A post by No One of Any Import caught my eye this morning. Perhaps it’s because I have two children in elementary school. Perhaps it’s because just last night we were talking to our fourth grader about what he’s been learning in “social studies” at dinner time. (They don’t call it history anymore.) Anyway,...
This is sad but true. I’ll remember it when I attend my son’s 1st grade “Holiday’s Around the World” multi-cultural holiday show later this month. (I’m not making that up.) Via Maggie’s Notebook Also: see Conservative Hideout and The Other McCain. Tweetvaso link
Hopefully we’ll start seeing more of this. Maggie’s Notebook: A new California law known as “The Parent Trigger” allows parents to take over failing schools and oust the teachers and their unions. Governor Arnold Schwartzeneger is praising the movement spurred by Parent Revolution, an organization based in Los Angeles. Targeted is the city of...
The following is a guest post by Dr. Robert Owens. ******************************************** Learning the Truth About Education You can’t know what you don’t know, but you can know that you don’t know. Knowing the difference is wisdom. Realizing that knowledge is the cure for ignorance should be the inspiration for education. If you want to...
This is just so sad. I wanted to get to bed early tonight, but I don’t want to forget this. A school in Washington, DC is doing away with failing grades. I know, some people may think that’s a ‘kind’ thing to do. But really, if we aren’t free to fail are we free...
For one, this ad is too long for most internet surfers. Point two, if it’s aired on TV (no doubt at taxpayer expense) people will be flushing their toilets at the moment it’s revealed that Jack Black, pretending to be a retarded Charlie Brown, reveals he’s just a liar paid by evil rich folks....
It was 3:55 when the the bus pulled up. The boys came running up to the porch like they do every day, when suddenly my older son ran passed me and through the door. He threw his back pack on the floor and said “I hate school!” When I looked at his face all...
President Obama won’t send his girls to public school in Washington, DC. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy But he also won’t do anything about the unions that protect bad teachers.

Hey New Yorkers, did you know your unelected Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, is trying to spend 16 billion of our hard earned dollars on schools overseas? As if the $10 billion “public education bailout” wasn’t enough to stomach, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has introduced a bill, titled Education for All Act of 2010, which...
Obama’s Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan promised to turn our children into “good little environmentalists.” U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan vowed on Tuesday that his department would work to make American children into “good environmental citizens” through federally subsidized school programs beginning as early as kindergarten that teach children about climate change and...
I got home from work and glanced at the headlines at memeorandum when I came across a post by Glenn Reynolds (AKA Instapundit) on a lecture about the higher education bubble. He made an excellent point about subsidies for the middle class. The government decides to try to increase the middle class by subsidizing...
They like Charlie Crist, too. Politico: An analysis of Federal Election Commission data conducted by the Center for Responsive Politics shows that Democrats have raked in more than $400,000 just from employees of the University of California’s network of colleges — 86 percent of all donations from UC employees. Harvard employees ranked second in...
I thought schools were places where children go to be educated. More an more, schools are turning into indoctrination camps. Apparently, Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD) doesn’t think they’re indoctrinating our children fast enough, so he’s asking them to step up and help promote the Democrats’ green agenda. He wants to get ‘em while they’re...
Is there any hope of turning this blue state red before my kids are in high school? Good grief, what next? Pajamas Media: A New York Post report from August 24 by Yoav Gonen highlighted the selective Islamophilia readily apparent in reading extracts from the New York State High School “Global History and Geography”...
