MAKING PUBLIC SCHOOLS A GOVERNMENT MONOPOLY HAS CREATED THE EXPECTED INCOMPETENCE AND DISMAL RESULTS; 82% SCHOOLS FALING IN USA



Public education is a dismal failure in America due to the entire system being run as a government monopoly.

Allowing government to run anything is a mistake as readers of this blog will already know. There is NOTHING that the government is in charge of that operated well or profitably! Do you remember that story some time ago when the government could not make money running a Nevada brothel after taking it over by the IRS, AND THEN HAD TO CLOSE IT DOWN AND GO OUT OF BUSINESS???

If they could not make money running a brothel, what can they possibly make a profit or or run successfully...answer...NOTHING...education is just the latest casualty of government mandated processes.

An estimated 82 percent of U.S. schools could be labeled as "failing" under the nation's No Child Left Behind Act this year, according to Education Secretary Arne Duncan.

The Department of Education estimates the number of schools not meeting targets will skyrocket from 37 to 82 percent in 2011 because states are toughening their standards to meet the requirements of the law. The schools will face sanctions ranging from offering tutoring to closing their doors.

"No Child Left Behind is broken and we need to fix it now," Duncan said. "This law has created a thousand ways for schools to fail and very few ways to help them succeed." he should know as he destroyed the Chicago school system.

Duncan delivered the news in remarks to a House education and work force committee hearing, in urging lawmakers to rewrite the Bush-era act. The law was established in 2002 and many education officials and experts argue it is overdue for changes.

President Barack Obama has highlighted reforming the act as a priority for his administration ( and when will this start????), and both Democrats and Republicans have agreed that it needs to be changed — though disagreements remain on how.

The current law sets annual student achievement targets designed with the goal of having all students proficient in math and reading by 2014, a standard now viewed as wildly unrealistic. hey is we wait long enough, we can all be retired anyway and then it will be irrelevant as to who failed what!

Duncan said the law has done well in shining a light on achievement gaps among minority and low-income students, as well as those who are still learning English or have disabilities. But he said the law is loose on goals and narrow on how schools get there when it should be the opposite.

"We should get out of the business of labeling schools as failures and create a new law that is fair and flexible, and focused on the schools and students most at risk," Duncan said.

The Department of Education said its estimate was based on four years of data and the assuming all schools would improve at the same rate as the top quartile.

"Even under these assumptions, 82 percent of America's schools could be labeled 'failing' and, over time, the required remedies for all of them are the same — which means we will really fail to serve the students in greatest need," Duncan said.

Have you ever heard this guy actually talk??? He is clearly a product of the public education system...a dummy.
