Comments about ‘Senator: Parents should hit the books with kids’

What? They'd have to turn off the TV!

I tend to like the Republican platform, but I have to say that Pat Jones is 100% dead on, right on the money with these comments.

Studies have borne out one fact over and over: The single greatest factor in a child's educational success is not school funding, new textbooks, higher-paid teachers, or lunch programs - it is how involved the parent is with the child's education.

And parents went through the same schools as their children.

Proves that standardized testing, cooperative learning, hands on, grouping, new math, etc, are strategies which don't work.

Worfs studies:

Micro-managed students lacking independence, is not education.

Look at our welfare lines. Not the result of an educated public.

Educated people don't vote in leaders who create sixteen trillion dollar debts.
