Title: Students Left Needing More
Topic: Education
Discussed by Phyllis Schlafly
with Eagle Forum (www.eagleforum.org)
On the last day of 2015, the longest serving member of President Obama’s
Cabinet, Arne Duncan, quietly stepped down from his official position. The
Washington Post called Arne “the most powerful Education Secretary in U.S.
history.” However, the truth is the Federal Government now provides about ten
percent of the money spent on public schools. Duncan used that money, to an
extent never before, to impose his will on local schools.
Arne Duncan’s departure gives us the perfect opportunity to examine the state of
America’s public schools and the government has only made them worse. Phyllis
Schlafly is here today to details those failures. First, Common Core is
absolutely not helping students perform better – even the teachers hate it!
One of the biggest disappointments in education now is the high number of
students who don’t even know how to read. FACT: Did you know that Phyllis
Schlafly has written several books on how to teach young students how to read?
You can find First Reader here. You can find
Turbo
Reader here.
Phyllis also discusses the endorsement of Hillary Clinton by two national
teacher organizations. Hillary has promised to shut down under-performing
schools, but how can she if the teachers support her? Phyllis says, “If she
closes under-performing schools, she’d be closing most of the schools!” Isn’t
that the truth?
Phyllis closes the interview by urging parents – and all voters – to be vigilant
when it comes to voting for candidates, especially President. Know who they are
and what they stand for. “The big fight is within in the Republican Party,” she
says. And above all – go to your precinct convention on election night, get
elected to your Senatorial convention, state convention, and national
convention. Use your voice for good!

Title: When to Opt Your Kid Out of School Activities
Topic: Education
Discussed by Eric Buehrer
with Gateways to Better Education www.GoGateways.org
Part 1 of 2
The new school year is in full-swing. I’m sure your
younger child has come home with a folder full of information about upcoming
events and activities to participate in. If your children are older, in junior
or high school, you might have received an email from the administration office.
It’s nearly impossible to read all the information and decipher what is
acceptable and what is not.
Many parents are not sure how to respond when they are confronted with something
at their child’s school that they don’t necessarily agree with. Some are fearful
their child might be bullied or looked down upon if they complain. Some don’t
want to be viewed as “that parent”. Some parents don’t even realize
they have the right to say no!
Eric Buehrer encourages parents to stand up for their beliefs and let their
voice be heard. First, he says to pick your battles: Is it really that bad? Ask
others to evaluate the situation with you. Oftentimes an outsider will help the
situation seem clearer. Also, make sure your facts are correct. Sometimes your
kid says one thing, but it is really something altogether different.
Listen to the next segment with Eric as he shares some more tips for parents.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - When to Opt Your Kid Out of School Activities
Topic: Education
Discussed by Eric Buehrer
with Gateways to Better Education www.GoGateways.org
When questioning something taught at your child’s school, Eric tells
parents to pay close attention to the teacher. Is he/she showing a
bias toward what information is being taught? Is the teacher being fair or
sharing too much of their own opinion?
Sometimes children should be completely opted out of the activity and other
times it is a great opportunity for parents to teach their children a lesson in
discernment. Openly discuss the information being taught with your child and
encourage him/her to give their opinion and ask questions.
Inquire how long the subject or activity will be taught. The longer the subject
is taught, the stronger the effect will be on your child. The worst thing you
can do is let your child receive one-sided information from a teacher who may
not have the same morals and values you do.

Title: Character Education
Topic: Education
Discussed by State Rep. Dwayne Bohac
with State Rep. Dwayne Bohac (www.Bohac.com)
Albert Einstein once
said: “Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great
scientist. They are wrong: It is character.” State
Representative Dwayne Bohac says too many kids are simply not up to par when
they graduate because they have not been taught “character traits”. He points
out, “It’s not about the money; it’s about the character.”
The infusion of traits like self-discipline, persistence, gratitude, optimism,
hope, kindness, honesty, and courage are what children need to be taught. We
can’t always rely on their parents or whoever is raising them to instill these
traits in kids.
Dwayne believes all of these character development traits must be coupled with
academic lessons – math, reading, writing, history, science – everything. Listen
in as Representative Bohac explains that he is not getting this idea from
theologians; these are behavioral scientists – some who may be atheists! “It
does not cost a great deal of money, but it does require effort, especially from
parents.”
Parents must become more involved in their children’s school work and
activities; they are, after all, our future. If children aren’t productive
during their school years, it is likely that they won’t be productive or
successful in life. Dwayne cites a study from Oregon State University that found
some shocking results when students were taught character traits along with
their academic lessons. Listen in for the results and to hear more about the
bill Dwayne is going to file soon concerning this matter.

