Comments on: Morning Bell: Duncan Chose Choice … Will He Allow You? http://blog.heritage.org/2009/01/12/morning-bell-duncan-chose-choice-will-he-allow-you/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:53:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Rob, New York http://blog.heritage.org/2009/01/12/morning-bell-duncan-chose-choice-will-he-allow-you/#comment-13493 Rob, New York Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:08:32 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/2009/01/12/morning-bell-duncan-chose-choice-will-he-allow-you/#comment-13493 As a resident of New York City and a military member its hard to express my complete disappointmnet with the public school system (PS 321 in particular) and the government regulations that created this mess including the nonsensical dimwits of the teacher's unions that govern this corrupt system in NYC. The final straw for my wife and I was when my son's teacher informed us that PS 321 progam was geared to educate girls and NOT boys. His teacher's obvious bias was not only reflected in her general poor attitude but was echoed by the PS 321 administration as well right up to the level of principal. My son is now in private school and has made dramatic improvements in his language and math skills. As a dedicated father I caution all parents of to be wary of the teachers unions and their war on white male children.

Callahan's post. School choice is the only avenue if parents want their children to be treated fairly. But, now that Obama has sided with the teachers' union throughout his campaign, how will he ever be able to enforce school choice? Will our nation continue to be a free for all for those with liberal views to the detriment of our children? Will only a select few, primarily politicans who can afford it, be able to have school choice for their children? I cannot forsee our nation progressing for the good of our children with the unions in control. I agree wholeheartedly with Roy G. Callahan's post.

The schools are failing in this respect, but ist it the parents fault or the school system. I think it belongs to both, the parents are not involved with their children and the learning process, and the teachers do not teach. Our teachers have been treated special for decades, price breaks on health insurance, pay increases while other state employes were give nothing or a reduced increase. Special retirement plan a guaranteed increase in retirement pay, excluded from drug testing, "violation of their privacy" but not other public employees. When will we stop throwing good money after bad.We need discipline in our schools, the kids need to sit and listen in class. I was told when in school, "I can not make you learn, but you will be quiet so others can". I think it was good advise. Education is the key to being sucessful in life.
