The Education Wars: More About "Tuckerism"

Kids will now be tracked, and those who can "pass" 12th grade-level work in 10th grade will be "allowed" to graduate early and attend community college.

Of course this is nothing but an attempt to force more kids out of school to save money, and, since schools will up the ante in what is required to graduate and force kids to learn more curricula at an earlier and inappropriate age, more kids will be pushed out of school altogether. They will NEVER be able to have a right to go to college.

These "reformers" like Gates want to fucking TRACK students, and people like Gates and Tucker and Broad have NO fucking concept about education.

And then there is this: The MISSION of high schools is in large part to prepare students for VOCATIONS NOT requiring a college degree. Gates and company want to abuse the community college system as vocational ec training program. MOST jobs do NOT require ANY education beyond high school, yet this fucker wants to pervert the mission of high schools to be nothing but elite little academies like he went to before attending--and dropping out of--Harvard.

There needs to be MORE vocational education in HIGH SCHOOL--NOT LESS.
