Communist infiltration... Pure and simple..
Certain groups being ingrained with the idea that studying and getting good grades is a “white thing”.
I suppose I should have read all the comments before making mine.. :)
We took God out of schools and put fools in.
What could possibly go wrong.
You were obviously a threat to the administration - successfully teaching children and having the audacity to suggest real-world, common sense solutions to issues.
I am so happy that my daughter never set foot in a public school. She was either homeschool or attended a Christian school. Though it was expensive and we had to sacrifice quite a bit, it was worth it. She is now in college and doing quite well. She was rooted and grounded in God’s word and is holding her own.
It is amazing that in the state where I live, Missouri, spends nearly $12-$14,000 a year for each public school student, which could allow a student to go to a private school where they could get a far greater education. The public schools results have been abysmal. The St. Louis Public schools washed their accreditation for nearly 10 years and only recently got it back. What a joke.
College graduates who can’t read? Etc. Scary.
Can you give us any examples or specifics?
Not without naming names. I’m a millennial and I spend a good deal of time at colleges in PA, so I interact with college students almost every day. It is not unusual to be handed something in print and asked, “What does this say?” I’m asked to ghost write papers, too.
Talk current events? All they know is entertainment and sports, plus of course Trump=bad.
“Public” schools are run by the government. Any other explanation for their failure is either just the details, or wrong.
Thanks for your suggestions.
I have lousy typing skills and am very dependent on my dictation software. And when you have said “our,” your brain tends to read “our” even if the machine has printed “are.”
Dragon Dictate was a wonderful app. Enhanced Dictation on Mohave has problems.
Can public schools be saved, that’s probably the main thing people want to argue about. As if we could just instantly change the whole society. We can’t even persuade the educrats to teach grammar and proper spelling.
I’m probably too practical for big visions. I want to focus on what I can do this year. I feel that if enough people learn what’s really going on in public education, they’ll be angry and want to be more involved in fixing the schools.
I was sent through that public ed system and it was... harrowing (and soul-destroying). And that was several decades back. The entire public education system needs to be scrapped. They turn out either criminals ready for prison, or SJW’s ready to turn us into North Korea. Most of these teachers today have absolutely zero business being around ANY children.
You are doing important work. Please keep at it.
In my state, I am encouraged by the growth of charters and each year the legislature increases its funding of vouchers.
K-12: What explains our failing, flailing public schools?
GOVERNMENT
Yes, indeed.
My best review. Thanks.
We both care about the children and the future of our nation.
Parents need to be informed about the corrosive education practices in the schools ( your emphasis) before there is the political will to create escape hatches ( vouchers, charters, tax credits, and homeschooling).
