05.30 Clock is a summer day. I want the rest of the world in a blanket assurance that is working today, sleep on holidays only. But I cannot sleep. This is the first day at school, you know.
There is an old theory of learning that education is to teach students new things to say, but only to recall what they already know.
There is a high-minded theory that everyone does what I have called the Uni-president of age, the “education” as knowledge of how the truth is not quite accept, but it exists in its own plane parallel to us and can be accessed by the revelation.
To display the path to the hidden camera of the oracle, so to speak, and everything that has been released.
Sometimes, however, is not the student but the teacher must be shown the way.
Perhaps we are to meet the needs of others are so used to used to comfort us, that we modern folk often pay no attention to the tragedy unfolding before our eyes. Especially for parents who are trying to educate our children, it seems that there is a wall in front of our eyes that so often protects us from the truth.
We have our children learn in schools with the hope that they have what it takes to survive in this world: facts, figures, people skills, an inquiring mind, an entrepreneurial spirit.
And we show and support the school meetings, trips, classroom, endless fundraising, sporting events, etc., ad nauseum.
We offer educational materials, support, transportation, library staff, including office services, all of which encourage the hope that we are to the education of our children by example, and the release of teachers do “what they do best.”
All too often, however, that the parents of this business is not what was promised. Instead of bright, energetic go-getter academics, the children who are lethargic, depressed and exhausted the creativity once they are returned. We have children who are indoctrinated with political correctness – that is, the art of whininess arrogant – but who can hardly be increased. We have children who have the “science” class, learned recycling to “save” the planet, but you cannot explain how an airplane in the air or as an internal combustion engine remains. We have children who were forced to Dr. Martin Luther King “I Have a Dream” and take a year to the Cinco de Mayo to remember, but cannot explain one of the contributions of whites in the other world to bring the disease to North America.
In some schools it is not unusual that nearly half the students leave school before his senior year. Among those who hang, many seniors cannot pass on the left eighth grade to attend.
And only add to the enjoyment of parents on the way, the children have almost certainly to gay sex, oral sex, sex before marriage, contraception, abortion, illegal drugs, abuse alcohol exposed, nihilism and atheism. All under the auspices of the school, and all before the sixth grade – from kindergarten if they get some of the legislators the way. Recess come after school and before parents home a great opportunity for children to apply what they learn in the “Skool”.
Parents may request an adjustment to private schools, but often do not find better, just more expensive. If you are rich enough you can always buy their children a real education. If you are just rich, most likely what will happen is that you pay through the nose, and their children receive an education that is relatively free of sex and drug curriculum in public schools, and most violent games of bullying. But most of the rest of the agenda of teaching is the same, especially if you are in a state like California, where private schools are highly regulated, and that life too often the same books, same program, while the tables and the same test of the “precautionary “process that the public schools. If you’re lucky, it may take a little time to get some religious education.
This was our experience. Not part of a company man himself, were often on the lower rungs of the economic ladder. However, we put our son in private schools, despite the costs. Send it to our local public elementary school problem. The first time I walked into the office of the school, had three children from the school nurse, are treated after they defeated in the hallways. The second time we went to the office was, the police there with a “chat” with a guy as he looked around in the fourth year.
Thus we arrive at our child in a local private school with big hopes for better things. Now that he came into the nursery, was almost a year younger than the rest of his classmates because of the rarity of the anniversary of the cuts, but still tried many of them. This moment of glory did not last long, however. Soon we were told that our child needs a speech therapist because he was difficult to pronounce certain syllables. We have it down to the local public school speech therapist on staff actually a real, and after five minutes he was not only normal for her age, but it was exceptionally brilliant and I thought it was a few years ahead in its vocabulary , but could not pronounce their “th” sound yet.
After this obstacle, we learned that he had been teased at school. Although the school supposedly strict “no bully” policy, our son, who was a year younger than most of his classmates, but also higher than most of them in the same class with a child who is nearly two years longer than most children of preschool age. So now I have found myself explaining to my sweet 5 years, how to manage a gorilla 8 years with an intellectual disability who enjoy talking with his fists. Finally we have the Director to take action, after the teacher has done nothing, but at the expense of his Lord are now with us and our children as “enemy” in order to get into trouble.
