Math and Science....

One of our education system's biggest problems is that there is not enough emphasis on the Maths and Sciences.....America is falling behind in the world because our students are not gaining the necessary knowledge in these fields....

Too much emphasis on useless book learnin and abstruse theories and nto enough on PRACTICAL skills....students shoudl learn about the greatness of the Capitalist system, why Marxism is evil and Socialism doesn't work, how to invest in the stock market, balance their finances...and so on....

Arts and Humanities programs should be defunded since many teachers in those fields only fill students minds with revisionist histories and make them hate their country.....in addition,the skills learned in those fields are not as important as those of MATH and SCIENCE,which are the wave of the future....

Most academics can't even fix a doorknob....and yet they want to advocate for socialism....most of the socialists who support Obama have never ran a business....never done payroll,none of it...

No, it's actually because of "teaching to the test" rather than actually teaching so that students learn.

Nah, I just refused to put a roof on an edifice for a species which nested with an open air.

Ha :) As long as you gave a dissertation on the uselessness of avarian roofs :P

Yep, pretty much. The two go hand in hand; when someone says "let's return to basics" it's usually accompanied by a dumbing down of the curriculum and standardised testing.
