“....put them all in a big room called Special First Grade ....”
Room locked and if necesary chained to their seat!
Don’t forget metal detectors, a separate external entrance, and armed police officers (as many as necessary).
In the late 80s and early 90s, my older cousin was an English teacher at LSU. Her sole assignment there, in her words, was to "teach the black football players how to read". She washed out pretty early.
It is very important to coax very young children into the learning mode. Their sponge-brains soak up knowledge and skills really fast and with high retention.
Parents really need to be there before their kids reach school age. Now I think homeschooling is the best way to go. I used to think public schools were OK; however, they just are not. Public schools are destructive.
Teachers Unions.....the very best in incompetence...
************
But competent when taking care of their OWN interests.
Can’t t each an old dog new tricks.
I have a 17 year old dog that just looks at me if I try to teach him anything new, like ‘Go away, where’s my food, leave me alone.”....... ................
Teachers Union..American Taliban
“Tolley Bonn” as Obozo used to say, trying to sound intellectual....................
So it's not something to be fixed by electing conservatives to the school board, because there really are no government schools, just zombies wearing the bodies of their victims.
It has to start again from scratch. Home school or cooperative schools among the like minded.
They are desperately trying to shut down home schooling....................
Obviously, it’s those dang Republicans! /s
Why didn’t the parentSSSS step up and work with her at home? Oh, but that would take effort and work on their part. Some parents don’t understand a little bit of effort on their part at young ages pays off a billion times more later on.

Pretty crazy isn't it?

As a new school year begins, students will no longer be required to demonstrate skills in reading, writing, and math. For the next five years, an Oregon high school diploma will be no guarantee of academic achievement, but only of participation in a system with undefined parameters. The legislators, school districts, and governor supporting Senate Bill 744 saw that this “will benefit Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color”.
So now we have moved to the position held by many 19th century abolitionists. When I read The Life and Times of Fredrick Douglass, one passage always stayed with me. After speaking to an abolitionist audience, Douglass considered the evening a great success, because he concluded his talk believing these people were convinced, he was equally human with them. He mentioned this as a significant event, because even the strongest supporters of black freedom questioned whether these people were as fully human. If educators would treat these people as individuals, they would design programs allowing an opportunity for commensurate achievement.
I remember Dr. Martin Luther King saying, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character…..little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”
I guess the statement still makes sense to me.
I disagree. For example, lots of adults learn languages with other writing systems, such as Japanese or Arabic.
In the course of time people got used to the idea that it was a necessary function of government. And a service they expect by right.
Now we have a ruling class that fears a literate populace, but they don't dare say that openly. So they use less direct methods.
I agree teachers' unions are a bad idea, but they are not the cause of this. They are only following orders, if you get my drift.
He seems to be doing a fine job ending civilization without the nuclear weapon.

and in incontinence.
Worst President, Ever!
Since you plan on moving anyway, I suggest Florida for their Bright Futures college scholarships. If your children earn decent grades and test scores, your children can get college tuition covered at their Public colleges. Both are huge improvements to the political climate of Oregon.
