Mr. Fletcher’s article hits the nail right on the head but
he fails to mention even more burdens currently placed on public education. Career
awareness, dental exams, financial literacy, individualized special education
programs, work study programs, drug alcohol and smoking prevention, obesity
prevention, scoliosis testing, diversity training and preparation for a myriad of
standardized testing all of which are
foisted on public schools throughout the year.
Then, to add insult to injury, public officials chose to malign,
vilify, punish and attempt to turn the public away from the teachers who are
assigned these herculean tasks.
P.S.
I have started a petition pertaining to one of my pet
peeves. You can see it at the top of the right hand sidebar. Please take a look
and if you agree please sign it and pass it on to a friend or relative of like
mindedness. Thanks.
