A new study, “...education is much more influential than other demographics in lifetime earnings ... professional degrees vs. elementary school: 5 times ($72,000) more influential ...full-time, year-round workers...more women to men earning college degrees = 36% more...women benefit more financially from education...”
How does any student survive the faulty classroom obstructionists today? “Schools Race to the Bottom.” Quality education in the public arena is elusive, hazardous. Parents need to explore other venues for learning, not be conned by public schools.
The years, the new taxes, the professional hand-wringing incompetence, and the un-subsidized mandates pound on. The rugs get larger. The media watchdogs poke loudly and often at the education carcass—to no measurable avail. It’s just more excuses/buck-passing, more new clothes for the emperor. More:
Teacher layoffs
Shortened school/teaching days
Unclear instructions for teachers
Refusals to assess/cull failing teachers
Cancelled summer remedial programs
Cancelled afternoon homework clubs
Cancelled room aides
Wasteful, irrelevant teaching aids/gadgets.
Closing libraries
Closing schools
Bloated classrooms
Increased parents’ walking-in-the-door registration fees
Wasted dollars/times/energy
Wasted futures
Under-schooled and unskilled juvenile delinquents street-bound, biting back
...and test scores continue to plummet.
