Longer school hours - same old junk

Longer school hours would be a step backward. What is needed is a school curriculum that teaches the proper courses as opposed to spending time on social matters. Unless our schools go back to the basics, longer school hours will have little or no effect.Our schools were once rated as the top educational system in the world. Than we allowed them to be unionized and they quickly disintegrated into the lowest in world school ratings. Learning is more than attending a public school for longer hours, if school, in fact, teaches little relative to a good education, i.e., Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Along with these classes, our children, all our children must be thought the Nations History.It has been said that not knowing ones history is to forever remain a child. Without a strong foundation in American History; Today our children are subject to hearing lies and distortions of it, without a basis in fact,to refute what is being thought. How can we expect our children to love and respect our nation if the no nothingabout it. Make no mistake, our children are being, in all to many cases, indoctrinated as opposed to educated. HOW IS THAT THE BLACKS OF THIS NATION WHOACCOUNT FOR 12.1 PERCENT OF OUR POPULATION GET ONE MONTH OF BLACK HISTORY THOUGHT,WHILE ALL THE REST OF OUR CHILDREN ARE GETTING NO HISTORY OR VERY LITTLE HISTORYOF OUR NATION THOUGHT TO THEM. WHAT IS EQUAL ABOUT THIS. ALSO, HOW IS IT THAT WEHAVE BILINGUAL EDUCATION FOR THE MEXICANS. IF WE ARE TRULY EQUAL, EQUALITY MUSTPREVAIL FOR ALL OUR KIDS.UNTIL WE BREAK THE STRANGLE HOLD THE UNIONS NOW HAVE, ON OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLSYSTEM, MORE TIME WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROPLEM--OUR CHILDREN TODAY, FOR A SOCIALAGENDA, ARE BEING DENIED OUR VALUED EDUCATION. FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN AND,AS WELL THE COUNTRY, WE MUST PUT OUR SCHOOLS BACK IN THE HANDS OF PARENTS ANDQUALIFIED TEACHERS--NOT UNIONIZED ONES.ONE MORE THING; We must take the Porn out of Libraries! Computers must contain only necessary research material. Libraries must once again become learning institutions.http://themessengerpage.blogspot.comThe Messenger
