Romney has a very mixed message on education of our children.

The idea funding can be linked to the student is populous and won't work. A school system cannot be a student of one and expect to deliver a quality education. School systems operate as democracies do with collective interests in our Brain Trust, good to excellent outcomes and a joint effort through common treasuries to achieve what ONE cannot do alone.

His vision is wrong. It is wayward in that it seeks to incentive our collective classrooms with a traditional understanding, while decentralizing funding for our schools destroying delivery of higher qualities of education.

The USA has never turned out CLONES of an ideal in any educational paradigm. So to believe demolishing our system by dividing up funding to whatever idea parents and students have as ideal is nonsense.

There are plenty of private schools of varying themes across this country. My oldest son attended a private school. It was his choice. We did not receive a subsidy from the public educational system to send him there. It was the decision of the family to allow him his dream come true. My youngest son liked being at home, although he missed his older brother at times, and he attended the public school where he received attention to his needs and received a very good education.

The idea students are connected to funding individually is only hurting our brain trust and not improving it. The quality of our education has to come through reform that works, not destroying the classroom into individual paradigm of ideals that will never serve the best interest of the student or their country.

Romney loves talking down at the Poor. He states it is the parents that are the problem to the failure of schools. He believes, although not stated, that poor people are stupid people. Not in all cases. If anything I can look at him and his peers and the failure of their businesses, the chronic bailouts and the loss of American jobs to outsourcing to know who the real failures are. If he is going to open up a paradigm whereby the 'educational system' 'treats' the parent; that means counseling has to occur. That is what Social Services are for. The parents do not need classes to be parents.

In the USA, after over forty years of Republican policies, parents have to hold down two to three jobs to support their children. That is especially true in the Southern USA. The reason is low wages and long work hours. Those dynamics remove parents availability to their children. It is wrong. Building a strong Middle Class of good wages is the only way children will have parents AVAILABLE to help with the homework. If a child is overwhelmed by school because he / she assists with their younger sibling or spends most of their young years raising themselves with the 'image' of their parents wishes in their heart, that child will not succeed in a way that is meaningful to their future.

The answer to failing schools also lies in understanding the failing Middle Class, the loss of good paying jobs and QUALITY OF HOMELIFE as a means to an economy we all understand and value. Romney's ideas remove the quality of education, the quality of life in the Middle Class and assign government interventionism with adults as a means of improving children's performance. It is ideological, removed from reality and unattainable.
