You say this, but you know it to be the complete opposite. Have you seen people complaining about minimum wage? Have you seen every one going crazy over the 10-15 dollar an hour proposed Minum wage?
These are million of Americans who most likely did horrible in school, who are now trying to force a raise that they really do not deserve all because they basically did not want to work hard as kids. Now they expect something for nothing.
Not to be rude. I had a minimum wage job, despite the three degrees I have. I worked hard an am now making a lot more. But the point is we have millions upon millions of Americans who barely even pass high school or pass the GED and now you expect them to pass some citizenship test? Why? They are already citizens. Why are kids now days treated any different than kids of the past? What is me knowing the Capital of Puerto Rico going to do for me in life? Do I need to know the 23 President? Did that President do any better of a job as any recent Presidents who are being controlled by Special interest groups and their own interests? We need to teach kids about our country so they can actually vote properly? Does it matter? It is always one or the other Parties and they always do horribly. There really is no point to the Citizenship test other than to make sure that immigrants really truly want to be part of our country, and not just come here to mooch off our Welfare via certain loopholes in our laws.
Citizenship test requirements is probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life! Or not, because I am not in high school and I do not care. Lol, my kids are going to hate it! |
You know, it is kind of sad that you dont realize that all the points you just mentioned are already in the required curriculum students are already taught...
also, it is not the complete opposite. If a student doesnt want to learn, they dont want to learn. Dumbing down the curriculum isnt going to help them any and will only make it worse and less effective for everybody else. They may want to go back later in life and get that education, but until they are willing to put forth the bare minimum effort, they should not be accomodated!
You seem to be against students learning, or being required to learn things. Those points you mention give students a FOUNDATION of knowledge that can be built upon in numerous important ways that can benefit them in many different careers and daily life. You and many others seem to struggle with the relavance of things learned in school, but you fail to grasp that for the most part, the things you learn in school is foundational and is neccessary for future learning and development.
