I'm looking forward to seeing the good this committee can do to help get the problems out of the education department; wasteful spending, too heavy administration, get Christianity back into our history books, and the Word of God back into the classrooms.

Harry, thanks for the welcome.

We met at the tax meeting last week at Dwayne Farnsworth home. Thanks for letting me know about your website. I plan on attending the school board meeting Tuesday. This IB curriculum is dangerous to our country, and I believe the Race to the Top is part of Obama pushing IB's curriculum down these states throats who "win" the funds. Arizona should not touch federal funding with a 10 foot poll!

Thanks for the welcome Harry!

Glad to have found you through PhD in IB's TAIB website! I have grandchildren that started attending Frost Elem. and was surprised to learn about IB, particularly the PYP! Hopefully I can make a contribution in restoring our educational system.
Regards,
Daniel

Sorry, that is 'Primary Years Programme' - Social indoctrination for the wee ones.

Really? They don't know anything about IB? That is astonishing! Or is it that none of them believe IB is detrimental?

Hi Harry,
I added a couple rather long blogs. I'm not computer savvy to say the least and am now thinking these two blogs might have served better in the forum section? Should I still do that?

I'm an historyteacher recently retired from the gilbert district. I still teach as an adjunct professor at mcc. in thirty seven years I never used a textbook for anything other than ocaissional reference.I have seen first hand the flaws and failures of the american educational system and am anxious to share with anyone who is looking to seriously improve the state of public education in our country. I was something of a nonconformist in my teaching methods and accordind to most of my students and their parents, pretty successful. during a 3 year period from 1998 to 2001,I taught lessons by request at every school in our district at the direction of our superentendent.300 teachers requested my lessons for 60,000 students. I'd like to share my thoughts and ideas. thanks, glen frakes
