If you still think that government education is a good thing....


In Gwinnett County Government Schools in Georgia have recently changed the way they grade students from kindergarten to fifth grade. They have decided to reverse A-F system and drop the F.

"A" is now the worst and "D" is now the best. This is a quick break down of the letter grades:
  • A = Anarchy
  • B = Bother
  • C = Cooperative
  • D = Democracy

When they go to Middle School the system changes back to what most of us grew up with. I guess they're trying to prepare the kids for when they actually have to start working to get "the grade". So, when they're failing they don't feel bad.

And let's be honest here. To most teachers, since they're union members, democracy means socialism. After all union members, for the most part, believe it is some one else's responsibility to take care of them. The union or government should set wages, provide healthcare, paid holidays...........

If you love your kids find a way to either home school them or get them in a private school. Make the sacrifices needed. They will be better off, and thank you for it later.

I for one will not allow my children, when I have some, to go to a government school. If I have to work three jobs, live in a trailer, and drive something that just gets me from A to B. That is exactly what I will do.

God bless,

My intelligence is in spite of my education, not because of it.
