Increasing numbers of reports indicate that our schools are being administered by blithering idiots.
“Increasing numbers of reports indicate that our schools are being administered by blithering idiots.”
But blithering idiots who not only have credentials but whose profession has full legal control of the monopoly on institutions that grant credentials. Institutionalize moron idiocy. (but I repeat myself)
The left must be defunded at every possible opportunity. If leftists can claim that they should never let a good crisis go to waste, so can we. Education is a walking crisis. Time to work towards abolishing government-run schools and the best way is through giving parents vouchers and allowing private schools to compete for the education money.
I think I just had a warm memory.
I went to a one room school from 2nd grade thru 7th grade. 8 grades-—14 kids-—one teacher. No running water. It was brought in every day in a milk can. No indoor bathrooms—you complete the picture. One Merry-Go-Round was the playground equipment. We had one day in fall & one day in spring when we had no classes, brought yard tools to school & WE cleaned up the schoolyard. There was no janitor. WE cleaned the floors & put coal into the furnace & spread the clunkers out on the driveway.
It was in rural Wisconsin.
The school board consisted of parents/farmers and other local property owners. NO school board member was a ‘former teacher & NONE of the school board members got paid.
That one night of the year, even my parents quit arguing & went to the school board meeting. It always was heavily attended.
TEXTBOOKS were actually looked at by the parents & the school board. The school owned the books.
The teacher was voted on—every year.
I would be willing to bet:
At least 50% of those 14 kids had at least some college classes.
At least 50% of that half got a 4 year college degree.
Many of those kids were business owners & self-employed....the 4 kids in my family all have been self employed most of their lives.
I don’t think a single one of the 14 has ever been in prison or ‘gone wrong’ in any way.
I would put my education up against any other kid you can name today. People still comment about my memory & tell me that they hope to be a sharp in the mind when they are my age. 74.
Today’s schools are a union controlled joke.
