'A Nation (more) at Risk'

 "A Nation at Risk" concluded:

"The Commission found that not enough of the academically able students are being attracted to teaching; that teacher preparation programs need substantial improvement; that the professional working life of teachers is on the whole unacceptable; and that a serious shortage of teachers exists in key fields.

􀁸 Too many teachers are being drawn from the bottom quarter of graduating high school and college students.

􀁸 The teacher preparation curriculum is weighted heavily with courses in

"educational methods" at the expense of courses in subjects to be taught. A

survey of 1,350 institutions training teachers indicated that 41 percent of the time of elementary school teacher candidates is spent in education courses, which reduces the amount of time available for subject matter courses."

But we must understand: "Poorly educated billionaires choose 70% of our governing politicians and these 'American Oligarchs' have destroyed America while guaranteeing they get richer and the poor get children.

Americans have lost faith in their government because the government is run by stupid people stealing all the tax dollars and getting 10 cents on a dollar worth of return on our tax dollars. The Republicans are especially guilty of this. Our Congresses, state and Federal, are comprised of lawyers who couldn't get jobs in Firms or Industries. We have less than 10% of our high school students learning any physics. And it's only the basis to how everything works.

We have lost faith in our government because it lies, cheats, and steals everything not tied down. Raw uneducated, conceited fools and the fault lies with us. We spend 20 minutes a year picking our governing bodies. You can turn America over, it's done.
