, because we aren’t talking 2 or 3, or 5 or 6. We are talking thousands. Shelby County schools are some of the worst performing in Tennessee and the US.

If it were individuals, we could say the child is the problem. The fact is, it isn’t the failure of the students I’m concerned with. It is the failure of the system, one which has money flooding in, and failure flowing out.

The long term solution, vote Republican. Get those dems out of there just as fast as you can. Fire teachers who can’t or won’t teach. Better to have 8th graders who can teach than a PhD who can’t.

Finally, minimize control by teachers unions.They have no business at all in the control of the schools, teaching methods or what is being taught.

One Way to Keep African-Americans Out of the Good Private Schools

Simple. Make sure they never get school vouchers.

Don’t get me wrong? I am in favor of vouchers. I want Black children to have the same benefits of the wealthy. However, the dems are steadfast against it. Their priorities are the government schools over all children.

There’s a horrid relationship between the teachers unions and the the government. The teachers unions provide financial support for the dems, both direct and in kind. The dems provide support for the teachers unions by fighting vouchers.

More, it is a way for the dems to control what your children are taught, or not. You’ll never find a teacher in a public school teaching Christian ideas.

The dems look at every child leaving public schools, regardless of ethnicities, as a loss of money and power.

Remember. If the public schools are so great, why do the wealthy send their children to private schools? Why is it that some take on 2nd jobs just to keep their children out of the influence government controlled education. If the private schools are not as good as public schools, how is it that so many of them are doing so well, in both enrollment and success.

Finally, if government run schools are so great, why are those running those schools so desperately afraid that they will lose so many of their students to private schools should vouchers be permitted, even for a percentage of the less fortunate.

Who is Controlling our Schools

I suspect most people would say that the school board and superintendent are the primary people who set policy and what is taught in our schools.  If you agree with that, think again.

There are two unions that control the schools.  No one gets hired or fired without their permission.  Nothing gets taught unless it meets their criteria.

…and of course, who controls the unions.  I’ll give you two guesses and the first one doesn’t count.  I will give you a hint.  They very likely contribute to one and only one political party… not the republicans.
