I've been bitching about education for a damn long time, as in years, as in since I owned my own business some 35 or so years ago. The government needs to get the hell out of education and the parents back in. The parents are too damn intent on making sure their kids make it to the friggin' soccer game or basketball game or whatever the hell extracurricular activities they have. They need to get the hell out of the damn sports and back into educating kids! If it were up to me, I'd ban sports except for kids who can pass all courses at a B level, and not TODAY's B level. They're letting kids skim through and No Child Left Behind is a joke. They're all left behind.
