Who blamed it on the Right? They take no responsibility for anything that doesn't work. That is somebody else's fault
Education is a choice. If an effort isn't made. it doesn't happen.
Ironic how personal responsibility cuts both ways.

This is getting just a tiny bit asinine folks. An 8th grader is not exactly well versed in the concept of individual responsibility. Neither would a 1st grader or any other grade for that matter. Very few kids have a natural thirst for knowledge. The rest have to be pushed along oft times kicking and screaming to literacy.
When parents abdicate their authority to a Teacher whose goal is not to educate but to increase his.her earnings through activism in the NEA or AFT then we get what we have now. We end up with SLOTH, from administrators, teachers, guidance counselors, parents and then we act surprised that our kids are emulating the adults around them.
So if you're out fornicating, adulterating and procreating as a married couple without birth control you'd best be ready for a "Little Billy" or 3 to become a part of your life for the next 18 to 25 years or so. Additionally you better prepare the little prick to survive and hopefully thrive in this world as he's going to be the one paying YOUR Social Security.
It may or may not take a village to raise a child. However I can sure as hell tell you that if you leave the development of your child in the hands of teacher with conflicting objectives you will be sorely disappointed. A teacher today is beholden to the NEA, Local School Board, uncaring parents and finally the child and whether he/she learns anything.
Being a public school teacher is often a thankless job. However you have to look at the position they're in and ask why did they allow it to become this way?

Look like you did big time Dog......but..but....but...
Need I say anymore, Dog?
Education is not a choice, it is a government mandate from local through federal levels.
So where does stupidity come in? Detroit schools for for example?
Funny, the law firm of Duck,Dodge and Hyde are democrats............

My first hand experience, having raised four kids, is not consistent wth yours. Parenting makes a difference, but kids have a natural curiousity about the world. Why? is part of their vocabulary.
I have also fought with school districts. The kids had good, and bad teachers. Not from split allegiance between education and unionism, more of a Will to Power.
The battles were with administrators determined to preserve the status quo (administrators are not union). Why no gifted program? We never had one.
You are right, not in a Delldude way, that parents make a difference. The decision makers charged with, and paid well for, the responsibility for effective schools are the administrators. They would rather preserve the status quo than do their jobs.
Our kids are alright. They learned personal responsibility was a duty. Pointing fingers at others for failure was not.
But with that said.....Left always takes credit happily for things that have no chance of surviving.
Sure you aren't talking about DNC?
