BloggeRhythms 7/18/2012

After yesterday’s incredibly ridiculous presidential comment, giving government credit for all that entrepreneurial private enterprise has achieved in the nation, I thought we’d reached the bottom of the barrel of mindless babbling's. However, today another completely misguided suggestion by the administration has been added to those already desired or enacted.  
   
According to the Associated Press, the administration “unveiled plans Wednesday to create an elite corps of master teachers, a $1 billion effort to boost U.S. students' achievement in science, technology, engineering and math.”

Now, while on the surface this headline sounds like a desire to improve education in critical subjects, thereby increasing the quality of education, the question I immediately asked myself was: “Why is this needed?”

And the answer’s obvious. The cadre of super teachers is needed because those already in place are worthless. And, what’s more, this isn’t news.

As anyone knows who’s been reading my entries for more than two years, the one subject I’ve mentioned most over that time is the continual degradation and decline in U.S. education. And, as recently as yesterday I pointed about how the incumbent himself might be lacking in basic knowledge, considering some of his uttering's. 

So now, in view of the terrible lacking's in our educational system and the already huge waste of money supporting that cause, instead of confronting the real problem, substandard teachers and overgrown layers of useless bureaucratic cyphers the geniuses in D.C. decide to throw even more good funds after bad.

However, at least today’s idea from the top does have a value, because it clearly refutes the comments made yesterday whereby an attempt was made to steal credit where it simply wasn’t due. Because, if nothing else, this new ridiculous idea proves that this administration in particular has no capability whatsoever to create anything useful at all.

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
