I could have so much fun with this, but won't, as it is the students themselves that shall suffer.

It is bad enough that we, Alaska, have such a poor graduation rate with or without the standardized testing, but it is even worse that our own graduates are unable to qualify for college grade classes, let alone technical school grade classes to further their own ability to obtain jobs, let alone well paying jobs.

Want to really educate the children?

Dismantle the union mentality of our supposed teachers.

Dismantle the supposed "social" ideology that so many "educators" so involve themselves within, and simply TEACH!!!!!

You know, the three R's, technical skills, financial skills, etc.

Leave the social issues unto the parents, teach the fundamentals to the best of your abilities, and if you are not up to snuff, well, find a new job, and put that Liberal College degree to work for you.

By the way, good luck with that.

You do not social-logically engineer our kids.

The parents do.
