It&#8217;s about the &#8220;education&#8221;&#8221;system&#8221; in this country. If you can watch this documentary and not walk away hating the government, unions and liberalism in general, you&#8217;re a brainless moron.<\/p>\n<p>This is how liberalism promises to make everything in the country &#8220;better&#8221;. Somehow throwing money at problems is doing something beneficial. When I graduated from high school, I CLEPed out of my first year of college without studying a lick &#8211; just based on what I learned in high school. But now, New York liberalism has made the education system &#8220;better&#8221;. Twenty years later when I went to the State University of New York to finish my education, I didn&#8217;t learn a thing I hadn&#8217;t learned in high school.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the freshman class was enrolled in remedial classes for reading and writing and math&#8230;in college, they were learning to read. New York used to have the best education system in the country&#8230;until liberalism made it &#8220;better&#8221;. They leveled the playing field nationally with Jimmy Carter&#8217;s Department of Education, so the leveling leveled New York State&#8217;s system down. And since we&#8217;ve placed such a high valueon colelge education, the public education system can teach more important shit like putting condoms on bananas and let the colleges take up the slack&#8230;.when the public schools used to teach a college level education, now they teach up to a grade school level and stop.<\/p>\n<p>And throwing money at the problem isn&#8217;t going to help that illiterate high school senior headed for college next Fall. or that high school senior who will start looking for a job in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, Netflix put the documentary &#8220;Waiting for Superman&#8221; on it&#8217;s wireless list, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m &hellip; <a title=\"Waiting for Superman\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=28057\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Waiting for Superman<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[145],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-schools"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28057\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
