It is a failure on EVERY level! The newly passed ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) will give the States LESS control and the Sec/Ed MORE control! The overreach spans from birth to graduate school and into the Workforce. The union of the Depts. of Ed and Labor have skewed what true education is supposed to be and in its place, mandated a streamlined work based learning NOT for the students benefits, but the NATION'S economy and global stance.Lynnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-82287720988673527732013-03-30T04:22:41.104-04:002013-03-30T04:22:41.104-04:00they do investigate complaints of student discrimi...they do investigate complaints of student discrimination. that is a good thing. otherwise professors will discriminate against students based on disability, race, or any other factor.

Sometimes those violations precede the actual requirement as in the case of Virginia Tech. Making their ability to take punitive action retroactively! They recently fines another school for their handling of some sexual assaults in 2007. Once established as a regulatory agency with police powers they will be firmly entrenched in the government and will never go away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-44611554772625004252011-09-22T08:25:15.020-04:002011-09-22T08:25:15.020-04:00Screwels of despair and not much else, until it...Screwels of despair and not much else, until it's payday.

Oodles of information for anyone with even a slight auto-didactic bent. Just imagine, you and another motivated teacher, structuring a curriculum around such a site, can do wonders to reverse the trend you see in public schools. Heck, get some homeschooling types involved and you may have some serious potential on hand.Monkey Kingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-74774296837027819582011-09-20T19:28:10.634-04:002011-09-20T19:28:10.634-04:00I agree with a lot of your points- and I am a teac...I agree with a lot of your points- and I am a teacher!A Conservative Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310613238755513162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-73375108430432516592011-09-20T10:11:22.226-04:002011-09-20T10:11:22.226-04:00The absence of a "light bulb" moment.
