Enough Already

We entrust our teachers with the safety of the children of this country in addition to asking our nation's finest to educate our youth. This is as it should be. That being the case, it is time that local, state, and federal government bodies get out of the way of our nation's educational system.

Often the above government agencies create all sorts of accountability measurements and standards typically through all myriad number of standardized testing instruments. Let me be clear...every darn teachers who cares about kids realizes what it means to be held accountable. Their methods of being 'held accountable' are far more meaningful than those imposed from above.

Let local superintendents, principals, assistant principals, departments chairs, and teachers run their own affairs. It's time to restore both the integrity and system of educating our youth by putting it back in the hands of the professionals.
