Issue of the week: Education

Really sorry about not posting for a month, guys. To make it up for you, I've decided to do.....(drumroll,please) Issue of the week!! Okay, so this week's issue is.... Education.
Loads of political figures say that they know the most about education, and that they will do the job well. But the truth is that they don't have to go through what they've created. So some kid could step up and tell them what the heck it's like: a Hydra. For those of you that do not dabble in Greek mythology, it's a many headed snake that once you cut off a head, two grow back in its place. And unless you had a blowtorch, fighting it was a suicidal mission. Well, the education system is like a thousand-headed Hydra.The settling is frustrating gifted students like Becca and I. (Becca was the first follower. Go Becca!) When I have a letter due, I write four paragraphs of information about the book I read. Someone else could write one measly paragraph and still get the same grade as me. I'm really quite honestly sick of it. I try extremely hard to get a good grade, and then someone walks up, hands in a letter with ONE STINKING PARAGRAPH AND GETS THE SAME GRADE AS ME.
Let's talk about Literature Circle. We're reading A single Shard right now. I already finished the whole darn book. But my teacher and the curriculum are making us read it at a slow pace. I need something to read that is at my level, not at a fourth graders or other classmates. I would like to read something that has larger words than noxious and endeavor. I want something that will make me think and make me wonder.
Because of this my parents want to send me to a school that will challenge me (aka a private school). If my parents are going to send me to private school, they would STILL pay the school taxes to Wissahickon School District to "educate me" when I'm not even there! How ridiculous is that? The whole stinkin' state of Pennsylvania is doing this. And you know what? We have to pay the tuition to the private school after THAT! You doubters might be saying," Where's your solution?" Oh, don't you worry about my solution. I've got one, and the only thing YOU need to worry about is a new comeback. My solution? Vouchers. That's when Wissahickon school district gives BACK THE COST OF EDUCATING A STUDENT TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL THAT IS ACTUALLY EDUCATING THE STUDENT. What a CAPITAL idea! Oh, great. Now you've got me talking like an England junkie.
Here's a quote from the actual Tom Corbett website about his stance on education: "Tom Corbett believes that one of the most important priorities we face is education reform and the quality of education that our children receive in order for them to compete in the global marketplace. He believes that every child in Pennsylvania, regardless of their zip code or economic status should have access to the best education possible. Tom Corbett is a believer in early child hood education and is a supporter of school choice, including: charter schools; private schools; cyber charter schools; Earned Income Tax Credit program and home schooling. He believes that our schools should be staffed by the most effective educator force in the nation and that education funding is met with high standards and accountability in Pennsylvania’s schools."

P.S. If there's anyone who reads this blog (because I know that not many do), you can come up with a list of questions RELATED TO POLITICS that I'll answer in the next post.

More complete intro

Hi. I'm REALLY sorry about the first intro. That was kind of short, I know. Well, as we speak, I'm in the Tom Corvette/ Jim Cawley headquarters in Ambler. This is my blog about little-known conservative vs. progressive political races(and as you can guess, I'm on the conservative side). By the way, if you're a liberal and feel like I'm a hatemonger or something and that you won't ever change your mind, you can go and preach to whoever the heck you want, but you can't throw me off of blogger for blogging in a conservative way. It's officially protected by the first amendment of the Bill of Rights. Yet another bill that you're trying to shred into a million pieces. To the conservative crowd, tell your friends. Urge them to tell their friends. Spread the word!
