We will never land on the moon ever again.

Video is only 3:15 minutes long. A short graphic presentation of the nine big flaws in public schools.
Suppose someone is asking the question, well, what can we do, where do we start?
Here's a list of nine places to start.
----------------------------------------------
Personally I like trying to radically simplify things. That is especially appropriate in education. What these professors spend their time doing is creating so much confusion, disinformation, propaganda, alibis, excuses, lies, etc., etc., etc., finally no ordinary citizen knows what to think about the subject anymore. And that's how the Education Establishment wins.
At some point you have to start all over again. Hey, how about we teach these kids to read, teach them to do arithmetic, teach them basic knowledge about their country and the world...That's the way it's been done since the beginning of history.
Where is the proof that government schools for white children are doing just fine.? Maybe it is the white families that are doing fine and the kids are doing somewhat OK IN SPITE of the government indoctrination.
It is my anecdotal observation that academically successful institutionalized children have parents that have done, and are doing, ***everything** that I did for my academically successful homeschoolers. The institutionalized children are spending just as much time doing HOMEWORK after school that my children did all day!
So?...My conclusion?
The schools are doing the teaching. It is the parents who are supervising the AFTER-schooling.
This observation is the result of logical conclusions.
Democrats often portray themselves as a beacon to the poor
Republicans "cater to the rich"
My father used to say:
The Republicans are the party of the rich.
The Democrats are the party of the poor.
The Republicans want as many people as possible to be rich.
The Democrats want as many people as possible to be poor.
Which would you rather be - rich or poor?
If these observations were reasonably accurate then my father’s logic was correct.
In order for the party of the rich to garner more votes, that party would assist as many Americans as possible to become richer.
Then this must also be true.
In order for the party of the poor to garner more votes, that party would assist as many Americans as possible to become poorer.
No, they don't.
I live in an area where there are a number of "lily white" public schools. There are two where the students are doing fine. Housing in these two districts BTW sells at a premium. The rest are only doing slightly if at all better then the urban schools that are not white.
Otherwise the only schools that are doing well are the charter and private schools.
It doesn't fit with the template that some wish to push but bad teaching methods results in poorly educated students. It is no more complicated then that.
Children who attend socialist-entitlement and single-payer schools risk learning to be comfortable with socialism. Gee! If the local voting mob can give them tuition-free school, why not use the voting mob to get **lots** of “free” stuff.
Please remember. It only took one to three generations of single-payer and socialist-entitlment schooling to give the nation Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It is entirely possible that these kids are doing “better” IN SPITE of being institutionalized in a government school.
It is my anecdotal observation that academically successful institutionalized children have parents that have done, and are doing, **everything** that my homeschooling children did. These institutionalized children are spending as much time just doing homework ( afterschooling) as my kids did all day. Seems to me that **real** work and learning is happening IN THE HOME!
The MAIN reason government schools stink is that they are socialist.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While this is obvious. Bruce still doesn’t “get it”.
Nope! That would only be smearing icing on a poop cake.
The problem:
Government schools are single-payer, socialist-entitlement, and GODLESS abominations. This can not be fixed. Abolish them!
Secondly, maybe the starting point in each state would be the (assumed, implicit, but not stated anywhere that I know of) rule or law that all children must get a certain degree of education. The problem with a law like that is it has to be enforced. Assuming it's not a Constitutional law but a state law, then that means the state has to enforce it. I might vote to do away with such a state law and leave it up to the counties or cities.
My preference would be NO government law, leaving it up to parents to drive the free market and through voluntary demand and supply create the highest quality, lowest cost education we've ever seen. AND NO FORCED UNIONS. Sure, it would be difficult at first but freedom always is difficult at first. But it would lay a foundation for the best kind of educational situation anywhere and others would either flock to it or copy it.
If a student does not measure up they will make sure they get time at the "learning centers" which is basically group tutoring.
Lots of our local collage students pick up a few bucks doing private tutoring as well.
Eliminate “Education” degrees and require a real degree in a real subject area.
