dr sportster: I knew someone would jump me and your the second one. So here goes. Her success has little to do with her public school teachers. Her Mother/Father/family has always taught her what she should know rather then what the school/government thought was good enough. These skills include: Reading and writing at a college level by the time she was a Freshman in High School, She can use a slide rule and knows how to do square roots manually, She can speak four languages: English, German( My Mother), French ( Her Fraternal Grand Mother) , and Spanish ( Our Pastor).
Much of the trouble in today's education system is too many people think that the schools should be doing all of the teaching. I find that the parents and family should do a larger part. Maybe the majority of the teaching should be done at home.
The local system and the family have been at odds over the education the Grand Daughters get for the last 7-8 years. There are state funds set aside for higher education at the high school level. The local system was taking those funds and using them elsewhere while telling the state that they were using the funds as needed for the higher achieving students. The reality was that the administrators would not approve any students to take the advanced courses. There was a group of four families that petitioned the state board of education for the lack of funding of higher education. The local district was in some hot water for awhile. Several of the local administrators took early retirement rather than face the music. My oldest son and his wife where one of the four families. The trouble for us was not the funding. The colleges would not accept the students without the recommendations from the local district.
My poor view of most teachers/administrators is directly the result of the last 20 years in the local area. The sad part is we have above average schools according to the testing done. So how bad are the teachers/administrators in the low scoring districts????

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
