“ Teach, Your Children Well. Their father’s Hell, did slowly go by. And feed them on your dreams, the ones they picked, the ones you’ll know by. Don’t you ever ask them why, If they told you, you would cry, so just look at them and sigh and know the love you.” ….Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

You know what is missing from this Presidential election? Neither Mitt nor Obama is talking about ‘improving education. Oh sure—Obama is harping about taxpayers “paying” for college loans, but he’s not mentioning any way to improve our dismal educational system. All we hear from any politician is the same old “give us more money” crap. As more money from the taxpayer is being dished out, the American educational system gets worse by the minute. You won’t be hearing any “no child left behind” slogans this campaign season…because there hasn’t been one President who could stand up to the teachers union. Not one.

Everyone from Bill Gates, to George W. Bush, (fair enough, he tried) to every CEO in the country have all said, our kids won’t be able to compete with the other nations, and they are absolutely right. How many times do they have to dumb down tests because the kids are so clueless? The teachers are too.
Blame the unions. Blame the democrats who support and depend on this vast monopoly, blame the politician, blame the hip hop culture …it doesn’t matter. The problem never gets solved. And I hate to tell you this: it won’t be.
The unions are entrenched like a stench of bad gangrene. You would almost have to cut off the rot and start over to get anywhere. Too many people make too much money for it to be overhauled. Our teachers are entrenched government workers. We are paying millions of teachers to babysit and indoctrinate, and dumb down whole generations of kids, and then we give them big pensions for doing such a bad job.
And if you blame the American parent—I’m going to scream. (Sure Joyanna! Go ahead.)
Parents have no say in it whatsoever. The teacher’s union have fought the charter schools tooth and nails in every state. Homeschoolers too. Any Americans who wanted to start their own schools outside the unions would not be allowed to…more than likely, they’d be jailed.
BUT…if you are a Muslim, that’s a whole different matter. Last week Leslie Stahl did a piece on this subject: Yes, YOU paid for it…Turkish teachers coming to teach your children. Right along with the mosques, the Muslims are building schools, where the “disadvantaged’ can get a great education.
Over the past decade scores of charter schools have popped up all over the U.S., all sharing some common features. Most of them are high-achieving academically, they stress math and science, and one more thing: they’re founded and largely run by immigrants from Turkey who are carrying out the teachings of a Turkish Islamic cleric: Fethullah Gulen. The education here gets high marks, as students get state-of-the-art technology and extensive one-on-one tutoring.
It seems the Turkish teachers are doing the job that American teachers can’t, and at a much cheaper price. There are 130 of these Turkish Charter schools in 26 states and the waiting list to get in goes into the thousands. Yes, the imam is out to get those American teachers on the unemployment line, and most Americans would pray to get their kids into these schools.
I ask you…how sad is this? Our teachers are so bad we have to bring foreigners in?
Some American teachers are mad:
“Our tax dollars are paying for them to come over here and take our jobs.” They charge that the schools also make money by bringing in foreign teachers in order to take a cut of their salaries. Also, while educating schoolchildren across Texas alone, the Gulan group has also nurtured a close-knit network of businesses and organizations run by Turkish immigrants. The businesses include not just big contractors like TDM but also a growing assemblage of smaller vendors selling school lunches, uniforms, after-school programs, Web design, teacher training and even special education assessments.
So, once again, we are our own worst enemy. We can’t even educate our own kids anymore, leaving a foreign country to come in and do it better.
And guess who will get “blamed ” for our kids being stupid?
You the American taxpayer. You the American parent.
Yes, history will blame you.
But I won’t.
George W. Bush once advised the Americans to let Dubai monitor American ports. Obama wants to further the Muslim’s influence in the world in math, and science.
Nobody Wonders: When did our Presidents give up on America? Nobody Knows.
Maybe we need to teach our Presidents to teach our children well…or else.
