The education system as it exists today is producing dumbed-down, feel-good drones. We need our education system to start producing more thoughtful, inciteful and intelligent graduates.<BR/><BR/>We need to give parents the opportunity to choose between the UNIONIZED public system, where the teacher's union is only concerned about teachers' salaries, benefits and time-off, and a competitive private system where student success rate is closely tied to the success of the school.<BR/><BR/>Education should be thought of as an essential service. We can't allow the teacher's union to hold our kids hostage just so that they can get more money and more time off. If we are to continue to support only a public system then we need to disband the teacher's union and reward teachers for the success of their students.<BR/><BR/>It is time to get serious about the future of our children and our country!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
