What Meathead wants from you

Rob Reiner thinks he knows what's best for everyone's kids and it will cost some money out of certain taxpayers.Reiner is pushing an authoritarian plan for California:

Reiner's initiative would create standardization where now there is parental choice. It would insist on bachelor's degrees and credentials for teachers — and require, insanely, that they be paid on par with high school science and math teachers, though there's little evidence that the education or expense is necessary. It would not raise test scores. And it would almost certainly push more and more academic work into the laps of younger and younger children.

Reiner's preschool utopia would force the state to set "content standards." and take oversight on such matters as whether to read "Pet the Bunny" or "Goodnight Moon" away from parents and preschools and hand it to education officials.

One wonders if Reiner and his friends really support public education.If they did they might send all of them to the public schools.LA Times
