You won't get them until the Department of Education is dissolved and the teacher's unions broken.
I will ask you again, for I don't know how many times, what do teacher's unions have to do with your brain-dead offspring sucking at math and reading?

A Small Tale Of Woe And Redemption: In second grade, I was a straight-A student. Catholic school. I was called to the front and asked to recite the 9X table. I choked. I hadn't refused anything, mind you. Just momentarily choked.

The next day, I got the same request. I recited it perfectly, forwards and backwards.
