Default Re: Value of a Friends School education...

I don't blame him for putting his kids in a private school.

In 1983, the National Commission on Excellence in Education concluded in A Nation at Risk : “If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.”

Now some liberal politicians view it as a way to grant favors. The Cabinet-level Department Of Education was Carter's gift to the Education Unions.

If I recall, the high school graduation rate in Chicago is about 25%. Only 1 out of 4 kids graduate. Pretty bad.

We can see that's not what the Illinois Governor was focusing on!

Now IF Obama starts parroting the leftie's blather that got us into this mess in the first place, then we have a problem. No one seems to know anything about him, except that he has, shall we say, undesirable friends.

Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.

Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.

Let us NEVER elect anyone who thinks like Vladimir Lenin
