Who is whining? I am stating the fact of life in education. No Child Left Behind didn't work .It's policies are still in effect today. And the name calling? Do we have to go back to this? Are we not adults? Address my point if I am wrong. However, I know for a fact that I am right. I have seen it with my own eyes.

Edited for syntax. Nice butcher work, Tak.

Who controls education? Left or right?

How much money will it take to have good schools?

Sadly the teachers unions will always want more.

Not all people are gifted equally. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try your hardest in academia, but come on now. Not everyone is going to go to college. Sometimes a vocational school, is the better route for an individual. In fact, i can think of a few trades that probably pay better then some 4 year degree's some folks have. If i could have a "do over" in life, id have tried harder in Algebra, and gotten into HVAC. Unfortunately for me, english and creative writing was what I was best at and not mathmatics.

Regarding No Child Left Behind, the intentions are there, but it doesn't work. Standardized testing is a poor representation of academic achievement for the very reasons that you stated above. Yet, that is the standard to which schools are held. It makes no sense and never made sense, but it allows politicians to point and say that they did something about education. Like it or not, the development of the youth has become a political matter. And we wonder why it is failing, just like everyting else that politics becomes involved in.

Public education is controlled by the local school board. Oversight is controlled by the state and federal governments. Both left and right hold blame in this matter.

And the name calling?

Cry me a river fluffy. You treat other people like dirt that don't agree with you, so stuff it, hypocrite.

If you want to turn this into a boxing match, we can do that. But, you are going to lose, and I think you know that. Best push from the table now.

Okay, I buy 2 lunches and a case of beer.

If you gave me a six pack of miller lite for every evening (or early morning) i worked on it, I *might* consider it.

That's 24 beers a week bucko'. A single case of beer? Yeah right.

edit: I don't normally drink that much, but that's how much it would take to get me modding again. Getting buzzed would be the only way I could tolerate it.

24 beers a week, eh? Miller lite?

What's your address, so I can ship it to you? Can I just open an account for you at Costco?
