There are too many schools in this country where 1/3 of the students
show up to be students,1/3 shows up to hang out and 1/3 doesn't show up.

It's time to separate students into different schools according to their
motivation and to give up the idea that if we spend enough money we can
save everybody.

I don't have the solution, but that has to be the biggest bunch of hooey
I've ever read.

jc,

I have 33 years experience in education. How about you?

I don't need 33 years to have an opinion.


I may have used a pretty broad brush for purposes of brevity,

Damn straight.

but I am right
on target in stating the major problem in education today.

Attendance? Maybe.


I would find it difficult to measure 'motivation'. Opens the doors to way
too much confilct (lawsuits when you segregate based on subjective
measure?), which Iguess could be mitigated with lots of time and money which
would be better poured into educators than more bureacracy, which is what
the conflict mitigation would be.


It is sad, but never the less we can't allow those who don't want to learn
to disrupt those who do.

Agreed.
