Students and faculty members had to strive and were rewarded (or not) according to their performance.

I call bull crap on the faculty being rewarded according to their performance. You have to go way, way back in time for that to be the case. Ever since teachers became unionized they received pay based on a union contract, not on their abilities or effort. If you want to fix education, you need to address the root causes. The unions need to be outlawed and anyone with an Ed degree should be banned from teaching.

We have so many “wake up calls” going right now it’s ridiculous, and no one wakes up. We’re headed for a giant crash.

I read recently about the high school ‘dropout mills.’ Instead of diploma mills, there are about 2,000 high schools that have most of the country’s dropouts. What JUMPED off the page was the fact that over half of the USA’s black high school students are stuck in these crap schools.

Makes me want to return to teaching. I would probably get fired for using regular pronouns, but it would be fun while it lasted. One of the particular joys of teaching struggling kids is showing them that they can learn. The look in the eyes of a child that just learned how to do something, when previously neither home nor school had supported them, is a joy I received more than a few times.

Here is a fun side note. At the start of every school year, I would encounter foul or unkind language in the classroom. I would state ‘If you can’t say something nice, just shut the front door.’ As I stated.. shut the f... the students’ eyes would get very wide, expecting foul language. We would discuss that language is a choice. Ahhh.. sugar.....oh, fudge. After a while, the students would state ‘teacher, some day you are going to slip’ (say a foul word). I would again remind them language is a choice. Eventually, some students would see me in the hallways at other times of the day and shout “hey Mr ****, shut the front door!”

When the nuclear family is destroyed so is the potential for the children of those most affected.

Since intact minority families were destroyed by LBJ's "Great Society", they have suffered the results over the longer period.

What happens??? The answer is in what you are seeing in public school students today.

Please read the article. It’s about higher education—not K-12!

.....For example, Mac Donald quotes former Massachusetts Institute of Technology president L. Rafael Reif, who lamented that his school “has made little headway on racial equity and inclusion.” .....

Reif was a dud—who required MIT students to take a “DEI” class before they could enroll in second-semester courses! He’s from Venezuela—what do you expect? I hope that the new president of MIT will do better!

The new president of Harvard—the black studies expert Claudine Gay—should be a much bigger dud that Reif!

We need to bring back merit, excellence, and beauty to higher education, and dump the Marxists and race advocates down the drain!!

NOTHING is going to wake up the woke. They're too stupid to know they're stupid.
