    Yeah Utah, I particularly enjoyed watching a bunch of kids who don’t pay any bills singing about how worried they are about paying the bills.

    Hey Utah, MSNBC is gonna be jealous. They are going to have to come up with something even more irritating.

    ROF ya think ? I swear if I had kids they darn sure would not be going to public schools. I find this more then upsetting. Isn’t this kind of crap abusive ? I do know this and have never said it but the day Obama got elected to office my 11 year old grand daughter came home crying. It was true fear. She said we are all going to die now . I mean the kid was truly scared. And never were the elections really discussed at home.

    The kids were cute, but not particularly talented and that song was bloody weird. Did you see the lyrics? Absurd. A pity these teachers can’t be bothered to teach things like math, writing, history….especially German history, specifically in the 1930’s. Welcome to the Fascist States of America everyone.

    BSNBC will definitely have to outdo this. I suggest an Egyptian/Babylonian type extravaganza with hundreds of kids wearing white robes with the obama “O” logo, bowing down and waving palm branches. What should they chant?

    Yeah Germany in the 30s must be the lesson they ripped out of the history book.

    Utah that’s why home school is on the upswing. People who can’t afford the private schools do it out of desperation. As a former teacher I often worried about that and how unskilled most people are at teaching. But then I realized,,,,,,,,,,, how much dumber could they turn out than what we are pumping out of our dumbed down schools now?

    Thank you, Mr. Bones. Now, how about “Sewanee River?”

    I guess CNN picked up the tab for this infommercial educational exercise in u/nbiased reporting. For sure barry boy–the fungal parasite–didn’t.

    annie,

    Don’t you know the new 3 R’s: neo-Racism, Redistribution, Radicalism?

    Private school. You can only blame the parents.

    My teen went to see her math teacher after school because she had questions about this week’s instructions. Her teacher said, in disbelief, “It’s like you just sit there and look at me like you’re saying ‘teach me’, I can tell math isn’t a strong subject for you’. Every year my kid scores higher than the state and national average in math. As a matter of fact, you loser, she actually does expect you to teach her. How dare you try to make my kid doubt herself because of your incompetence! WTF?

    Wow.. These kids are our future. We are completely screwed as a nation.

    Uppity not everyone makes the choice to home school because they can’t afford private school. We certainly could afford private school for little somebody, but we don’t like our choices there any better.

    At least for us and our situation home school has worked wonderfully. The majority of the parents in our home school group have at least a BA or BS. Although we do have a few parents that I question their abilities, beyond oh maybe 2nd grade, LOL!

    Somebody, point taken about home schooling, although I didn’t quite mean that was the case for everyone, I failed to say so. The thing is, it’s not about how much education parents have but about teaching as a profession. It’s kind of like I have plenty of education to the point of embarrassment, but I wouldn’t be a very good lawyer, not because I don’t have the dispostion or the inate ability, but because I’m not trained to be one. There are many skills that go into being a good teacher, and, although there are plenty of bad ones just like there are plenty of bad lawyers, it isn’t just something you wake up one morning and do well. It’s also about subject matter at the higher levels. There are also different phases in a child’s learning process to consider. For example, there is a concrete operational phase, whereby if a student hasn’t learned a certain skill by then, say—–spelling, he will never quite grasp it. Untrained, a teacher would not know this. I was thinking along these lines.

    I do know some folks who would be great teachers who aren’t trained to be one though. I just have a hard time grasping that this is the case on a great scale among home schoolers. A carpenter could be a great carpenter but he might not be so good at TEACHING it. You can’t become a good carpenter without first learning geometry, for example, even if it is not named geometry. Hard to explain.

    Ha! I have a cousin that has three…..count them three PHDs. He was a professional student for years, but the man can’t spell anything. I guess he missed the spelling boat early on in his life, eh?
