Lampe is wrong on Education

Re: Good Schools equal better State
I could not disagree with the honorable representative more. If Rep. Lampe had her way we would spend millions more of our school dollars on these "support services". Our Children do not go to school to be psychoanalyzed or socialized. While the items she mentions such as cafeterias and libraries are important, they should in no way replace the in class instruction. Rep. Lampe, when we had dedicated teachers like your mother and one-room classes we had a world class education. However, today we have teachers who are grossly underpaid and instruction that borders on socialism. If we want a better educational system we must first get the federal government out of it by ending the Department of Education now. Second, we must end the governmental indoctrination that takes place and go back to teaching the core subjects like reading, writing, math and history. Lastly, parents must stop letting the government do their jobs and become more involved in their students education. The Governor, while being well meaning, is also going a little far in requiring local schools to follow a prescribed plan. I know the Governor to be well versed on early American history and I am sure he knows the founding fathers would be against such bullying by the government. Schools were always meant to be local entities. So madam representative get your social programs out of our schools and Mr. Governor please reconsider your bully tactics.
