Question #1:
Don't you find it odd that with all of the technological advances in this country, since the industrial revolution, that the literacy rate is now lower than it was in pre-industrial days? What could possibly be the explanation for such digression?

Question #2:
Don't you find it odd that with all of the publicized, researched, and highly acclaimed “fixes” for our poor school performances, that the ship is still sinking? Economically the United States is number one in the world, while Math, Science, Language and Literacy rates are way down the list when compared to other countries.

Question #3:
Could it be, that all the promises of our federal and state governments to “leave no child behind” are simply window dressing designed to make you think that they are really trying to put our children back on the road to success? Think about it. New “patches” each year from supposedly intelligent leaders, yet a steady decline and very little rebound. How is that possible in such an elite, civilized society?

Question #4:
Could it be that all the window dressing is a facade for keeping your children dumbed down. If so, the government can keep a steady supply of drop-outs, drugged and slow kids, usually labeled as resource, learning disabled, bi-polar, ADD, ADHD, autistic, etc. to populate corporate America as burger flippers, Wal-Mart clerks and stock boys, oil-field workers, cable-layers, factory workers, and garbage collectors. And after all, blue collar workers are the ones that make corporate America run and make us number one.

Question #5:
Could the president's New Freedom Initiative, which includes a mental screening for all children in school (pre-k to 12th grade) with administration of illness-specific medication, be an intentional ploy to label children for life and thus keep our economic status powerful - especially the drug industry. Are we teaching children to be chronic drug users by making schedule 2 narcotics so readily available even on school campuses? This almost sounds like social engineering. Could it be? In America, the land of the free?

Question #6:
Why does Thimerosal (mercury) continue to be placed in most mandated vaccines for children? This substance has been linked to many of the learning disabilities of children. As a matter of fact these learning disabilities were quite rare until thimerosal produced heavy metal poisoning in children who whose bodies, for one valid reason or another, are unable to excrete these heavy metals as rapidly as they should. In fact, the CDC has a whole department set up that deals solely with mercury poisoning and the resulting illnesses caused by mandated vaccines. Why do you think that is? Is there a safer alternative? Then why not use it? It might be to protect doctors giving the vaccines who get a kick-back from the drug companies making the vaccines. Again, let's keep America number one in the world - economically - at all cost!

Question #7:
Do we pay the government (taxes) to be the parents of our children. Are we abdicating our God-given responsibility? If so, then they - the various government entities - don't make very good parents. Big Brother will not win any awards for parenthood! The first six questions show you why. Need more proof? ALL of public education, including the new Quality Rating System programs to launch public daycare, are geared toward welfare children and those with learning disabilities. Why do you think so many children are so bored in school? All the teacher can do now is teach and practice (over and over) the LEAP or competency tests. If the kids don't score well, the schools will lose federal dollars and their schools can be federally taken over. Government rather than PARENT leadership is why our country is in such an educational mess. The boat is sinking and there is no fix for the current system. The Public School System is like a big PIG who is so overstuffed that its legs can no longer hold it up. It is crawling along at a pre-historic, archaic pace. Compulsory Public Education is the largest employer in the U.S. Public Schools will soon be the largest mental health institution in the U.S. Can you imagine the jobs and the corporations (including the makers of standardized tests) that would be “infected” if parents stood up and said “NO MORE”! The U.S. has its own Weapons of Mass Destruction - they are called Compulsory Public Schools! A parents revolt might start the next Depression, but at least we would have our kids back!
