Given that the average SAT and GRE scores for teachers is abysmally low, your high achievement must mean that there are some spectacularly stupid teachers out in education-land pulling down the average.

Wow! I pity those poor kids.

You have just stated on a public forum that a fellow FReeper is a liar by virtue of their profession.

Do you have actual irrefutable evidence to support your accusation or are you simply someone who enjoys talking out of their ass while hiding behind the anonymity of a keyboard and a screen name?

He’s a teacher.

Most people who receive a paycheck from government become seduced into favoring the party of (government) unions.

There are so many people in that situation that I doubt we can avoid the "Venezuelization" of America.

8 November 22 is our last shot.

Why are there so many political lesbians in education?

I am 70, taught Math and Science (after a first career as a programmer) and I would chose a History text from 1976 over any modern text.

I do, however, applaud your removal of your daughter.

PS, I have some antique history books that are amazing if you need to borrow one.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I agree.

I taught junior high history for 29 years before my retirement. I got to choose the text (it is a small, one-school district). when I first started, I had maybe a dozen different texts to choose from. By the time I retired, maybe three, because of consolidation of the text-book industry. All were worse than my previous text. Less reading and more pictures, charts, graphs and sidebars.

I’d do a quick check of how major events were covered. In the last text, the French and Indian War rated about a half a page. The only American soldiers pictured in WWI were black. ‘Rosie the Riveter’ rated more space than Patton, MacArthur, Nimitz combined. Major WWII battles rated one or two lines of text, which is kind of understandable because most kids now can’t/won’t read.

It is very discouraging to say the least.

I had to select Science textbooks that could scarcely mention any White, male person - largely unknown to me save Einstein (anti- Nazi).

I don't have to tell you about the limited selection and the hard sell - felt slightly Mafia-esque.

Just one of many grifts public education employs.
