Governor Chris Christie "Schools" Teacher About The Budget

Muskegon Heights' old Roosevelt Elementary School may graduate from retirement to new role: reading center

Muskegon Heights' old Roosevelt Elementary School may graduate from retirement to new role: reading center MLive.com
"The building that housed the former Roosevelt Elementary School in Muskegon Heights might see new life as an after-school reading center.

If our current schools aren't teaching reading.....well what the heck are they doing?

And why put the same non-teachers in charge of doing the same job they admit they have already failed at?

"It's for the children" just doesn't cut it anymore!

We all know it's "FOR THE TEACHERS" and screw the kids.

New 3D speed bump of girl crossing road that suddenly 'appears' in front of drivers Mail Online

But a school in Canada is using a bizarre 3D optical illusion of a young girl crossing the road to try and make drivers slow down.

Our governments are at war with their own citizens...everywhere!
