The John Palm Show

They (being the powers that be) are demanding that we add more hours to the school day. Surley this must be the problem. Not enough of a bad thing.

You can’t get to excellence by simply adding more mediocrity.

It’s hard work to dig in and look for root causes versus external symptoms. For heavens sake… doctors don’t even do that anymore. Don’t get me started on how the medical profession has slipped into the muck of mediocrity. It seems that all doctors do is prescribe treatments (read pills) that will (hopefully) relieve external symptoms without too many nasty side effects (read nausea, rashes, diarrhea, brain hemorrhage, etc, etc). And that, my friends, is exactly what the school system fixer uppers are attempting with their plan to add hours to the school day.

There’s no pill for that!

What will they do with the extra time? Add feel good curriculum targeting spiritual and emotional development. So here we are, the same failed (failing) system is not happy messing up the 3 R’s. Now they want to bring mediocrity to your children’s spiritual and emotional life.

What’s the root cause of the school system failure? Lack of parenting. Not parenting skills, just parenting time.

Time. Time. Time. Time with your kids.

Don’t let them take any more of that away. Step up and reclaim that time with your kids.

There are no second chances.