Title: State with Hard Education Choices
Topic: Education
Discussed by Todd Ziebarth
with National Alliance for Public Charter Schools (www.PublicCharters.org)
Our current public education system is just broken. When 50% of
students in Texas never finish high school, something is wrong.
Texas has one of the best economies in the world, but we can’t even keep our
kids in high school long enough to get a diploma. If we can’t even graduate
students who can read and do simple math equations, our economy won’t be that
great for much longer.
Todd Ziebarth is an expert in school choice, advocating for more charter schools
and helping to enact laws in numerous states on the issue. He says many school
districts are resistant to the idea of school choice because they don’t want to
lose control of the students. It’s their ego. Their pride. It’s about job
security. It’s about money.
There are eight states that do not allow charter schools at all. Of the
forty-two states remaining, many charter schools are in danger of failing
miserably. Texas ranks about the middle of the herd right now. Texas only allows
two types of charter schools. Listen in as Todd explains those choices.

Title: Leave Your Rights at the Door

Discussed by Eric Buehrer
with Gateways to Better Education www.GoGateways.org
Part 1 of 2
As a former public
school teacher and now a licensed minister and founder/president of Gateways to
Better Education, Eric Buehrer can relate to both sides of the
religion-in-schools debate. He says there are seven basic freedoms
that students and teachers have in public schools. These freedoms come directly
from the Department of Education – not from a religious group or organization.
First, students and teachers are allowed to pray, read their Bibles or other
religion material, and talk about their faith in public. They can organize a
Christian club or other religious group and even announce their meeting times
via the PA system, fliers, and bulletin board postings. Teachers cannot deny
students the right to talk about their faith or Jesus or God within class
assignments, homework, or even oral debates.
So why do we keep hearing stories about students being persecuted in school?
Eric says that although most of these laws have been around for over twenty
years, most principals, teachers, and administrative staff are completely
clueless as to what the law actual says.

Eric Buehrer continues to talk
about the seven freedoms that students have in public schools. This was not
something Gateways to Better Education just pulled out of thin air. This is not
something the religious right has concocted. These seven freedoms are given
directly from the government and have been in effect since 1995. Most teachers
have never seen them. Most principals would deny they even exist. Make sure you
print out the FREE legal guidelines found at www.GoGateways.org
Teachers are also have rights while at work. Listen in as Eric explains that
teachers have the right to talk about their faith at lunch or the break room.
Teachers can form a bible study with other teachers. Teachers are also
encouraged to oversee student-led Bible and religious clubs. Don’t be shy about
your faith!
Eric also discusses whether or not students can attend outside religious
meetings during instructional time. Forty states have laws regarding this
matter. What about Texas? Listen in as Eric explains!
And what about sporting events or even graduation? If a student is chosen to
give a speech, they are allowed to pray and talk about Jesus, God, and their
faith. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

We have known for several years

math, science, and technology. We can now add engineering to this list. What is

Dr. Vince Bertram reviews some startling statistics concerning these subject
areas. He says, “They are impaling our economy and creating major barriers for
our students to be able to compete for jobs.” With the advancement of technology
in today’s society, we need all the math, science, technology, and engineering
kids we can get! Encourage your children or grandchildren to not only read every

Title: Failing Schools in Texas
Topic: Education
Discussed by Lance Izumi
with Pacific Research Institute (www.PacificResearch.org)
Pacific Research
Institute recently did a study of the Texas public education system and the
results will probably shock you! Lance Izumi, the Senior Director of Education
Studies, says that many parents in middle to upper-middle class neighborhoods
think their schools are just fine, when the opposite is most likely true.
In Texas, for example, PRI discovered that 60%, or 673 non-low-income schools,
had half or more of their students in at least one grade level fail to reach the
“recommended” level of satisfactory academic performance on a 2013 STAAR exam.
In addition to this, schools have been “deflating” grade bench mark results so
that it appears more students are passing each subject, when in reality less
than half of the students are actually passing! How do the school district get
away with this? Listen in as Lance explains the sad reality.
One way to determine if your child needs help is to sit down and read an
age-appropriate book with them. If they cannot read the book without assistance,
then something is wrong – not necessarily with your child, but with the system.
There is nothing wrong with being an involved parent – make monthly
parent/teacher meetings, volunteer once a week in the class, help your child
with their homework. Don’t just simply trust the “results”. After all, they are
government-run tests and we all know how well that usually turns out.
Finally, what about school choice? Should parents be given more choice on where
to send their child to school? Lance Izumi says that when Sweden began offering
nation-wide school choice, the school systems improved dramatically because the
principals now had to fight for their students. Should Texas and America begin
universal school choice to improve competition, grades, and test scores?

