Set Our Teachers FREE!

I finished the last post with questions about how little our students are being taught about the ongoing global situation, including the effects of Chernobyl, immigration and trade deficits.

I’d like to continue with a further excerpt from “Set Our Teachers FREE!”:

“How can our students hope to compete with the graduates of other developed countries who grow up understanding the concept of nearby borders and competition between sovereign nations?”

“Even those advanced students in current College Preparatory courses are not learning enough about the world at large to be truly competitive. For some bizarre reason, we seem to think these are subject matters that should be taught only at college level, and then only as electives. Guess what! By the time they get to college, if they do, our students have already fallen so far behind they may never catch up. . . ” (end of excerpt)
Sooner or later, we as a nation are going to have to realize that we must take action if we are to regain educational supremacy. We are now sliding further behind (#24 among developed countries) but the worst part is what this means for the future.

The USA (right or wrong) is taking the blame for problems all around the world. We are seen as the “evil, war-mongering giant”. Yet, we just sit back and fight among ourselves. And we aren’t fighting over proposed solutions, we’re fighting over “partisanship” and “political correctness”. In the meantime, the potential future leaders of tomorrow are falling by the wayside. Where will those leaders be when we so desperately need them, huh?

We must take action NOW, to prepare qualified leaders for the coming days. We will need our students to be trained to take over, but they need to understand not only the global picture, but how to function in it with brilliance, strength and integrity (something that we see sorely lacking at present).

Let’s STOP burying our head in the sand and realize that WE can make a difference, if we work together!
