The academic standards are LOW and FUZZY.
For example, your children will NOT be required to learn anything beyond two digit addition. Beyond 99 + 99 will be the highest yo go. Forget three digit addition such as 999 + 999. You won't need to know how to add that. I suppose that is when calculators truly take over. Already in kindergarten CALCULATORS are encouraged! Multiplication will not be taught till 4th grade and it goes on and on and on.
BTW it will continue to be taught as “group think”. It is the PROCESS that is important; not the answer or the RESULT. The GROUP, through collaborative learning, will determine what the concept is and how to apply it.
Naturally the teacher will be on the sidelines. If you have a question, some brave soul will approach the teacher and the teacher will respond to their question with another QUESTION! I can't imagine the frustration kids will face everyday. It's no wonder the ARTS will thrive since that is SUBJECTIVE. Math and science will continue to falter.
We are truly DUMBING KIDS DOWN like never before. Some will laugh and think, thank God my kids are done. Or maybe some don't have kids and don't plan having kids. Either group is in trouble. It is because these kids will be running our country some day. They will be EMOTIONAL MORONS who can't THINK. They will have no KNOWLEDGE to base their decisions on.
You'd better care or you will get people in positions of authority WORSE than Obama. They will have his mindset. What Obama doesn't destroy, they will. Is it any wonder that college kids embraced Obama? No surprise here.
They will have been conditioned to think highly of Marxism and reject capitalism. Now they will also have NO ABILITY to do basic Math or REASON out anything because their logic is skewed and they have been taught PROCESS is more important that RESULTS. The bottom line is the INDIVIDUAL is being ERASED and replaced with the GROUP and EMOTIONS are what they will use to make decisions in their narrow, bigoted utopian world. They will continue to HATE their country and be apologists for it. Mark my words or READ and SEE what your kids are learning. I am not exaggerating.
It’s interesting that you focus on groups. Using “groups” is how universities tried to stem black attrition. By dividing the students into groups and giving all in the group the same grade for a project, the universities hoped to keep minorities from flunking out. There is always someone in the group who WILL do the work. Eventually, some lazy non-minority students starting riding the group gravy train, which created the opening for students to challenge the group meme.
Notice how many teaching aids/books/lessons are appearing on the store shelves. Are parents teaching the real subjects at home on evenings and weekends? What about all the wasted classroom time? Row after row of educational material that shouldn’t be necessary. Or maybe these study materials are not typically purchased in order to produce results... they could just be part of the “process” of meaning well.