And that was just the beginning of our experience with private schools. Have at one point our son saw something on TV, while the class was studying the Passion of Christ in the school, and he made a comment to someone, somewhere, anywhere, “Oh, I killed.” I think it’s because he used the wrong color pen or something. Suddenly, our first year, then it is likely that supposedly committed suicide, it could be a danger to others, blah, blah .. So what would be your first contraction, which means that it’s normal, but is unusually imaginative and, surprisingly, the verbal skills and the child was playing something I had heard, states will be don ‘were not really surprised, but relieved that everything is still normal.
Let me tell you, but moved a little, nothing is normal. Suddenly we were the underdogs who raised the child after the Columbine. We could not buy a game day at this time. And knew our son. He began with his head down while walking, playing alone in the break, and we begin to “stupid” when things went wrong. Back then we had the opportunity to apply to another school. We went through all the tires and got a positive response from teachers and other interviews, but one of the decisive factors proved to be as a letter to the new school, kindergarten teacher for our son. We were not allowed to see the letter, but the tone of the investigators has changed dramatically after reading it.
Fortunately, we had to give another chance at another school, the Catholic Church, our church. Again I had great hopes for better results. Once again, the hopes were dashed. Our son was in a classroom with a teacher first year of the blue, he called a troublemaker for some reason. This teacher, who later learned, had a habit of screaming at children, and took a large part of their aggression against our son. He began to hate school and want the incredible amount of work that have piled up on each night. The next teacher was much better, but then the damage had been done. While our son was able to do their job well (if desired), which regularly failed tests because they were limited in time and panic because I could hear children crying next to a master.
Just to make it even worse, they finally realized that the curriculum at the school founded by the state of the same curriculum in public schools. They used the same text and the same ridiculous hours from August to October patients per day, which does not allow time to absorb information, let alone understand. Parents whose children were good in class, discovered later, he goes to Kumon classes after school. If your child needs extra help for the propagation, we were told to be protected. Now, the guardians of the school is no time for us. We approached the youth, because youth director credits required for the baccalaureate. No one offered to teach our son. He concluded by saying that we have a professional guardian. We had a name, allegedly by a church member, but no contact information. This person has not by the municipality or school has been submitted. The director, who had recommended, was never published a series. We contacted the nuns of the church. This particular order, is responsible for the upbringing of children. It’s his gig. Within five minutes, turned to us and said guardian, sister of our son, but wanted to with your teacher before he spoke to a calendar. They talked to his teacher, seemingly suddenly, they were not available to help you.
So finally our own church schools was with teachers to teach the state curriculum textbooks in the state, happily accepted thousands of dollars in tuition fees, but may not work properly, kids math, forcing the parents to claim or with a program such as Kumon or in our case is not the legal guardian present.
We have between $ 25,000 and $ 30,000 in tuition, uniforms and other expenses in the vain hope that our children spent a decent education. All that happened was a group of strangers slowly strangled his curiosity and desire crushed to learn, so that a bundle of nerves at the age of 8 years.
Sometimes it is the educator to be reminded of what they already know. My son is very important to me, and I think that one day the world to leave in the hands of a fickle public or private school, is finally designed, produced thinkers non-compliant. We as parents cannot stand and watch, life is marketed him as the juice of a lemon.
The reality is that we, like most parents have allowed this to happen a long time because it will be raised by strangers for our son was comfortable.
Not any more.
We had begun to supplement their education with materials from a local home schooling, if he have problems in the class as a “backup” started because Monkey Business school administrators be present to the new students into the “probation” for some reason.
We have decided to take the plunge and just with the school. There is a change of course and a great responsibility, but the incredible improvement that we will see in our son’s attitude and ability.
I met many parents with similar stories as ours. They are apparently part of a growing movement for the formation of Müller will again run on the system.
Once you see through the same system, and that almost made my son, I do not believe in the “reform” idea of education, reducing class size or increasing teacher salaries. If the government insists on moving in education, what is needed is a greater elimination of what we have now. A replacement system should apply to teachers who are in a discipline other one as the “education” that an administrator-teacher ratio to start in the order of 1 to 20, eliminate the amount of degrees and let the students get comfortable in their own pace in the necessary skills.
How do I know it works? Because it is basically what we have created our own group of homeschooling and works spectacularly well. The children have gone through the program and entered college at 15 Many young people in the program or in the past in the program have successful businesses. My son is only 8, so we have a lot of work and growing to do, but for the first time in many years, he and his parents look forward to meeting you.
