Dear Readers:
I cannot wait until the documentary, "Waiting for Superman" to be released. I have "lived" this documentary. The state of America's educational system is in Stage 4 cancer. Politicians, Oprah, etc.. . . may say that it can be "saved;" however, what is going to happen once Oprah's show ends? Who is then going to be the voice, with $$$, to save our "educational prison?" I cannot imagine my child being given a lottery ball and then PRAYING that his # is called. WTF?!?!/ This is America - the land of hopes, wishes, and dreams?"
I have a serious problem with administrators making $130-150 K a year, and they cannot write a LESSON plan nor lead a classroom discussion on a topic. I have read articles about this very matter. My question is, were many of these administrators given administrative positions as a "reward" for being a "yes man?" How many poor educators have you seen rewarded with administrative positions and salaries?

Parents, it's time that YOU put on your capes and become your own children's "Clark Kent."
