The Youth of America is being robbed of a proper education

The American youth is being taught how to pass test ,not how to think or learn the subject how they should. America has became a nation of test takers,And not thinkers. And that is the reason why we have fell so far behind other nations in educating our youth. I think The solution is to get rid of all these standardize test That we use. And get back to the real teaching.

This is true but the parents also need to become more involved in their children's lives including scholastically.

It 's parents duty to educate their children and not just depend on the Ed-u-ma-KKKion system. Something is wrong with an education when you spend all those years getting a degree and working for someone else instead of creating business. I think it's call MIS-EDUCATION. First of all we must teach our children 3 books. The scriptures wheather your Muslim ,Hebrew or Christian...second,the Law and third their true History......Their you will find that the Black slaves were hebrews and African History will verify this,OK.

I'm no huge fan of test, esp. standardize test, but I am understranding of its purpose. Nothing worng with testing, but what students lack are test taking tips and strategies. Cannot not only teach test material, but testing strategies on specific subject matter, esp. w/ timed test, which I think needs to be eliminated. APplication, analysis, critical thinking, problem resolution are some of the basics that children are lacking. Working with seniors, they ask some of the most mind/thoughtless questions, so unsure of themselves that they will ask others, instead of analyzing a situation and arriving at a conclusion. So very much work that needs to be done.

Ciao
