studies in the 50's and 60's actitually benefitted our country's young.
The 'new education' (whole language instead of phonics, self esteem instead of accomplishment, as well as many other things) has been a terrible thing, disasterous, even!
The United States regularly finishes well down the list when compared toward other industrialized nations.
It was not always so!
I understand that new information (scientific discovery, technological advances) need to be incorporated in the material, but there is little reason for the American school system to have fallen so far, so fast!
I propose a Progress-at-Your-Own-Rate plan.
This system has ALWAYS brought about better, brighter students!
We do not need to teach self esteem, because the sense of accomplishment that comes from a job well done will build it. It is SELF esteem, you cannot get it from outside!
I support a voucher only school system!
Make schools compete and advance for our kids sake!
NO MORE DUMBING DOWN!

Are you REALLY so silly that you would chuck a GREAT idea because it has a politicaly tag at the end?
The political tag is for the one who came up with the idea that you just said you liked!
It is from the guy that really wants to make government accountable to YOU the American People!
It was MY idea!
I want to bring the shine and glory back to the RED, WHITE and BLUE!
So for that reason, I put the question out there for you.
If you like the idea, why NOT vote for me?
Or better put, why vote for the guy who will never even attempt to do it?
