Futhermore, your beloved “solution” of throwing mo’ money into the trough that is the educrat establishment only yields LARGER pigs, not BETTER educated pigs.

Not a good weekend for your petition is it?

Your humble servant,
jtfs

ps…I owe you one dollar – I’ll pay up when I get my first check for $13 dollars in April.

And we would bet a dollar against a rusty Cadillac that Foot Fungus would be first in line with his silver spoon if he thought he could get a scoop of what he calls a “turgid stool” of stimulus money.

Foot Fungus, go shovel the snow off your driveway. The Cadillac convoy is on its way to your neighborhood.

Should be there in time for breakfast. Got grits?

There comes a time when every instituion or government entitly must be held accountable for their actions. This has not been done. We have gone willy nilly along and allowed a group of individuals to feather their own nest at the expense of our most valuable asset; our children.

If a teacher or a Administrator is incompetent. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord spilt ya. If we are going to be good at anything, the individuals running the programs need to be committed to the overall success of the program and not personal accomplishments.

I am always disturbed when I see, hear and read of people trying to give a legitimate explanation of the issue only to be belittle and shown little respect for trying to give a valuable insight.

Money is not the problem. But, then, neither is as someone indicated palatial gyms and school campuses that many small colleges would die for. It is not the facilities, it is the people inside that make for a successful school. We are trying to do too much in the schools to be successful.

I did not vote for the current President, but he is my President, and I intend to defend his right to govern. He recently was berated for saying that he wanted free college education. That is not what I read. He stated that he wanted all young people to have to opportunity to attend school beyond the high school level. Can anyone say, Technical College, Associates Degree, Trade Skills. As much as I would like to think that all students are college material, it just isn’t practical. We need to provide a good basic education for every child in our state. I did not mean ok, but good enough that they can succeed at the level they are each capable of.

No Child Left Behind, School to work and all these phrases are just so much talk. Take the money out of the hands of the bureaucrats and put it in the classrooms. Now before too many teachers start cheering, remember, you are there to teach. Not to form political, religious, sexual orientation or any social engineering. You need to concentrate on the basic needs of each child in your class and show them the way to learn.

This has gone on longer than I intended but I am sick and tired of all the complaints from all sides. Quit pointing out the many problems and start coming up with solutions.

For added emphasis, the problem is not, in my humble opinion, money. It is going to take every parent, grandparent, teacher, and anyone who has an interest in the future of America to stand up and do more than talk.

We have forsaken so many of our values,qualities and beliefs, that made this county what it used to be. Now, lack of respect for authority of any description including parents, teachers, law enforcement and even the church has degraded our society to the point that one must question our values.

And I did it in a thousand less words than McAlister’s rant.

Take that 26th in the nation spending and apply a wage factor (South Carolinian’s wages are about 80% of the nation’s average) and we vault into the top ten in education spending in the nation.

It’s not the plantation mentality of the state’s leaders – it’s the plantation mentality of many in the state waiting for their “Massa” to feed them, to house, them, and to educate them.

So BIN – good luck with your “Mo’ Money” solution – that pig won’t pretty up no matter how much lipstick you slap on her.

SURELY Clemson has SOMETHING to do with it…

Oh, crap. I did that too.
