Penry Plan Wins Approval On Pupil Performance Testing



Here's something I'm certain you haven't heard much about. Story link here.

There are three big reasons for this; first it doesn't involve our endangered species Democrat, Mr. Buescher who like the kangaroo mouse is seen to be worth saving at all costs by some of our local media. Although like our fuzzy little friend it's difficult to explain why.

Secondly, it involves Republican Senator Penry, who the same people are afraid is going to accomplish too much.

And lastly, because it has something to do with establishing standards in the educational process.

As anyone who has not been living in a hole for the past year and a half knows every single thing that involves spending money in this legislature seems to be tagged to educating little Johnny.

What we have of course received for our money is little Johnny's and Jenny's who don't read very well but to make up for it, are increasingly violent and sexually adventurous.

Given the recent results,it would seem the relationship of funding to educational performance is an inverse one.

That may not actually be true as it is more likely related to those that are telling the teachers how to use their resources and time.

Just remember the watchwords of modern education "It's Better to Feel Good Than to Be Good".

So don't forget, no matter how bad things are, how little you get for your money, how much of it the left takes and how little it helps actual students; it's for the children.
