13 States to Raise High School Standards

As GOP Bloggers indicated "13 States to Raise High School Standards"

This is very good news, and it ties in with Bush's Education Initiative

For recent news items related to Education see my site

The education system has been going downhill for years. I am 62, and when my Mother was in college she was called in by the Dean of the College of Education and chewed out for cutting classes. She told him she never cut any of the important classes; the only classes she cut were the Education classes. He was not amused, but my mother realized that the garbage they taught in the Education classes was just not worth while.

We need to test teachers for what they know about the subject they are to teach, and ignore the garbage about HOW to teach.
