Here are some responses to an article about Wisconsin schools failing:
Here in portage teachers are giving middle school kids college school work that has alot to do with failing grades no parents can help there kids with.
Sigh... except that is NOT what tenure does. Tenure simply means due process. The union is also doing it's job, by representing the teacher.
Or the Parents! Can't blame it all on the teachers. I taught all my kids everything they should know before they start 4k. Its not all the teachers responsibility.
The little school my kids go to now and to help him catch up cause he was behind on the proper way of doing math.
Less education. More teaching about the real world. School is waste of time. Living is about making money. Not learning shapes or math you'll never use.
What constitutes a failing grade? Is it really the schools that are failing or is it this common core nonsense that ties the teachers hands from actually "teaching" their class? Is this all about test scores...cause I have a ton of grandkids that are burnt out.
Grades are still a thing? I thought we were to "progressive" for that...

Oh contrare! - from a poster on the Political forum who fancies himself a "philosopher." I guess he's no Rene' Descartes, though. Maybe he's a "philosopher" of Urban Dictionary spellings.
Using women when the appropriate word (in context, of course) is woman.
I met a women at the bar and she was hot!
I would like to know as a women what you think about that.
She was just a stunning women.
Woman is singular and women is plural for crying out loud!
I have thought that was strange, too.
Would the same person say he met a men at a bar?
