If given everything free, tiny housing units, Internet, smart devices, food, education, Netflix, pot, and public transportation passes, the youth will remain on the globalist environmental social justice train forever as anonymous global citizens
Trying to have a rational discussion based on facts with a College of Education graduate who uses Common Core teaching methods, how children learn, and the dumbing down of America’s education, is like trying to reason with a petulant child who happens to be a member of the Communist Party USA.
They take everything very personal and in a fascistic way, it’s their way or the highway. If we don’t do it this way, children will be doomed forever. Since 1979 when Jimmy Carter established the College of Education (which alone gobbles up close to $75 billion a year), our children’s education has gone down significantly as evidenced by test scores and a shameless lack of general knowledge.
Jimmy Carter was the biggest dumbass and still is!
Way back in the 80s I had this conversation with a woman who was about to graduate with a teaching degree:
Her: You know, a lot of people think transgenders are homosexual -- but they're not. They're straight.
Me: So, what you're saying is (for example) there's someone is starts off as a man, but is unhappy about that, and he likes women, so he's not homosexual.
Her: Right.
Me: So, he has an operation, takes hormones, changes his whole lifestyle and becomes a woman, right?
Her: Right.
Me: So, now we have a woman, who is not a man any more, and she likes women, right?
Her: Right.
Me: So, she's a lesbian. Transgenders are homosexual, either before they start or after they finish, there's homosexuality at play here.
Her: You weren't listening to me -- so I'll say it again: a lot of people think transgenders are homosexual -- but they're not. They're straight.
Sorry, but I think he's been eclipsed by Odungo and his entourage. Incredible but true. Dumb de dumb dumb!
I have to agree. I don’t think Carter was ill intentioned, he was just dumb. Obama is ferociously trying to tear down America.
which he said would fix the education system already fixed by the 2001 GW Bush and Ted Kennedy legislation called “No Child Left Behind,”
which was supposed to fix a system supposedly already fixed by a 1994 piece of federal legislation called “Goals 2000,”
which was supposed to fix a system already fixed by “America 2000,”
which was a 1991 response during the Bush administration to a 1983 federal report on education called “A Nation at Risk,
which was published a full four years after Jimmy Carter first fixed the nation’s public school system by establishing a cabinet-level Department of Education in 1979.
Try easy questions like what is 12 times 12. How stupid are today’s gradyuts ?
Well done.
Enough of this crap. Go back and take a look at the American Education of the late 1890’s and beginning of the 1900’s.
That education system, the jewel of the United States brought forth the people who lead the world in science, were victorious in TWO World Wars, created most of the modern technology that makes our world, let the advances in medicine and medical technology, trod on the moon, protected and liberated millions of people around the world, and had the time to “go forth and multiply”, bringing forth generations of leaders.
What has been done to that Education System is truly a criminal act.
Serial logic chains are like silver stakes to Dracula, only to libs. While I’m in education, I have no problem seeing the issues clearly and knowing that everything you cite in that chain did nothing to address real problems nor did they make any improvement over the education I received in the 60s and 70s.
Although it’s not a complete solution, I have long maintained that proper use of technology could remove teachers unions from power and bring back quality education.
Here’s a possibility:
Find great teachers in every subject (ex. Algebra I). Film the teacher giving lessons. Then create a transcript and improve the lesson. Create classroom questions that help the teacher address natural concerns or help student make course corrections in common misunderstandings. Re-work each lesson until it’s better and better and better.
Then thank that wonderful teacher and send them away.
Now, hire actors who smoothly and pleasantly deliver scripted lines. Hire men, hire women, hire black, hire white, hire latino. Film and re-film every variety of teacher delivering that perfect classroom lecture until you have refined gold.
Many subjects, many lessons, many teachers, many actors. Yes, this would not be cheap but we’re probably talking about $100 million for whole shebang.
And then you don’t need the government to spend ANY money EVER AGAIN for education. You’re all set. For about 100 or 200 years. It’s taken care of.
If citizens want more than that, they can dig into their pockets and find a private school. But that catalog of 10,000 videotaped golden lectures is all any student will ever need in order to get a well-rounded and complete education.
Put it on the internet and let people stream it all for free. The citizens will be educated.
Not just enabling, but the direct cause of the cultural rot.
Try this for a shocker..maybe not.
