Education? By Government? Gee ... It Hasn't Worked So Far!

SEE HERE Why should be believe that the government knows anything about education. If you want good education then you should shut down the Department of Education, create education vouchers and put the education of the children in the hands of the people who care about them, their parents. All the rest is sheer malarkey. The interesting thing to me is that public education is a relatively recent experiment and for the entire time of the experiment the quality of the schools has been going downhill as measured by student achievement. One of the most telling indicators is to get copies of old books and compare them with copies of new books at the same grade level. It will make you heartsick to see how much more difficult the old books were. We have cheated generations of children out of a superior education while lying to them about how superior they are.
