No child educated socially

It appears that most of the teaching industry is rife with trouble over the program put forth by the Bush administration. No child left behind!

It clearly smacks of the same arrogance that goes along with the the administrations reasons for war.

When we see teacher after teacher and even high ranking administrative officials disagreeing deeply with the regiment put into place since Bush has taken office, we should be able to say that this is wrong. We should see the office result of such a bland, score oriented format.

It is clear that what George Bush had in mind was education in the same "talking point" format that his administration is so well known for. When you hear the same phraseology repeated over and over, like "evil doers, pockets of resistance, a surge", you are being conditioned. The public is being conditioned. It's fear conditioning.

It is difficult to get into the psyche of the adult...since adults tend to feel like they've seen it all. But deep down inside, as adults, we probably are aware of most everything around us and in many cases we pick up on subtle things. That's why talking points work so well with politics and public speakers.

A teacher in a school however is not a public speaker. They are teachers...they are they're to help us improve the listening skills of the children. Not to drill them with 5 talking points and a stringent quiz. Kids are not machines, they are simply made into machines after years of being taught in a very elitist fashion which does not recognize the needier of the students who do not have nearly as much opportunity as some of their peers.
