Education is SUPPOSE to be about the improvement and well-being of the next generation. Learning is supposed to be about seeking and discovering the truth. Unfortunately, the coming generation is the victim of academic fads and social experimentation.  The “New Math,” the “Open Classroom,” “Values Clarification,” “Cooperative Learning,” “Outcome-Based Education,” “No Child Left Behind,” and more recently “Common Core” and “Race To The Top” have helped build the administrative and bureaucratic “EMPIRE.” With the recent tragedies in the small town of Platte I feel strongly that someone needs to be held accountable. With that said, Rep.Lance Russell is calling for Sec. Melody Schopp's resignation.I encourage everyone to sign on and support Rep. Russell bring accountibility to SD State Government.
