celebrating mediocrity (Score 1)

Thankfully none of my children will ever set foot in an American school. The NEA should be abolished. It's nothing but a bunch of 1960's, burn-your-bra types, that are trying to socially engineer our children into accepting mediocrity. It's okay if you're a loser...the government will bail you out if you can't find a job, afford your home loan or just want to sue someone for something asinine. We spend far more on "education" than any other country and yet we have the dumbest kids in the world. (well soon to be...we're what number 19 in the world now academically?) We used to be number 1!! We used to be the model of which other countries chose to emulate. Now they are using our previous standards for teaching to educate their children while we dumb down the materials so "Mommy's Little Monster" can play "catch up". Get rid of the social engineers and stop pandering to under achievers....till then I will continue to home school my children.
