The Decline Of The West: American Education Surrenders To ‘Equity’

Yes—if every teacher in high school ends up incorporating this into every class, the students are exposed to it SEVEN times a day, with every class, ad nauseum, all year, and for all 4 years.

Public education in the United States, if measured by results, has been producing graduates that are less competent in language skills and dramatically less well taught in the sciences and mathematics since 1964, when Scholastic Aptitude Test scores peaked.

Interesting, that's a little earlier than I thought, but it still fits with my experience.

So, they’re saying we have to hobble the smart students so the stupid ones don’t feel bad?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Interesting timing, considering that the massive social upheavals of the 1960s were starting to happen at that time.

A black Princeton professor of classics is calling for all classics departments to be done away with because they promote “racism, slavery and white supremacy.”

In the film of HG Wells the Time Machine (1960 version) the future Eloi are questioned about text books to build a new civilization the Time Traveler is told "We have books."---- but he finds they are all in crisp brown page, crumbling condition and unreadable.

When he tries to figure out how mankind degenerated into this condition we could tell him people who destroyed education and stilled our freedoms such as freedom of thought and speech destroyed it in our times.

Let's see a new civilization based on only on the knowledge from Snoop Dogg types and the rap songs and ebonic slang to carry on. And no bridges,architecture for more than one story buildings, medicine, computer or cell phone technology or electric power production.

There was a DEMOCRAT strategist a couple of years ago who was asked about the most important long-term trends in American society, and one of the things he said was quite remarkable. I'm paraphrasing here:

"The next generation of America's business and government leaders are being home schooled right now."

One of the American founding fathers said human history shows that in any society one race has to dominate others. It has profound truth in it

Whenever I see striking teachers on TV, I am shocked by the fact that so many of them look fat and utterly stupid.

[Don Corleone]

Hopefully the teacher’s unions will screw themselves out of jobs and parents will seriously turn to home schooling. The one room schoolhouse doesn’t seem too bad now does it? Readin’ ‘riten’ and ‘rithmatic w/o the propaganda fillers. For the most part colleges are little more than structured reading programs with an occasional frat house beer bust type discussion group thrown in. Professional studies excepted.

"Interesting timing, considering that the massive social upheavals of the 1960s were starting to happen at that time."

I was in college in the late 60s and early 70s, and that is when the rot began. You started to hear talk that standards were racist, and that the main purpose of a teacher was to be a "friend" to students.

[Alas Babylon!]

It does?

That’s news to this forum.

We love ALL races, especially the human race.

Home schooling with computers is going to get better and better, while the public schools get worse and worse.

Public education is walking dead—it will just take a while before it collapses and all parents and kids are on their own.

Momentum is hard to stop—but eventually the corpse will hit the ground.

If parents and kids want to teach and learn in voluntary groups or families, fine.

If not, fine.

They have to hobble the smart students down to the stupid ones’ level.

This is about creating an ignorant society of sheeple for the coming Big Brother to direct. It is NOT about lifting blacks, or Hispanics, or women. Never was.

[Carl Vehse]

Incorporating the (leftist-oriented) “concept of equity” into public education gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Those school board/district administrators, principals, and teachers who authorized or incorporated such treasonous teachings should be arrested, charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced.

This link cannot be shared on Facebook because it violates...”community standards”.

Please, please move away from Facebook. It’s hard but I’m sure possible.

[Stravinsky]

A reasonably smart student can use a combination of Khan Academy (free) and Brilliant.org ($120/year to access course content and problems) to get a well rounded understanding of math and science up to the sophomore college level. Throw in a workbook or two for rote practice of trig identities, integrals, etc. Add a home lab kit or two and a few field trips when necessary. And boom... you’re set for years.

Equality of opportunity is a great thing. Insisting on equality of outcomes is a destructive nightmare.

[GOPJ]

It’s time for Republicans to fight for Charter Schools... and the rest of us need to help younger parents who don’t have time to fight the school board.

They have jobs and kids... and grandparents have extra time...
