In a recent cartoon, the artist depicts the difference between the 1950s and today. The first shows parents and a teacher telling the student that "these grades are terrible." In the modern panel, the student and parents are telling the teacher "these grades are terrible."

Brace yourself, because in the future, the student, parents, and teacher will tell a college "these grades are terrible."

The Obama Administration is taking standardized testing to the next level. Not only will teachers be evaluated by standardized test scores turned in by their students, but the college that teachers attended will be evaluated based upon those scores as well.

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan pointed out that several states, mostly in the South, have already piloted a similar type of program to get the data the Education Department is looking for on teacher preparation and performance.

Supporters of the measure point to a study put forth by the National Council on Teacher Quality, which claimed that not all teachers were well-prepared and were paired with experts in their field on shadow visits. The group is funded by a slew of pro-business foundations, ranging from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Walton Family Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Bradley Foundation and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, as well as several listed as "anonymous."

Though unions cautiously back the plant, the idea is not without its critics, as the Washington Post cited an award-winning principal who noted that such a plan would incentivize colleges sending their teachers to the best schools, not the ones with at-risk kids or struggling schools.

To counter such criticism, the administration rolled out the TEACH Grant Program, giving students funding up to $4,000 who will teach in a high-need field or a school with low-income schools for four academic years within eight years of completing the studies. Otherwise, the grant is converted into a loan to be paid back with interest.

Conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation, and analysts like those at the American Statistical Association, criticized the plan for relying too much on standardized tests, showing evidence that such scores are not influenced much by who is the teacher. If anything, class size reductions were shown to be better than the impact of the last grant-for-high-need service: Teach for America.

But not all colleges are waiting for what's coming out of Washington to enact reforms. "We are moving towards a clinically-based program where seniors are in the schools with master teachers all year long," writes Don Livingston, Chair of the Education Department at LaGrange College. "We are moving away from College Faculty as evaluators towards a model where cooperating classroom teachers serve as clinical faculty." Sounds like the type of high-quality preparation and experience that teaching candidates are seeking.

 What does Russia, Cuba, China all have in common. The answer they are all socialist countries. Unfortunately America may be joining that gang. In 2008 America elected a socialist democrat named Barack Hussein Obama! Many are beginning to wonder why we elected him. Obama has a long history of being tied to the socialists.

President Obama’s own father wrote about Socialism in a paper entitled “Problems With Our Socialism” which calls for 100% taxation of the rich, communal ownership of land and forced confiscation of private lands. Obama’s mother was a “Communist Sympathizer”! President Obama was quoted as saying “The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics”. Obama’s brother Roy and one of his cousins are Marxist. Early in his presidency it was made aware that he had a very close relationship with ACORN! Fortunately that slowly unraveled.

President Obama has made America look like the next Socialist Russia. He has become the great and powerful Obama. He has controlled America in all aspects of life. We have experienced the transitions into socialism through reduction of wages, loss of freedoms and the Federal Reserve hiding the truth. What he has learned is starting to be forced onto the American people and most of America is just shrugging it off and thinking it will eventually get better. However without anyone standing up against it, America will crumble.

President Obama wants to control wages of the American society. His agenda is for people to become increasing dependent on the government. With his socialist control of our wages, we end up earning less; they pay less because of the benefits the federal government provides. We may earn more some days however with inflation and the minimum wage it devalues the dollar. President Obama has begun to take away our freedoms. He’s trying to take guns away from law-abiding citizens. Even Nanny Bloomberg is aiding President Obama by banning Big Gulp’s in New York. President Obama has begun forcing Americans to drop their healthcare providers and sign-up for Obamacare! Obama has killed the job market and therefore forced people onto welfare. Currently there are approximately 50 million people on food stamps; that’s 1/6th of our entire population. To qualify, a single person with no kids can make no more than $1800 per month gross for $189 a month in food assistance. This creates a dependence on government. If the government provides you with food, welfare, and healthcare, what is your incentive to work? Most of those who receive food stamps sell them. Recently some video footage came out that showed people selling $150 in food stamps for $60 cash. Nearly 43% of all food stamps are given to illegal immigrants, who shouldn’t be here in the first place.

The Federal Reserve has QE expenditures of $85 billion dollars per month poured into stocks/bonds which artificially raise the stock market with fake money. They are just putting zeros on an accounting sheet and not even bothering to print the money; which allows President Obama to claim that the economy is so great. Just look at how well the stock market is doing, when our economy is still in the shitter, economy has gone so far down we can’t even see the end of the paper roll. Socialists are famously known for lying to themselves and everyone else about the real state of their own countries; just look at Russia. The only reason China has not gone belly up like other communist regimes is that it has a private business industry (contrary to communist ideology) that bolsters its' economy by selling cheaply made items / copied items to the United States, and other free market countries as well as we own a large chunk of money to China.

So thanks to Obama’s Presidential Agenda, we are rapidly declining into socialism. Now is the time not to sit on the sidelines. Get off the bench and let’s put a stop to Obama Socialism. We can get America out of this socialism mess. We must bring back the American ingenuity that made Detroit “The Motor City” and where are the Americans that lived off a farm; raised their own cattle and provided it to America instead of being forced to buy foreign meats. Where are the small business owners who help keep America Strong? Rise Up America, now is the time.
