<quoted text>you got that, what amazes me is the different educational requirements & Standards from state to state which I can see why people think the way they do.

That was over years ago. States are all working towards national standards and will be ready to start transitioning once those national standards have been established.

Btw-Once the National Standards are secured, ALL schools, private and public, will have to conform to demands to prove their students are achieving these standards. That is when the scam of the private school is going to hit the fan big time.

I feel inadequate now that I know my public education was flawed so severely. I wasn't aware that college level calculus was "very little math", we offer dual credit and college prep courses in an array of math fields, in conjunction with many area public high schools.
We also offer a number of dual credit "History" classes, I'm assuming that's a proper noun and I'm just unfamiliar with the utilization, much like the capitalization of "Public". But again I'm just "Public" school educated, so please forgive my ineptitude.
If you could offer us corrections on where we have "made up History" I will pass that information onto my colleagues as well, so we can put corrections into our text books immediately. I feel we are failing as instructors.
Thank you again

You know, many public schools in smaller cities and towns offer a great deal, require a great deal and provide a super education to those who attend. It seems that many large cities have students whose parents move in the middle of the night, students who do not apply themselves to anything but getting out of work, cutting class, and disrespecting themselves and any adult in their area. The differences and scores are striking. If we lived in a huge city, I'd home school rather than enroll my children in public school.

One of the best actions our local BOE made several years ago was to limit the K and 1st grade class size to reasonable and teachable numbers. The material covered and mastered increased as did the confidence and later state assessment scores. I wasn't strongly in favor of it initially, but listened, watched, researched, and changed my mind based upon facts.

Of course there are inept schools in some areas. It's incorrect to "assume" that all are like Chicago or NY or ... large inner city schools.

It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.

It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s.

Preemptive strike, or projection bias as the psychologist would term their tactic.

. Hate or racism is oozing from their rants but most of them won't admit
As I can't prove racism, I'll just settle for hateful rhetoric toward the Negro president.

Thanks for pointing out their nonsense.

its still that way, I know somebody who's kid when they moved out of state back to where they were orginally from had to take and make up classes just to graduate High School because the state she moved from had a lower educational standard than the state where her parents where orginally from, problem here again is state rights.

I'm not sure which private school you attended, to secure your education in government? Would you please enlighten me, so I can direct some of my faculty colleagues in that direction, to further their education?
They will no doubt be dismayed to learn that what they have been teaching is not government. Please also inform me if this oversight includes all PoliSci classes or just those specific to economics.
I'm also concerned that we only have liberals attending our public universities, please let me know where this factoid came from, so I can inform our conservative students that they are no longer welcome on our campus.
I'm afraid that maybe the facts sometimes interfere with some of our students conservative beliefs as freshman, and they are forced to become liberals before we will offer them a diploma, maybe this is the confusion?
Thank you for your consideration,

Tell you what Einstein, post your lesson plan somewhere and link it. Let's see what you call government. Very few today know the constitution, what is the separation of powers and the duties and limitations of the three branches. Post your lesson plan and lets see what ya got. By the way, you have only till today to post it, which should be a problem since you are already teaching it.

he plans global world war and much money for global speculators. Surely, realizing his plans will destroy country.
Ron Paul is the only normal candidate there, who will care about prosperity in USA and who will care about peace by ending wars and peaceful changes in foreign politics of usa. The only one is RON PAUL.

While closing U.S. factories, sending our jobs to China and promising to remove food stamps from the unemployed, the elderly and the disabled in order to make room for more billionaire tax-cuts , Romney is siding with crooked Bankers who brought the fraud and meltdown upon us. Today, Romney kicked the Media out to hold a secret session with Bankers

Your nose is growing, Pinochio!

The U.S. government has sent millions of jobs to China through it's policy of taxing and regulating industry out of existence. Romney has actually saved U.S. jobs, when a business was viable and the jobs could be saved.

Romney has not promised to take "food stamps" from anyone. But you lefties do appear to be very proud that so many people have become dependent upon them.

Obama had two years of a rubber stamp congress. Exactly what did he and congressional Democrats do to curb so-called "crooked bankers"?

Please cite your source that indicates where Romney "kicked the media out to hold a secret session with bankers." Otherwise, it didn't happen.

