His big plan to do this earlier failed that he was hoping would change laws to have him stay in power for life like any socialist tyrant. <br /><br />He will take plan B since Plan A did not work out unless something drastic like an executive order to legalize all illegals occurs and that is anticipated before his term is out. <br /><br />We already see his endangerment of America with his lethargic pullout of Iraq and Afghan plus allowing ISIS to formulate and grow into a world threat culminating into the beheading of 2 American media specs plus 100s of US traitors fighting for these radical islamic killers.<br /><br />The enemy within has attempted to destroy US nukes and reduced US military strength to pre WW2 levels. <br /><br />Clearly this is all an effort to change every facet of America reducing its military might and influence by this radical socialist muslim in chief while loading it up with millions of illegal lawbreakers and a back breaking national debt. <br /><br />America is in grave danger with this failed blast from the past Karl Marxist liberal not only destroying America while demoralizing it with homosexuality but redistributing its income. <br /><br />A very real evil threat exists for this nation in the next 2 years with the ISIS situation that was clearly negligence and incompetence or worst intentional.<br /><br />CONSERVATIVE HERITAGE FOUNDATION <br />WASHINGTON DC <br /><br />cc broadcast 50 states cities over 25k<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-10081558357981689582014-09-26T07:54:52.989-04:002014-09-26T07:54:52.989-04:00according to CMS employment, still 269 teacher vac...according to CMS employment, still 269 teacher vacancies and 121 non instructional vacancies.

CMS added 6th grade this year so the 3rd graders go to lunch at 10:55 (dismissal is at 3:45) and 4th graders are in trailers right next to the public parking lot. The doors to the school are locked so the kids can't freely use the rest rooms without it being a hassle. So much for all that money spent on security upgrades. But the 6th graders have a shiny new dance classroom inside the building.

It is both foolish and unfair to compare our public education to the schools in countries such as Finland. Such comparisons need to stop because it is pointless and ignores the obvious.<br /><br />Schools are a reflection of the type of people who attend them, Finland doesn't have a population like ours, thus their schools appear to be better. <br /><br />Think about it for a moment, which school is going to perform better, a school composed primarily of middle class families with both a mother and father in the home. Or a school composed of mostly single parents, mostly in poverty, where the single parent is barely literate themselves. <br /><br />why do we continue to blame teachers and schools for the moral breakdown in certain communities?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-58638809503662154262014-09-22T20:14:54.261-04:002014-09-22T20:14:54.261-04:007:01

Bulling is almost non-existent because it is so cool to be a good, kind student rather in this country the "cool" kids are usually the bully that everyone wants to follow. <br /><br />We have a lot of problems in this country one is the disrespect of public education on a huge scale, multiple levels even from the wealthy sending their students to private schools.
