[QUOTE="de-evoproject, post: 1301777, member: 14169"] Not what i said, I said if they were using rock, metal or country that would be the sentiment. Thats how most people view it at the moment. And as a tool in education, i haven't seen any officially instituted programs in K-12 public schools that force rock music into the core curriculum to teach the base subjects like math, science, grammar and literature. Specialize classes, electives, college and private school course, yes. But not like this program is moving towards. Beside, using a form of music that leans heavily towards using a *******ized and butchered form of the english language to teach grammar and/or vocabulary just screams counter-intuitive. The only reason that the hard work system fails is because parents and teachers fail to push the children, get involved in their education and instill discipline and good work ethic. Its pretty evident if you look at the public schools with higher test scores and overall student GPA versus schools with lower scores. The higher ranking schools have the parents that are more involved in their children's educations, drive their children to sucess and have the more committed and involved teachers that actually take an interest in the kids they teach. I've seen this over and over from a first hand viewpoint as a student. My family ended up moving alot when i was in school and went to everything from bottom of the pile, backwoods, hillbilly run cesspools of education to schools in nicer neighborhoods with more involved and intelligent families that knew involvement was the key to their child's education. Same "here's your book, study it and pass the test" mentality, VERY different results. Nobody had to dumb down my vocabulary, algebra or physics classes to a remedial sing-song slang ridden game for me to actually take an interest in learning it and not failing. I scored almost straight A's because my dad was constantly making sure i did my homework, studied for test and quizzed me regularly on what i was learning to make sure i knew what i was doing. It was made very clear to me that taking my education for granted was NOT OK. That coupled with my personal drive to suceed and do well (instilled by my parents) drove me to a high GPA, taking Honors and AP classes and getting the most out of my education. [/QUOTE]
