EducationNews.org is a good place to go for news about education. It covers a wide range of issues with education and public schools.
Today I found a couple good posts:
Nancy Salvato argues that we have strayed far from the original intent of the founding fathers in Congress Shall Make No Law Respecting an Establishment of an Education System. She is right, at the time our nation was created we had NO public school system. The founding fathers would be appalled by our intrusive public education system.
George Leef covers a topic that many parents aren't aware of in his column Teaching Teachers How Not to Teach. He starts with:
"When Mom and Dad see little Sally’s report card, it probably never occurs to them to wonder how competent her teacher is. Teachers, after all, are professionals. They’re trained in university programs and licensed by the government, so they must be good at their jobs – right."
If you have children in the public school system, you should read about what the teachers were taught.
