Think we should blame our education system for the lack of leadership within our legislature? After all, “they” are all products of our education system. They bicker, fight and can’t come to an agreement within the allotted time and have to call not one but two special sessions. It must be the teachers’ fault from elementary through high school and even college. The teachers didn’t instill working together, finding solutions and most of all methods on how to set priorities. The teachers didn’t teach them how to add and subtract or the difference between special interest and special needs.
We expect “our” children to behave and take responsibility for their own actions, and yet when “we” become adults we don’t have to? Well legislatures wake up and take responsibility for your actions or more logically your inactions. You call yourselves leaders, but you don’t lead by your actions. You point fingers and say it’s the other party’s fault and refuse to meet deadlines. Well I really think the problem is not with our educational system, but with those who grew up, became politicians and who don’t believe they are actually responsible for funding education. Maybe we should have a special levy for funding the legislature setting time constraints, goals and pay for performance. Your lack of performance would get you fired in the private sector. It’s time most of you grow up rather than just grow older. It’s time to be more concerned about our children than getting reelected or appointed to a cushy consulting job that studies how our education system is failing. Besides most of you aren’t qualified or tough enough to be a teacher.
