Education in America is what the parents and students do with it. A good education is offered, but many parents and students want the teachers and schools to do it all.
Can’t do your homework at night? Let them do it at school. Can’t wake up early enough to eat breakfast? Serve it at school. Can’t buy pencils and paper (but have enough money to buy the additional junk food offered in the cafeteria line)? Make the frustrated teacher buy it for you. Don’t like your test grade? Make the teacher give you a retry. Getting in trouble in class? Blame it on the mean teacher instead of just following directions. Didn’t make the A Honor Roll? Make the school create an AB honor roll and then a B Honor Roll if you didn’t make that one.
The list goes on and on. For at least 50 percent of all public school attendees AND their parents undeserved self-esteem, laziness, never taking the blame, and a sense of entitlement HAS destroyed our youth – not the educational curriculum offered in America. We really need to start holding them accountable earlier in age – not when they’ve been spoiled in 3 – 12th grade (1st and 2nd should be coddled a bit, I believe) with over zealous “self-esteem” programs and an education system that does all the HARD work for them.
Look how the many young are so quick to vote for Obama (products of the above). He offers them an “easy way out,” and they are too lazy and unwise to actually research the consequences.
It is darn scary.

Chemicals that eased… : so the greenies are seeing their argument villifiying CO2 going down the toilet, so they have to come up with another bad guy. Since the campaign against CFCs worked so well in the 70s and 80s, they want to try it again with the replacements HFCs. Do these guys just hate air conditioning and refrigeration?
President Is Set to ‘Take the Baton’: Not another primetime appearance. Geez, I thought the networks were going to push back after the last one that they bitched about. Aside from the fact that he “took the baton” on January 20, 2009, and has had it since, regardless of his blame shifting to Bush.
CFL Bulb issuee: Gee, those of us with any amount of common sense have been hollering this since the whole issue came up. Idiots! Of course the disposal procedures won’t be followed, even in CA, they’re a pain in the butt and onerous, to boot. The EPA can’t even figure out what we should do in the case of a broken CFL, vacuum or not. The only way they’ll be able to enforce this is if you have to call an EPA approved, union member to change any and all light bulbs in your home, under threat of jail. ‘Step away from the end table lamp and no one gets hurt!’

Expanding on the CFC/HFC refrigerant issue, I think that was a trial balloon that was sent up by the liberal propaganda folks to see how far they could push a ‘global climate crisis’. It never made sense to me, even as a kid, why a “hole” in the ozone layer that had just been observed, as the technology was new at the time, was an emergency. How did they know that it hadn’t been there all along? Ozone is an electrically polar molecule, not to mention extremely unstable, wouldn’t it make sense that in a magnetic field they might migrate toward one pole of the magnet (i.e. the earth) and away from the other?
I started my career as an environmental humbug in about the 6th grade and have just gotten more humbugged since then.
