A new documentary film, "Looking for Superman" suggests that American education is severly flawed. Is this view justified?

As a former history teacher, I believe that the majority of today's public issues are rooted in the quality - or lack thereof - of American education. Never in my own memory have I noticed so many students (and adults) who are so uninformed about even the most basic facts of history, civics, geography ... Recent studies suggest that U.S. schools rank well below other nations in the disciplines of math and science ... "Waiting for Superman" (which needs to be shown locally) says that the "blame" or "responsibility" for this sad state of affairs rests upon several factors - i.e. the distractions of TV and computer games; teachers' unions that support "tenure" for some incompetent teachers; uncaring parents; "pressure groups" that demonize public education to promote private, sectarian schools; politicians who burden schools with "unfunded mandates" like "No Child Left Behind" ... Or is it "all of the above"

Do you really think that trying to end workers freedom will make them work better ?Come on , lets talk some more about CHOICES !! You know the Choice that workers make when they go to work and either CHOOSE to work union or CHOOSE to work non union ! Now exactly how is it that this CHOICE isn't a CHOICE ?? Every Worker has a choice to where they work !Either at Union shop or they CHOOSE to work at a non union shop ,its their CHOICE!! we are ohio.co m

“Examine the person’s reaction when they're busted in a lie.”

“Vindictive and may seek revenge. Rage and anger may be another reaction stemming from being “outed”, so expect possible retaliation or vindictive behavior.”

The whole of your arguement is that people dont have a choice RIGHT ?Well seems to me that if a person either chooses to work at A: a union shop or B: a non-union shop they are making a conscience choice ! SO EXACTLY HOW IS MAKING A CHOICE NOT A CHOICE !!! And if this fact is correct ( and it is ) then wouldnt that make your whole right-wing bullsh#t fest a lie ??•The average worker—unionized or not—working in a right-to-work state earns approximately $1,500 less per year than a similar worker in a state without such a law.Right to Work For Less By ThinkProgress War Room on Dec 10, 2012 at 5:26 pm "right to work is wrong". c om

And yet the Know Nothing Expert still cant wrap its pea brain around the fact that as retiree's no former active union members pay dues ! So all its typical half-truths and lies don't mean anything ! Of course we would expect that sort of mis-leading crap from wrongriki ! And just why would anybody care about what a non-working leach on society has to say on unions ? It has no experience and the only info it gets is from right-wing garbage factories !

In conversation they may repeat the same piece of information 20 times, remaining wholly unaware that they are repeating the same thing in absolutely stereotyped expression.”

"we are ohio".c om Still having problems with that pesky thinking for yourself thing eh ??Choice means living with the responsibility of your choice ! Whenever a person makes the CHOICE to either work at A: a union shop or B: a non-union shop they ARE MAKING A CHOICE !! So explain to everyone how making a choice is not making a choice !

"We are ohio".co m Make no mistake about it ! It's not some ironically named website it's the republican party !! They will lie and mis-lead to try and make it sound like there are thousands of workers trapped in unionism but the truth is most all union members are perfectly happy to be union ! This is the typical republican tactic of deny , deflect and lie thats used to demonize something they want changed !"we are ohio".co m

"we are ohio".co m Apparently you just keep trying to tell the same ole lies wrongriki ! Cause and effect !Some one has to get the TRUTH out there !Newt said if you tell a lie enough some will think it true but not as long as theres someone willing to tell the truth !"we are ohio".co m

VOTERS and TAXPAYERS: Whom do you believe?

Wrongriki who must always post right-wing propaganda and lies! Who follows the republican mantra of deny , deflect , mis-lead and lie ! And uses rabid republican garbage factories to shore up its bullsh%t !

OR

Those who post facts and have actually had a job and not relied on the government for its living !

We are Ohio.co m No #1 Even though the welfare addicted wrongriki's idiocy about retiree's not paying dues anymore comes as no surprise because again it has no valid point to make ! This outright mission to destroy unions and democracy is personal ! unless we stand up and fight he and his republican masters will take labor back a 100 yrs ! The republicans want us all to be like a third world country and give up the rights and dignity so sorely won !We are Ohio.co m

"right to work is wrong".co m Well for a welfare addicted republican parrot , regular people would think that you would be grateful for the rights and dignity afforded all workers by the efforts of unions and their members ! But your constanrt denial of FACTS comes as NO SURPRISE since you have never had a job much less a union job ! Most would think that you, being supported by the taxes of hard working people would at least acknowledge that unions have benefited all labor ! To be so unthankful is truly a republican trait !"we are ohio ".co m

We are Ohio. co m And just who and how many does your republican super PAC's represent ?? We don't know because they, unlike unions, don't have to report those donatiions !If it sounds a little fishy you can bet it smells a whole lot fishy !And still regardless of all your efforts workers will have the choice whether to CHOOSE to work union or CHOOSE to work non union which does make it voluntary !Different but the same idiocy so we will remind the vast majority that thumped SB5 that this is just the republicans again trying to screw labor !
