   I figured Paige had an iphone or pad, if not an ‘IFruit’ PC he he. I figured there’d be some easy to learn math lessons for dummies on line.

   and they wonder why the Taiwanese, Indian, Korean (etc.) kids are always winning the math, science (and even spelling) events in this country. Disband the NEA, and go to a voucher system for schools. The best schools will prosper, the loser schools (and teachers) will disappear, and the students will benefit. If the kids would ‘occupy’ their text books instead of texting, they might be able to move out of their parent’s home before the age of 30!

   If parents would bother teaching their kids to read, instead of wasting the first 3 years of school on it, then more could be taught about WHAT they’re reading.
   Yes, I know that won’t work for all kids, but just setting them in front of the TV until they’re “ready” for school isn’t working.

   Nope. Everything is serious. And political comments on a farcical comic strip aren’t out of place at all…

   I thought it was a documentary.

   I can see it coming now:

   ARE YOU SMARTER THAN AN IGUANA?

   Funny, the results from the voucher schools don’t back your theory. Maybe if parents would really parent instead of letting the tv do it we might see some improvement, but until some such thing happens it doesn’t matter if the school is public or private, it takes a good home learning situation to get an improvement in education.

   Iguanas are vegetarian: they eat leaves not insects

    The NEA isn’t the problem. Vouchers would destroy the school system for sure. We shouldn’t be closing whole schools because they aren’t passing a stupid test. That is our problem. Teaching to a narrow series of tests. I blame the Republicans and the Democrats for passing that crap legislation “No Child Left Behind.” Old style eugenically based teaching system that is fine for robots, not for children.

    Haven’t you figured it out yet? The message is the important part of it, not the medium.

    These days it takes two parents to work, and it still isn’t enough any more. Fix that first.

    For giggles? I thought Paige hated Quincy. He’s liable to eat her textbook.

    Ironically Paige could do it if she tried. Jason found that out when you put the equation in things Paige finds important like apparel. Paige is good at math.

    Ironic that this new Sunday is about Peter studying for math finals while the classic dailies they’re on now are about Peter NOT studying for finals. Amend or this website must be prescient.
