Maastricht Treaty revisions needed?

But what is your answer to Pete's question?

The answer is more complicated than rallying the masses to contribute more volunteer time to education. Yes, it takes a village... but, we are not that. We are a transient association of disaffected strangers, mostly unwilling to acknowledge or understand the plight of the family next door, and each household navigates the tides of requirements, rules and regulations alone. The modern US is not the America portrayed by Norman Rockwell.

You have to factor in the fact that our educators are union employee's, and so much of the clamor is union noise trying to get more teachers on the payroll, and increase teacher salaries, which thereby promotes the power of the union itself. You need to consider what I wrote about k-12 campus security. And, you need to factor in which tasks being done for our kids are superfluous, and can be eliminated freeing up time, money, and energy for things that are crucial.

Teachers here are doing without textbooks, in favor of getting some popular programs new sport equipment. Things are just wrong in our bureaucratic system. Ad infinitum.
