If Public Schools Were a Business, All of Top Management Would Be Fired by Bruce Deitrick Price

If it wasn’t so tragic, it would be comical. Our schools seem to be run by Italian cruise ship captains.

In a society, where everyone is immersed in language and surrounded by words, we somehow manage to have an illiteracy crisis pef. Recent government tests show that two-thirds of the kids entering middle school are below "proficient" in reading. This country has 50 million functional illiterates. Furthermore, SAT scores are falling. American students don’t compete well against students from other countries, even though we spend vastly more per student than almost everybody else HP ML Tower Server.

Movie Review: "Constantine" by Zachary Mandell

Rating: R (violence and demonic imagery)
