Teacher Union Commercials on Radio

Lots of things are wrong. I am not sure hubby would agree with all my opinions on this subject but the truth is that most of the children in the public schools grew up speaking pidgin. That makes proper English a second language for them. If the schools would recognize this there would be a lot of changes that would help these children. What happened to school from 7:30 until 3:30, five days a week? What happened to teachers having one prep period a day? The trend for year round school is a good theory but it is not working. Sustained, consistent classroom time with a summer vacation as a privilege for those who are successfully productive and summer school for those who are not.... Oh, bad me. I have this crazy idea that children should be taught discipline at home. If a child is a behavior problem, it should be up to the parent to come to school and get them... NOW. The excuse that they have a job doesn't fly with me. They have a job, and they have a child. Neither goes away because of the other. If the wrath of mom or dad taking off work is felt, there is home pressure to be in school, stay in school, behave in school.....

Oh, gosh, is that a soapbox I am standing on? Better step down before one of you knocks me off!!!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says

"Oh Crap, She's up!"
