The Toxic legacy of Public education: How educationalists’ fear that students will actually learn something rather than be indoctrinated.
Teachers Urge Government To Reopen Schools Before Students Learn To Think For Themselves

I spent the greater part of my working career as a public school teacher (urban high schools - never a dull moment). And here are two things I learned:
- Most folks with fancy titles like “educationalist” or “educational consultant” don’t know what they are talking about.
- Most folks who have PhD’s in education don’t know what they are talking about.
People in the above two groups are actually counterproductive. They spew nonsense that has no connection to the real world.

our children will do better without your union industry...
The Wall Street Journal had a piece yesterday about how New York City was coping with the shutdown. It showed a teacher helping a child use a laptop (no social distancing). The laptop had a sticker on it that said, “We choose #SchoolEquity, not the false promise of School Choice.”
The WSJ is very pro-school choice, so I’m sure they chose that photo to make a point about the school system’s “great teachers.”
He calls them “spivs”
That’s gotta be pretty insulting to those of Ukrainian descent...
For later
THe bureaucrat soviet pedos want the power over your kids back
Zactly!
Exactly!
The only only toxic thing I see is the rabid Teacher's Unions.
We better hurry up and get those public schools open .... or these kids might start thinking for themselves!
“unchartered”-I guess the editors have the corona.
Stopped reading there.
The Federal Government subsudizes the states on a per seat attendance.... If kids don’t return for the next school year.... Oh yea.
"The toxic legacy I most fear is the leftist woke agenda that has brainwashed and indoctrinated children and controlled the educational system for years. It's a relief that children will have a respite from this toxic leftist agenda, and get to spend time with their parents, and try other learning methods. Educationalists are afraid of losing their power to control and indoctrinate children. They're afraid that - through the Coronavirus epidemic - we might find out that homeschooling and distance learning are actually superior to the brainwashing institutions that many schools and colleges have become."
"London, United Kingdom, 6 hours ago"He's just sad the kids aren't getting their daily dose of cultural Marxist brainwashing. No global warming propaganda etc."
The uncharted part is the teachers don’t get a paycheck.
I really wish DJT would abolish the Department of Education right now...
