Roman for Congress - Education 2nd Part

After the control of education is returned to the States, I hope they go back to the old fashioned way of teaching. Why? Because it worked for over 150 years!

In order to have a good teaching environment, three things are necessary:
1) RESPECT for the education process and the teachers.
2) Parents and parental support.
3) None of the above will work without DISCIPLINE!

I went to school in the late 40's and early 50's. We respected our parents and teachers. If we got bad grades or got in trouble in school, we were disciplined by the teachers and that discipline was supported by our parents. You've probably heard an old timer say that after he was disciplined by the teacher, he was afraid to go home, because he'd get disciplined by his parents.

Yes, we got spanked, paddled and intimidated by the teachers, but we survived! There was no one running to a lawyer about poor Jane or poor Johnny's feelings being hurt. Kids have legal rights today. Back then you weren't an adult and you didn't have rights until you were 18 years old.

Being in a Catholic school, we wore uniforms! We started the day with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. We also wore uniforms which was a form of discipline. I also spent the 5th and 6th grade in a public school and we still started the day with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. No ACLU bothering us back then. We need that type of basic schooling and discipline again today.

Hey, we didn't turn out so bad!
