Why don’t more people see that our system of education is totally rotten? It’s not about education. It’s about jobs for leftists and financial donations to leftist politicians. Screw the kids.
We need to radically re-think education. Technology a help make it better and cheaper, if we make the right choices.
Remove all computers from the classroom. They are not necessary to teach someone how to think. They are expensive to buy, maintain and update.
Return education to local control.
It’s all about training them for the NWO. 20 years ago or so, Beverly Eakman wrote prophetically about it. I think her book is still in print.
The main problem with American education is that we have made a certification or degree from a college of education, rather than a degree in a relevant subject, the sole criterion for fitness to teach in a K-12 school. Everyone remembers the general impression of ed majors at their college — by and large a mass of math-phobic ditzes who chose the major because it was the most content-free major at their university (I estimate about 15% of ed majors don’t fit that description, but it’s too few to take up the slack) — who are then given “education” in such baleful pedagogical enthusiasms as look-say reading instruction, Vygotsky’s social construction of knowledge, and whatever the latest iteration of the see-saw between rote learning of arithmetic without understanding and discovery learning (that would produce understanding, though with less computational skill, except that it’s being implemented by math-phobic ditzes) happens to be when they go through their program.