Title: Class Sizes are Exploding
Topic: Education
Discussed by Stacy Washington
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
Part 1 of 2
America is great. We have the most freedom of any nation in the world. We
have great trading policies. We have great health care opportunities. Or we did
once upon a time. We have free public education for anyone who wants it –
including illegal immigrants.
Wait a minute! Aren’t illegal immigrants, even children, supposed to be sent
back to their home country? We all know by now that this is not the case. Over
90,000 unaccompanied children have entered the United States this year. This
number does NOT include the number of illegal immigrant children who have
crossed the border with a parent or other adult.
Stacy Washington is a former school board member and is part of the National
Center for Public Policy Research’s division of Project 21. She says that there
is not another nation in the world which allows illegal immigrants to attend
school for free. In fact, their parents are sent to prison and the children are
deported! She also points out that the deportation process is much, much faster
in other countries, as well.
Many of these illegal immigrant children coming to America from south of the
border do not speak Spanish, but some other language that is considered dead in
the modern era. Teachers must be hired to translate for these children, new
curriculum must be purchased, schedules rearranged. School districts are not
prepared for this increased cost.
Furthermore, unlike American-born children who are required to have up-to-date
shot records or a doctor’s note exempting them from immunizations, these illegal
immigrant children are COMPLETELY EXEMPT. They are bringing diseases – some
deadly – to our schools, infecting hundreds, if not thousands, of our children.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Class Sizes are Exploding
Topic: Education
Discussed by Stacy Washington
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
Teacher associations and unions
all advocate for smaller classrooms. Schools are already overcrowded. Funding is
already limited.
Stacy Washington says that the influx of illegal immigrant children that are
flooding our nation’s public school system will have astronomical effects on
every student in the classroom. When you think about it, our children only
receive four (4) hours of instructional time during the school day. Time is
spent traveling from class to class and doing extra-curricular activities such
as PE, music, and art. Younger students have recess. All students obviously need
to eat lunch.
When you add several illegal immigrant children who to don’t speak English to
these already overcrowded classrooms, the instructional time dwindles down even
further because teachers must help the non-English speaking students more often.
If 90,000 illegal immigrant children enter the public school system in America
this year, and each student costs an average of $9,000, that will add an
additional $810 Million to our already over-extended budgets. Teaching students
English as a second language adds even more to the cost.

Title: A bad reaction to a bad problem.
Topic: Education
Discussed by Bishop Council Nedd
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
As an experienced
teacher, Bishop Council Nedd has seen the devastating effects an influx of
children can have on a school. Already underfunded and overcrowded
classrooms are not prepared for the massive amounts of children coming over the
border.
Bishop Council Nedd explains how the rush of illegal children coming to American
schools not only puts a financial hardship on school districts, but also places
an academic strain on individual classrooms and teachers. Schools are not
prepared with qualified teachers to teach English as a Second Language to these
children, many of whom speak a language other than Spanish. Children who speak
English should not have to suffer academically because one or two students in
the classroom do not understand the lessons.
You can learn more about this and other issues with Project 21 at

Title: Money Will Not Solve the Education Malaise in America
Topic: Education
Discussed by Dr. Paul Peterson
with Dr. Paul Peterson (www.PaulEPeterson.org)
Money is not the cure-all.
Removing bad or ineffective teachers is not the cure-all.
In my honest opinion, liberal-democrat-progressives brought in new-spelling and
new reading techniques and most students are far behind in reading skills. These
same “experts” broke the teaching methods for math and science and now they want
us to trust them with Common Core.
Common Core cannot continue. Period. Bring back the basics. Give the kids ample
recess time. Teach them how to climb a rope and jump a hurdle, instead of
tossing a plastic ball back and forth so they “don’t hurt someone”. Teach them
the fundamentals of music. Every day. And let them paint and get messy for
crying out loud! Kids need to be creative. They yearn for originality. Teachers
want their kids to have fun learning! Stop all the testing and just teach!

The problem isn’t how much money is spent on education in Texas. The problem
is how it is being spent.
James Golsan says that one area where money is being mismanaged is
administration. In addition, $11,000 is being spent on EACH student in public

Many services are offered thru
the Head Start program, but it is geared mainly toward preparing
pre-kindergartens across the nation for school, teaching everything from ABC’s
to nutrition. However, the US Department of Health and Human Services own report
shows little to no impact on cognitive, social and emotional stabilization, and
parent participation - which are all vital in the education of children. Is the