Not many people know about this very popular drug used by the prostitutes and gang members in Columbia. It’s made from a flower and it’s called “Devil’s breathe.” It can be put in drinks, or just lightly brushed on by your nose, and while your remain awake, you also will do anything the person tells you. You will take people to your ATM and give them all your money. Some people, when asked to open their house and load all their possessions into a van, will do just that. The prostitutes in Columbia use it to steal from their clients.
And when they come down from the drug, they don’t remember a thing.
It’s more dangerous than cocaine, and it can kill you.
So, with this knowledge, it would have been oh so simple for some prostitute to slip some of this Devil’s breath, into on of Obama’s Secret Service’s drink, and he would have done anything that prostitute told him to. up to and including secrets of the President, even helping with an assassination.
There are a few video’s on YouTube on this drug, so it appears to be very real. Having seen that, it hard to imagine our Secret Service men having a party with prostitutes in Columbia of all places.
We haven’t heard much more about this have we?
Here’s hoping it doesn’t make its way onto the streets of America…I can’t imagine a more dangerous drug.
Everyone was talking about Obama going on the morning talk show, The View, and charming the ladies yesterday. From The Viewwe learned the important information that Obama likes chips and salsa. It was another “love fest” for Barry, and the girls, because they found out that he knew the answer to another important question: “Was Fast and Furious your idea, and does it bother you that good people died because of it?”
No…that wasn’t the question. The realquestion the pampered ladies of the view wanted to know was:
“Which Kardashian got married for just a short time?”
“Kim.” said the ‘President.’
Yes. And that’s why the more important TV interview that all of America should have paid attention to instead, was last night’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian were his first guests.
Nobody wants to admit this, I’ve never actually watched a Kardashian show. I did think that Kim really pulled off a fantastic scam with the whole “I’m just getting married to let the world adore me in a wedding dress and make a big bundle of money on it.” last year. But, I’ve really never heard her talk until last night.
Obviously, someone besides Kim is controlling her career. I was having trouble getting past her really big butt…when she started talking about how once she babysat her nephew and the baby had to tell her what to do to change his diaper.
I don’t think she was making that up.
If not for the fact that I could not stop starting at how big that butt spread out like a giant whoopee cushion on that chair, I would have changed the channel..but then, Donny Deutsch came on.
Now, Donny used to have a program on MSNBC called The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. He claimed to be there to help entrepreneurs, but MSNBC fired him for including Keith Olbermann, right up there with Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, and Glenn Beck, for being “the biggest hate-mongers in television.”
So, you would figure a man who had a program on basically how to make money and do good things would be sort of smart, right? After all, his daddy should have taught him something.Donny started in on how we needed to reelect Obama because, come on, he’s a good-looking guy! After that he starting in on making fun of Sarah Palin, which is a subject it seems he can’t let go.
“Why the fascination [with Palin]? It’s very simple and I’m not going to be glib here. She is Snooki. It’s the same math,” Deutsch said. “A younger generation they want to watch this character with big hair who’s funny…you never know she’s going to say. It’s no different but for a higher demographic! We watch her she’s interesting looking…What’s she going to say? She’s campy, she’s kitschy, it’s telegenic, its television, its entertainment that’s the fascination, beginning, middle and end of story, she’s Snooki.”
Yes, If you want to know why the country is in such deep trouble, it’s because people like the Kardashian sisters, who couldn’t change a diaper even if the world depended on it, don’t give politics much thought—or idiots like Donny Deutsch, believe Obama should be reelected on his good looks along.
Donny thinks looks and charm ARE the key to a good President. This from a man, who compares Sarah Palin to Snooki, but thinks any of the Kardashian sisters would make his day if they ran for Vice President.
So, Nobody Wonders if Jay Leno did this on purpose…put four Deutsch bag Obama airhead lovers on stage at the same time to show the world how really stupid America Movie Stars are:
But then, the real people already know that….we found that out from listening to George Clooney. These are not real people….they are Obama Nanny Dolls.
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
