Education

I listened to Lou Dobbs and education was brought up. It seems like we import most of our engineers,etc. if you walk into a college and see who takes the math,etc it is not the ordinary average cititizen, it is theOriental either imported or grown up here. The main problem is not money as most our so called educators say but it is our grade school educators. remember our grade school teacher does not have to know any knowledge . Grade school teachers take a little psycology andSocialogy. The grade school teachers does not have to take math,history,etc so how can they teach such subjects. Levels have to raised if schools are to be saved. Students should not be told to reach their own level but should be told to go and learn at a higher level. If the grade school level is not raised how can the high school subjects like physics, chemistry, etc ever be taught. In the 30 's and 40 -for instance in Iowa- Latin was taught in the 9th grade, etc. All the money in the world will not change the school system unless Grade school is changed. Matter of fact as so called Teachers and school administrators got higher degrees -it seemed like the school went down hill. Why do you think that grade school teachers do not want bands as they say the student does not have time- it is simple - To play an instrument-the student has to learn a whole piece. Grade school is taught step by step- adding in 1st grade - 1 plus 1, subtracting in 2nd grade 3 minus 2 , etc. If a pie was baked like grade school is taught we would never have a pie. It might be better set certain level of the course- hire a high school grad to teach- remember these people would not know that a 6 year old is ignorant and would demand that the student go home and learn. Of course the first thing to do is turn the TV off in the homes where little children are and let their imagination go to work for them.