If all the left has is lies which can easily be proven so, you've lost already.

A little late to the party, dude. Does the news move that slowly over there?

Ron Paul isn't even running for President anymore.

It would be pretty humorous if President Romney appointed Paul as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, though.

keep reading your Comic Books but Wrong again. Hitler was a darling of the 'Right' and he loved showing it. What comic books do you read for educational purposes kid?

Nearly all of Hitler's beliefs placed him on the far right.

To most people, Hitler's beliefs belong to the extreme far right. For example, most conservatives believe in patriotism and a strong military; carry these beliefs far enough, and you arrive at Hitler's warring nationalism. This association has long been something of an embarrassment to the far right. To deflect such criticism, conservatives have recently launched a counter-attack, claiming that Hitler was a socialist, and therefore belongs to the political left, not the right.

Far-right politics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politi...

Nazism

National Socialism (common English short form Nazism, German: Nationalsozialismus) was the ideology of the Nazi Party and Nazi Germany. It is a variety of fascism that incorporates biological racism and antisemitism.

Nazism used elements of the far-right racist völkisch German nationalist movement and the anti-communist Freikorps paramilitary culture that fought against the communist revolutionaries in post-World War I Germany.

The ideology was designed to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism. The Nazis' paramilitary organization, the Sturmabteilung (SA) engaged in physical attacks on its opponents, including communists, Jews, and social democrats. The Nazis promoted German territorial expansionism to gain Lebensraum ("living space") for German settlers

'Because of the dominating, and persistent, concern of American politics with the U.S. federal deficit and the U.S. economy, the theme of this semester is “Policy Issues Surrounding the Federal Budget Deficit.� I am fired up! I have reorganized this course so that we cover essential background material (my “15 key concepts� and “Webber’s Five Tools of Policy Analysis�) in four weeks so that we can focus the remainder of the semester on the federal budget deficit and the growing national debt. This semester will coincide with the recently appointed Congressional Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction (aka “the Super Committee�) that is to propose budget changes by November 23.
Usually this course reviews a variety of substantive policy issues and existing public policies but we will take a more narrow focus this year. Public policy is "an intentional course of action undertaken by a government official or institution for resolving an issue of public concern." Policy analysis examines how policies are proposed, adopted, implemented, and evaluated. We will identify the major institutional and political actors shaping public policies most directly affecting the federal budget, discuss criteria for evaluating the performance of the policy process, and assess a variety of alternative budget proposals.
This course seeks to balance the theoretical (so your knowledge can grow and prepare you for future discussion, education, and public decisions) and the immediately practical (so you can better understand the difficulties in making sound public policy). Since many political observers have questioned whether we have sufficient knowledge to revitalize the economy, to increase the effectiveness of public expenditures, and to anticipate the future problems that public policy must deal with, this course focuses on an important subject.
The major objectives of PS 4320 are:
1. To examine the basic language of policy analysis
2. To examine several models and chief characteristics of the policy process;
3. To consider criteria for evaluating the performance of U.S. public policy;
4. To identify the major institutional and political actors shaping the U.S. national budget;
5. To examine the history, contributing factors, and current alternatives for reducing the federal budget deficit; and
6. To improve students’ analytical and writing skills.'

Since my classes are graduate level and contain information that may not
be readily understood by many other than yourself, I've posted a small section of a 400 level undergrad course syllabi. I thought maybe the topic would be of interest, it is to most.

You of course can find all of our information at:

politicalscience.missouri.edu

Or stop by the campus, or look at our online class opportunities.

You should look at PS1100, although I'm sure you already know all the information the class contains, you may find it of interest also.

The burden of proof seems to keep falling to me, although you are the person making the accusations about our public school systems inadequate education. If you have a higher understanding of how our legal and governmental institutions work, you must know the burden of proof in a valid argument, falls to the accuser or initiator of the statements.

Please tell me where your private education came from? I have asked once, and you have just made statements about our public schools, never defended yours. Do you not feel that you can actually defend your education? Or espouse one fact, that raises it's philosophy above that of our public institutions.

We have graduated state and national senators, house members, governors and political figures at all levels, democrat and republican, conservative and liberal. Including Missouri's current governor. Who other than yourself Has your school graduated?
