When did homosexuality become a race?

I don't know about Unions destroying education. I'm sure that they don't help. However, being a former teacher in NC for 11 years I can say from my experience that creativity and the ability to be creative has been stripped from teachers. The curriculum and how you will teach the curriculum is dictated to teachers by the local district. The current model is a one shoe fits all philosophy. If the shoe doesn't fit your child teachers have the ability to adapt for your child but only with state approved research based interventions. The point to my rambling is, that it's my opinion, that education is being destroyed by legislation and local administrators that have reduced teachers to nothing more then voices to deliver instruction designed by others. Most of the approved curriculum used in our school system comes boxed with student and teacher material. The teachers materials even include daily lesson plans.
As I said before I taught for 11 years. There are many other variables I could mention that are playing a role in the demise of our public schools and not all of them are internal. I'll just say that a child raised in a home receiving entitlements has a much different outlook on education then one who doesn't, per my experience.
As a North Carolina teacher I can't relate to those of you living in states that have true teacher unions but I can agree that our public schools are in trouble and a lot of teachers know it but have little or no ability to change the system, or should I say systems. A free enterprise approach to education might just be the answer. We already know that a government entitlement approach isn't working.
