“Tracking” made a better educational system for everyone.
But that is why the communists did away with it. Because it worked.
Such a great idea. California showing us how it’s done. Meanwhile my real estate value in Texas climbed another 12% last year. There’s construction all over the place here.
If California is worried about inequality, it can share a $100,000+ pensioner’s payouts with me.
Well, democrats do have a point.
If everybody are deprived of education, they will all be equally dumb and ignorant.
Next step: extract the intelligence part of the human brain as soon as a child is born, and nobody will ever be smarter than anybody else.
Equality is going to make humans as smart as worms.
AMAZING how many well-educated parents never even consider the fact that they could educate their kids in math FAR BETTER than the schools, if they put in a bit of effort. Instead they just bitch.
Well, if they can’t count, they can always get a job at the Board of Elections.
It’s not always the teacher. I attended a grade school where the teachers favored separating the gifted. This was abolished because parents insisted their child was as gifted as the next.
No Child Left Behind has turned into No Child Gets Ahead
Woke Equity Math:
Dick has eight apples, Jane has seven apples, and Tyrone has four apples.
QUESTION: From which elderly Asian woman did Tyrone strong arm rob his apples?
“Stupidity was as necessary as intelligence, and as difficult to attain.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Any Asian who continues to vote Dimm in California (or elsewhere) deserves to get their faces kicked in. This policy is about as anti-Asian as it gets.
Kids with indifferent parents or in the foster system will be denied their chance however slim to learn a skill that will give them a chance at a future.
The majority of the kids in the second category are the disadvantaged minorities they claim to care about.
There is something evil about these people.
They are not ignorant but have good intentions. They know exactly what they are doing.
I went to an elite private prep school—had two full years of calculus before I graduated.
You can be sure the children of the elite will learn plenty of calculus before they get to college.
This will just increase the gap between the elites and the deplorables.
Parents are number one responsible for the education of their children
Communists in the public school system bureaucracy cannot stop us parents from educating our children
They can try but there’s nothing they can do
No the major problem with children like my two sons is they just wanna play video games I don’t really want to study
I leave at 5 AM and get home about 8 PM and don’t really want to spend what precious little time I have with them harangue them about studying
My older son is entering high school next year I hope the study level picks up somewhere
The urban school district where I taught (in a rust-belt state) did kind of the same thing. But instead of eliminating the advanced math classes, they made every math class an advanced class. Example:
Old way: We had three levels for Algebra 1: basic, mainstream, and honors. The student chose his level based on his interests and ability.
New way: Every Algebra 1 class is now Honors Algebra 1.
And that presents a difficult dilemma for the teacher. Aim too high and kids will fail. Aim too low and the truly honors kids are cheated. So what to do? You’ve got to aim low. Otherwise kids will fail, and teachers will be fired.
Bottom line: Those classes are honors classes in name only.
But, hey. At least the superintendent can brag about all the honors classes in his district. So it’s all good.
Great. Everyone will be equally stupid.
