I was humiliated by a female high school teacher when i was going through puberty. I was made to stand in front of the class and explain how I cut myself shaving and explain that a cat had not done it as the teacher kept saying. No apologizes and I never used a straight razor again.
Hopefully children will learn the realities of life and teachers will be limited to thee three R’s. Social Engineering is NOT their job! Parental oversight is primary. The Constitution does not name a Department of Education as a Federal job, therefore EDUCATION belongs to the STATES.
Agree with all you said. The “professional educator” class should be scared to death, as in the not too distant future, centralized schooling will disappear, and all lecture-deliverable content will be studied at home over the internet. The only tasks remaining for central schools will be those subjects that require hands-on, science labs, music, electronics, shop, and things that require specialized and/or expensive equipment.
The core is already growing (Khan Academy and similar sites).
