Bad clue here: ‘Process rather than the correct answer’ — EVERYBODY can be a winner, even in math. Oh, yes, too bad there are right answers and wrong answers. As long as the process is right, the kid gets an A. What might ‘correct process’ look like? Numbers on a page? Can they be random? Do the calculations have to be set up right? Or can they be random? Don’t want to hurt any STUPID kid’s feelings now, do we?
Math ed is already so bad, and the fruits of their approach are - the kids are even more confused. They seem hopeful that they can ruin it even more.
And that is so that, what? No parent will ever be able to help their kid with homework? Is it so the State will have zombie workers who cannot think? Perhaps it will be so even more voters will be mind-numbed.
One can only wonder.
***Another piece of these would be criteria-referenced rubrics that are clearly defined and student friendly.****
Obviously the singular and plural nouns are math impaired; in addition to the incomprehensible gibberish which follows.
Educated? In which parallel universe?
The student came to school every day and was not disruptive in class. He/She passes.
It’s the same thing if you were being tested physically. The student did complete 10 full push-ups and passed. Nevermind it took him 10 days via one push-up per day to pass.
The candidate was able to complete the one-mile excercise. It took him/her 60 minutes of walking and resting, but they pass.
Did they do the work? Don’t measure the proficiency, just assess the completion of said task. We’ll call it an assessment. Yea, an assessment. A performance based assessment. Hey, while we’re at it, let’s test them on stuff they are good at and enjoy.
Billy, come here. Hit this nail with this hammer. (hammer hits nail) You pass! You are ready for highschool.
I think FReepers know that schools have become nothing more than indoctrination centers for the far left. I read an essay the other day that pointed this out clearly, although the topic was why kids hated reading.
If you can find a copy of “I know why the caged bird can’t read” by Francine Prose, read it and share it.
x = [− b ± √( b 2 − 4 ac )]/2 a -————————————————————————————— Student;”It’s tooo haard! Make it go away” High paid Edumakater; “OK. Count your shoes for extra credit.”
ever seen some of these self-assessments in high school English class?
The only reason they have to read Huck Finn is to be moralized to about slavery and racism. They learn nothing about literature or English. Class discussion will be molded around those topics, judging the characters and past by todays standards.
This is how “English” class operates nowadays. They learn nothing but the leftwing talking points.
No wonder kids hate to read. They are never taught to appreciate it.

The aim of progressive education is explicitly to indoctrinate

Children are affected by public schooling even if the parents try their best to undo or counteract the effect.
I am **convinced**, that in my county the only children who are learning to read and do simple arithmetic have parents who are doing **tons** of afterschooling.
So?....When schools take statewide standardized testing who takes credit for all the hard work done in the home by the parent and child? Answer: The teachers and principals.
Who do the teachers blame when students do poorly? Answer: It is always the parents’ fault.
Honestly....It is **IMPOSSIBLE** to know if a government schools is academically successful or not without measuring **afterschooling**!!!! None do that.
Please note that I said “academically effective”. I did not say “good” because **no** government owned and run school is “good”. All of them by law are godless and socialist entitlements and that is never good for the child. In fact, it is evil.
By the way, I have been hammered by Freepers ( some claiming to be conservative) for using the words, “all” and “none”. So?....If anyone knows of a government owned and run K-12 school that is not godlessly secular ( by law) in its worldview or not a socialist entitlement, please send me a link. I will promptly apologize.
