It is pretty amazing how blatant their plan is. I just keep referring to Alinsky or cloward and Piven, everything else is just a variation. Or actually, it’s more likely the details of how to enact those plans.

“Keep bright students from achieving their potential in public schools.”

I saw that one and action in my short time teaching. Actually it started with the pretend credentialing education. It was all about how wonderful diversity was and how to teach the slow learners. There was probably 5 minutes given to the gifted students. All they pretty much said was that most teachers can’t recognize the gifted students. That was absolutely true. In my student teaching, my mentor teacher told me to just ignore John. He was a troublemaker and they always keep him in the back of the classes. Being a rebel myself, I put John right in front of me. The kid was a genius. He was doing algebra problems in his head and coming up with the right answer long before I worked the problem on the overhead projector. He told me he had an IQ of 135 and yet he was failing all his classes. He’s the one student I really remember and worry about. He had such potential, not to mention how our society could benefit from someone that smart. But he scared the teachers and especially the administration. Someone like him would certainly be voting Republican.

I am so thankful, for the most part, my children were schooled in small communities and got a good education.

Oldest daughter sure saw the difference when she went to live with her dad in the big city for a short time.

She said her education was a joke during those years and she was so glad that what little being taught she had already covered in her small town learning.

Didn’t harm her but didn’t give her more than she had already received.

I sure noticed a dumbing down with the intro of Common Core to the classroom.

Thank you for recognizing that young man, I’m sure you made a real difference in his life.

Some schools have quit gifted classes because it made other students feel bad.
