I would like to take this opportunity to point out, that the federal education system has only been in place for the last 20 years.
It was meant to raise the bar in educational standards. It has failed miserably... over and over.
Was there public school before this? Yes. Do we need this kind of over sight on a federal level? No. It doesn't work and it is not necessary to send our money ( via taxes ) to them for them to divvy and send back! How ridiculous is that? They are ineffectual.
So remember that they have only been there for 20 yrs. that is not a long time! and also remember that they put there pants on one leg at a time just like you and me.
I am sure that after working in a government agency or being in office eventually they come to expect some deference. But this is a government By the people for the people. Not to the people at the people as I have said before. They are our SERVANTS. Public servants. They are there to be the voice of the masses. Wheather it goes against what they really want or not it is there duty to vote as we vote to represent us to the federal government.
Congress is much like a court room. have you ever gone to court? Traffic ticket maybe? The judge has never seen you before. They have a piece of paper with some numbers and words on it, they ask you some questions and they are short on time. They have only a snap shot of your life. A Polaroid from one part of a day in your life. They cannot know you.
If your congressman is not an effective communicator and does not properly represent your vote then vote them out!
Abolish schools? No. Disband an ineffectual federal department? Yes. In fact it is our duty.
Limited government branched into parts that each need the other and that each have different roles was not an accident it was by design I assure you. Teri
