Standards for No Child law eased

Illinois has been able to get the No Child Left Behind standards relaxed. I’ll let you read the article.

To me this is just another example of the Education Establishment working together to make sure nothing for them has to change. They are working the system to allow themselves to look good even if that isn’t exactly correct. And they wonder why parents don’t trust Public Education.

    Education Suggestions
    Filed under: General— site admin @ 9:43 pm 4/11/05
    I found these suggestions on Extreme Wisdom. I pulled out these because I agree with them.

    1. Bring back ability grouping. Let the horses run and the others catch up. Get the droning boredom out of the classroom.

    2. Abolish Special Education Mainstreaming. It is a foul experiment devoid of reason and rationality. (The extent to which it assists the “special ed. kid” is the extent to which it destroys the learning for the other 25 kids in the room – not that this matters to Marxist “equalizers.”)

    3. Recognize the limits of class size reductions. 15 might be better than 20, but not to the degree that we have to bankrupt states & localities. Do 15 /class early and 20+ above 5th grade and civilization will survive (it was doing better when curricula was challenging and there were 30 kids/class.

    My oldest is a great example of how item 1 would be beneficial to my oldest. She was just given more work and got bored. Stimulate the kids minds and they will flourish.

    Number 2 is very accurate. My brother is Autistic. He was not mainstreamed. He had special classes. With these classes he was able to actually graduate high school This would not have happened if he had been mainstreamed.

    There are financial limitations. If you do not mainstream special needs kids, the class size can be larger. If you allow teachers to punish children when they are disruptive, you can increase the class size.
