Instead, they've all off shored for decades, leading to a hollow economy in the US. If kids and families see no connection between school and earning a living, education is weakened greatly. There are few good employment options for the poor and working classes-and I blame Big Business for this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-21906307123197602792014-06-09T06:37:29.053-04:002014-06-09T06:37:29.053-04:00Bill Gates complaining that not enough money was b...Bill Gates complaining that not enough money was being spent on Education research left out one very important fact, it is undemocratic to force citizens into an experiment against their will. workingmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623939041270657087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-90125735247254057212014-06-08T19:05:23.278-04:002014-06-08T19:05:23.278-04:00Poverty , the big white elephant in the room, is w...Poverty , the big white elephant in the room, is what's causing education inequity.While Gates is hugely involved in the destruction of a quality public education, to single him out would be unfair; we must also include his plutocrat cronies. Personally, I'm fine with burning the Walton Family at the stake while Eli Broad, Bloomberg and the Koch brothers cut the kindling for their own fires. If any of these plutocraps really cared about inequity or poverty they'd be housing the homeless and feeding the hungry right here in the good ol' US of A? Why aren't they paying a living wage? Why aren't they making sure US students get a quality K-12 and college education for FREE! An educated citizenry would strengthen our county so why aren't they doing it? They're greedy; that's why. Do any one of them really need another stinkin' dollar? Their children's children don't even need another dollar. At some point it's no longer about money to plutocraps; it becomes control of power. Which one of them will rise to be King of the World! What's really infuriating is that some of the greatest achievements in the 19th, 20th and 21st century were made by inventors and entrepreneurs who didn't finish school, dropped out of college or at least didn't have CCSS and excessive testing. If the US is going to pattern itself on the education systems of other countries, knowing our accomplishments prior to NCLB, RttT and CCSS, why would we continue to do this? Freedom to be creative and collaboration is what made America; not all the crap coming down the pike. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-87511780436421267432014-06-08T17:39:44.343-04:002014-06-08T17:39:44.343-04:00No middle class now - there's the plutocrats a...No middle class now - there's the plutocrats and the rest of us.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-29452383767122811962014-06-08T15:08:44.051-04:002014-06-08T15:08:44.051-04:00To complete that sentence, it needs to be added .....To complete that sentence, it needs to be added ...to get what they want.....on the backs of the working class, yes, that means us.
