Jen, I think it's probably several different groups pulling for different reasons but having the same result. The teacher's unions are for the "children", but actually are for job security and featherbedding their own nests. Look at the reading fiasco; phonetics has been teaching chidren to read for millenia, but our wise Educrats , who know better than we, declared "see and know" the way to go. You and I use S&E; I don't have to sound out many words, because I know them. That wasn't the case when I was in the first grade. The result is several generations of students who can't read the newspaper. The Ed. guys at the heights want more money for their empires. Er, scratch that. For their "children". Politicians use ed money for buying votes; for showing their sheep that they "care". It's funny. The black politicians scream about that symbol of evil, the Confederate battle flag, but have no problem with the millions of black (and white) chidren who can't fill a job application out after 12 years in the gov't schools. Then there are some who think, and I agree, that the dumbing down of the US population has a much more sinister cause. It's very simple...undereducated people are easier to lead. The US system really kicks in when a kid scores high on the SAT's. They are invited to the ivy leagues. If a young person can demonstrate high intellect, he's invited to enter the upper levels of our society, where he is groomed to help rule us. I'd better stop now; I'm getting out of hand!
