[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 3093663, member: 1294"] First off I think the "every child" thing is part of the problem. Next the Vox article made it clear that U.S. teachers make more than in countries that outperform us and that teachers are paid lower than other professions in those other countries also. Narrowly focused on reading, writing, and arithmetic?, things that matter in education, the things needed to go on to higher studies where they can use their creativity(or be proficient in a job)? Maybe there's something else that needs considered here. I notice you're from Lincoln Co., I have friends with kids in Stroud schools, I've seen some of their work and results. Their parents are very happy with the education and their kid's learning, they help when needed because it's not handed to the kids. Their dad went to Tulsa schools and has noted how different it is than there, more straight forward teaching without some of the social engineering extras we seem to hear about in Tulsa, OKC, or large urban schools elsewhere. When the state schools get their report cards where are the majority of failing schools located? Is the mentality of teaching different in rural v. urban schools? [/QUOTE]
