In The Post Office

Leon_A._Weinstein_Written by: Leon Weinstein

Today in the post office I witnessed an interesting conversation. There was a usual for afternoons long line and not enough postal workers to serve it. In the mornings there were not a lot of customers but plenty of help. In afternoons when customers would begin to come after work in herds, the post office employees were leaving to do their own chores. It always reminded me of the Soviet Union where all restaurants were closed for at least an hour during lunch time because as the head of the Union of Service Employees put it "all employees in the USSR have equal rights and the restaurant workers earned a right for lunch like anyone else."

Leon Weinstein Endorses FreedomProject

(Writer, anti-socialist, free market defender & pro-business)

"In my opinion, the most important aspect of FreedomProject Education is creating an environment that is fostering independent and critical thinking. One of the biggest problems of public education is suppression of any deviation from the dogma of "liberal thinking" and "political correctness."  Such education creates followers but not leaders.  Our kids' education is hijacked by those that want to fundamentally change America.  If not for projects like yours, we would lose the American dream substituting it for a copy of the European style social justice.  You are on a forefront of the fight for our kids' and our country's future.  God bless you!"

A Reply from the "Moral Relativism" Article!

replyDear Professor Pesta,

I was fascinated by your article in the New American: Moral Relativism.  Perhaps my account might be helpful.  I’m 84 and went to private schools (in lady’s houses) until 4th grade.  My brother and I then went to a one room schoolhouse (with 2 backhouses!) until 6th grade for me and 7th for him.  In those days bad behavior was unacceptable.  So we were attentive students, also it preceded John Dewey, so every kid read, no matter what their background!

Moral Relativism and the Crisis of Contemporary Edu.

walkingI entered graduate school to study English literature in the late 1980s, eventually receiving a Ph.D. in Ren-aissance literature, and have been a professional academic ever since.

 I have reached that point in life where I am sufficiently wizened — and sufficiently jaded — to be allowed the luxury of griping about how much tougher it was growing up for my generation. 

As a life-long teacher, I might also be granted indulgence if I grumble about how little my college students actually know compared to what I learned. And although there is as much justice as exaggeration in these observations, the thing that never ceases to amaze me is how morally stunted and ethically underdeveloped our students are, how utterly unable to make even obvious moral distinctions, and how completely uninterested in differentiating between virtue and vice.

Beverly K. Eakman on Virtual Schools

Written by: Beverly K. Eakman

Home schooling and the computer:  a match made in heaven?

 In many ways, yes, but with a couple of caveats.  Take the recent debate over a Herndon, Virginia-based provider of full-time public virtual schools called K12 Inc. (Link), with its various nationwide components, such as Virginia Virtual Academy (http://www.k12.com/vava), Florida Virtual School (http://www.flvs.net/CachedSimilar) and Massachusetts Virtual Academy (http://www.k12.com/mava).

 These are always incorporated into one of the states’ official public school districts.  Thus, the twist on K12 Inc. (http://www.k12.com/): the word public, meaning tax-supported, and therefore subject to government oversight, with all the various “strings” and biases that go along with the federal government’s schools.
