Corrupt education environment and its effects.

[DESCLAIMER: I TRIED TO WRITE THIS ESSAY INMY CAB. MY LAPTOP BATTERY KEP RUNNIG OUT. HOWEVER, IT IS NOW COMPLETE. I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE] Today, I will discuss how the human spirit effects our life and the public education environment.

In my opinion, in order to discuss public education you must discuss the people of public education. There are regular run of the mill people who come to do a good job and go home feeling good about them selves. There are also angry ugly people who want to push thier liberal politics on everyone. In addition, there are people who have been knocked around by life, are trying to do the best they can, and wondering what is wrong with the rest of us crazy loons. Moreover, there are the self-pormoters who network in order to keep getting promotions and bigger paychecks.

All of us have been through the modern world with no God and have suffered for it. Our depression, angst, discomfort, lack of sense of purpose, and inability to enjoy and reviece pleasure from life comes from not knowing God and not knowing our place in His' plans.

This results in very insecure, unsure, traumatized, hurting, and violent people. These are the people surrounding your children in the public school system. Worst these are the people who are parents. I did not say these are the people parenting. Many people are parents but do not know how to be a parent.

Now, what do you think happens to chilren who only have people with serious emotinal problems and a very immature perspective on life around them. Well, they become very disobedient and antogonostic. Children are trouble because there are not people showing them the right behaviors.

Before, I stopped being a sub-teacher I noticed that the good kids with good grades would mishave just so the bad kids would not abuse them. To me this means these kids did not have confidence in their parents and the other adults in their lives to help them not be beat up or verbally harassed for just being good kids.

Therefore, we have a very sick system, with sick people, trying to educate even more sick children. The question I have is "why are you allowing your children to subjected to this public education world?" Don't your children deserve more than this kind of treatment?

Principals are affraid of the voices of the screaming parent saying it is not my kid, when it really is their kid. These school authorities therefore, do not punish the bad kids. In public education, the bad kids are running the asylum.

Now, I will speak on the issue of the condition of life. It is bad and it is only going to get worse. All the needs that were not met during your developing years have left you with lots of hang ups. These hang ups cause serious emotional pain (ie angst). Therefore, though we want to be good people and follow good rules our fears and pains overwhelm us and we end up doing counterproductive behaviors, such as fighting with our bosses. Of course, to me the big question is "is there a fix for the problem?" I unfortuantely am of the opinion that for the remainder of the human experience we will not be able to count on systems, such as public education, post office, and homeland secuirty. The worse the human condition gets, the more systems become disfunctional. After all these systems are made of people. However, there is a fix. No matter what life hands you, you are still in charge. You choose to puruse the negative pessimistic road or a positive, healthy and optomistic direction. I have noticed that most of our turmoil comes from not being satisfied with what we have and not living as we were meant to live. It has been a long time since I have praised the value of romantic love, family, friends, hobbies, rest and relaxation, vacations, picnics, and host of all kind of stuff that make life stressfree, enjoyable, and pleasant. However, these are the things that make a life a life. Do we struggle? Yes! However, struggling does not mean we cannot enjoy oursleves. This may be a bad way to make a point but many homeless people in El Paso (stink water), Texas have clothe and food and some have shelter. The shelters, social services offices, and regular peole donating provide well for the homeless. Hence even the people who we might consider down out have stuff to be gratefull for in life. As for education and all the other disfunctional systems, we are just going to have to do for ourselves. For a lone time I have been wanting to develop an essay on how all the people dissillusioned with teaching in the public schools could become neighborhood education managers and for a fee help families that want to home school their children but do not feel comfortable with their education level to be responsible for their children's education. Public schools scare a lot people and convince them they are not smart enough to home school their children. The liberals will never allow their grip on public education to be loosened. Therefore, you the individuals are just going to have to withdraw your kids from the public schools and find creative and innovative ways to educated your children. Yes! I will say it again. If I had kids, i would not send them to a public school. The worst thing I observed in a public school was 10, 11, and 12 age girls talking in filthy detail about sex acts with out any remorse or problem that I was in the room. When I asked them to stop these girls responded "Oh, mister go out to the hallway". Now they are children. We adults are the ones that should invest better in them.

I must agree with your take on our government education system....it is a mess.

The reason is that over the years, the philosophy itself has become deeply flawed...

To understand it, a must read is "John Dewey and the Decline of AMerican Education" . You'll get a penetrating critique of whose ideas have destroyed American education. People have no idea what has really been going on behind the scenes. The school curriculum is largely being decided by the unions of the National Education Association and the American Library Association. Add Planned Parenthood and it's easy to figure out why we have kids who don't respect themselves, their teachers and other kids.
