the Education System

     So, here in Georgia, we have 178 teachers, in ONE school system, that are being asked to resign or be fired for changing answers on the CRCT test. This test is supposed to tell how well a student has been learning. But, what the test has turned into is a grading system for teachers, which will determine their pay, and a grading system for a school system, which determines if that school system should receive Federal funding or not.
     This scoring system is from the great "No Child Left Behind" bull crap that has been imposed on the education of our children. Did you know that most public school educators prefer to have their children in a private school? Do you know why? Because in the private school systems they are not required to follow these guidelines. Most use the old ITBS testing of students that really tells if a student is getting an education or not. The ITBS just tests to see what level the student is at with their education.
     This "No Child Left Behind" crap is a detrimental to our country. In the Atlanta Public Schools, where these 178 teachers are employed, 15 students, in 8th grade, were unable to read, yet, they passed the reading portion of the test in the upper 10%. When teachers pay is based on student scores no one wins. It should be up to the principals to determine who is a good teacher or not. These principals know who does a good job or not, it is like any other business where a manager runs a place. The manager's are the ones who can tell if someone is worth having or if they need to be replaced.
     What is going on in these public indoctrination schools is simple. If the masses are kept uneducated, they will not know when they are being taken advantage of. A "dumb" society will not know if the government is screwing them or not. Obama would have loved to be the one that brought the world together in a One World Government, but he allowed the collapse of the US economy which then started a domino effect across the European Union, and now that union is dissolving because of failing economies. But by allowing the "dumbing down" of society, he helps the plan along for a later date.
      I know this sounds like a lot of conspiracy theory bull crap, but, think about what I am saying. Put 2 and 2 together and you will come up with 4. The dumber a society becomes, the eaiser it is for a single person of an educated background to manipulate, lie, and coerce the general public. I mean look what Obama did. He was elected by the masses because he could talk a lot of bull crap, but, when confronted by reporters now, he is no longer answering questions thrown at him.
      Back to the education system....
      We need to remember that the children in school today will be the people leading industry, education, monetary establishments, and the government, when we are all old and grey. If you do not already do it, PLEASE, start emailing your Congressional representatives and let them know what you think. I send Saxby Chambliss an email regularly about my opinion on current events. It may seem like a waste of time, but, believe me if they get enough emails concerning these events they will have to listen. These people in public office love being pampered like they are and do not want to give it up. If they think enough of their constituents are not happy, they begin to think that they may not get re-elected, and this they do not want to happen. THEY WORK FOR US. If you hired someone to do a job for you, are you going to keep them if they continuously do the opposite of what you want them to do? HELL NO! You are going to fire them and find someone who does the job you hired them to do.
     We ahve to start at the education system and work our way up. Educated people can fix this mess we live in, but first they need to be able to read and write and do mathmatical problems.