Education degrees and Journalism degrees are totally meaningless.
Bingo....you win the prize. However unpopular it is to say it on a conservative forum: bad students make bad schools. Many conservatives have been fooled into thinking that putting lousy, lazy, many times violent students in good schools will make them good students. While I’d like to put in stricter methods and stronger programs in public schools (and get rid of all the lib crapola), there’s very little that can be done for millions of students with IQs in the 70-90 range.
Don’t forget Political Science degrees.
Diversity and it’s extreme fanatical supporters breeds mediocrity
“In June of 1963, the Supreme Court upheld the argument of the atheist Madelyn Murray O’Hare and promulgated an edict with ramifications so widespread it insured that God would be evicted from public society across the entire spectrum of the American governmental system.”
We are reaping what was sown from the seeds of that decision back in 1963. Just one example is the decline of education in government schools. Much more has declined within our government and our lives as a result of that evil decision.
Wake up! GOD has been asked to leave these classrooms and leave he did. The results are clearly before you. What more can we expect from GOD when we deny HIS love and goodness before our children.
IF you care for your children, get them into a school where GOD dwells in the classrooms. Our ancestors left Europe and other places to come to America to be free to worship GOD as they chose, not free from the worship of GOD. That includes the classroom.
Incidentally, over 50 million aborted children will never live to sit in any classroom.
The first order of business in government education is to ban teachers unions. The unions are negotiating with politicians they endorse and helped get elected....who in this equation is looking out for the interests parents/taxpayers? Nobody....
Second order of business is to eliminate tenure. A job for life no matter what you do is simply wrong on so many levels I don’t even know where to begin on this.
Third, is to change the degree requirements for teachers. Start with the pedantic techniques they are taught, and change the coursework.
Most of these education majors have the highest GPA’s, and the lowest IQ’s. Yet the engineering schools have the lowest GPA’s and the highest IQ’s. The education department of every college is the intellectual slum of every university. The paradigm needs to be changed. The IQ of the education schools needs to be the equivalent of the engineering schools. Eliminate the soggy leftist boondoggle coursework for things like Calculus 1 as the primary filter. No pass Calc 1, no teaching credentials. This is a filter to drive off the riffraff, nothing more.
Fourth is to demand performance from the children. If they can’t do the work, then move them to the side, and let the ones who excel, advance to meet their needs. The behavior problems need to be dealt with. Expel them...end of story. I don’t want to hear about the prison pipeline. That pipeline begins in the fatherless welfare addicted homes...not in the schools. These miscreants were born like everyone else, it is that they were never civilized by their children parents. who themselves were never civilized by their children parents going on five generations now. And we wonder why our society is falling apart.
In all of this there needs to be impeachment and removal of any judge who enables these lowlife parents.
1) They were the nation's first single-payer, compulsory-use, socialist-entitlement. What do children risk learning in socialist schools? Answer: To be comfortable with socialism. One to three generations of socialist-entitlement schooling gave the nation Franklin D. Roosevelt!
2) It is **impossible** to have a religiously, culturally, and politically neutral education. Such a state of philosophic neutrality can NOT exist in the mind of any sentient being. Therefore....government schools WILL **NEVER** be religiously or politically neutral.
At their very best government socialist-entitlement schooling was merely generically lukewarm in its worldview. What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth.
It was evil for the government to open socialist schools. It was evil then and it is evil for them to remain open.
Solution: Begin the process of privatizing all education in this nation.
By the way I attended 2 years of government high school. There was a **nod** in God's direction in the morning with the Lord's Prayer and a small scripture. After that it was non-stop GODLESS secularism. Personally, looking back on it, It was insulting.
There is a lot of hard core communism and islamism that has snaked its way into curriculum from kindergarten through the universities. It is well established and it is going to be extremely hard to fight.
You told me that anecdotal evidence means NOTHING. I have asked you for hard numbers before and you have yet to deliver. BTW you never replied as to whether you considered Westpoint a public school.
Went to moon.
We will never land on the moon ever again.
Typical product of today's public schools.
"No Way!"
