Voucher Nonsense? How bout . . rejection of failed system!

This book is excellent - gives a good view into the self-indulgent politics of the left and the labor unions that protect teachers from any sort of accountability. The root problem today in education is the Teachers Unions. They extort their demands like a group of terrorists and assure that no teacher can ever be held accountable for results. Thank goodness for No Child Left Behind - we must start forcing accountability onto these socialists like William who reject the idea of a meritocracy. Naturally William tries to fear-monger with Segregationist and Fundamental Christian nonsense - his arguments can't stand on their own merit. Get rid of the NEA and the AFT and we're well on the way to a solution for a failed eduation system that is overly protected by liberals who despise meritocracy and embrace the failed notions of socialism.

Amazing and real eye opening!

One of the most controversial issues ruling the political agendas to is education and the NEA. Education rapid decline over the years is often blamed on the parents and teachers, Greg Moo has different ideas and you might want to pull up a desk and listen.From a background of a high school principal, Moo's first hand look into what the NEA has been and is doing to our education system is simply remarkable.

You'll read about how the NEA blocks any and all legislation that will diminish it power and how it intimidates the teachers.Moo has given you the first in-depth, comprehensive look at why our education system is failing, why we can't makes the needed changes with the NEA in control and what steps must be taken to fix the problems. We have a first rate bestseller and a real eye opener - well done!

A "Must Read"

Every taxpayer in the country should read this book. An excellent resource, it describes in clear detail why our public schools are not able to help prepare our children to meet the demands of their future. As taxpayers, we have lost control of where and how our school's resources are being spent, and it is time for parents, teachers, and community to take action. We must insist that the needs of children take priority over NEA political agendas. We must regain control of our schools if we expect our nation to have a meaningful future.

Wisdom, courage, and hope for our children

This book reflects the hard-hitting truth about why the public school system is failing our children and will understandably anger those responsible. Taxpayers are continually being asked for more money to fund shool programs, and yet our schools continue to decline, along with student test scores. Want to know where your money is really going? Want to know what you can do? Read this book. Then YOU decide how you want your tax dollars spent. In our community last spring, the wealthy and powerful NEA union shut down our schools until their demands for money were met. Our children were used as pawns for their political gain. Our district is still staggering from the financial loss we have suffered, and our mostly low-income and minority students are left with even less of a chance for success. These children are our future. Unless we want to be simply increasing funds for our prison system as a result of poorly prepared students, read this book and find out what you can do to help.
