What's Coming For Public Education?

There are quite a few problems with America's public education system.

The problems range in areas from grade school, jounior high school, secondary ecucation, and post secondary education.

One of the main problems, as I see it and have said many a time, is that the teachers unions have took something that is supposed to be a boon for the children to a flat-out money laundering situation. The unions give the dues to politicians who, in a growing amount of situations, do not jive with the attitudes of the rank-and-file members. The politicians will recipricate with the funding going to failing public schools which pay the teachers, who pay the dues, and elect the polticians whowill keep the circle closed.

The colleges and universities are printing presses, as well. They, in a vast majority of cases, get aid from governments of all sorts and can raise their fees indescriminantly. The problems comes when people figure out that most of the colleges and universities have large endowments.

Don't get me started on Common Core.

When people like Governor Bobby Jindal suggest solutions, they are always castigated by the progressives.
