I’m sure the teacher’s unions will have something interesting to say about this.

Parents who Truly Hate Their Children send them to Public Schools.

Anytime you have unions, Democrats, government, all
working together you get shit.
Our kids deserve better.
I grew up in public schools before they deteriorated so much,
As I got older, I switched to private schools as public ones were so political and obnoxious.
Yes, poor kids are getting cheated.
Tough for them, Their parents voted for it!

One of America's biggest mistakes was handing over the education of its young to the tender mercies of the state. If you have Soviet Style education you are going to get Soviet style results. Seperation of School and State is an idea whose time has come.

There should be consequences for the school officials that forced marxism and woke agenda on the children.

I had the joy of teaching Middle School math for a few years. I had amazing math teachers myself, and passed it on to the students.

Yes, Middle School age children are, basically, aliens. Some are 4 feet tall, a few are 6’5”. And every height in between. When the hormones start up, they are hilarious.

I loved it.

Sometimes, the textbooks were, well, ridiculous. I would show them how I learned to make it simple. Tried and true methods since, oh, I don’t know, Pythagoras.

One time, the students asked “why don’t other teachers teach this way.” I took advantage of such times as teachable moments. I would say something close to “you cannot control what others do, only what you do.” (I knew that there were many good teachers, and others who just “used the textbook.”)

I also loved teaching the children that had been told that they could not learn. I knew that if given the chance, almost any child can learn. One on one instruction. You start by determining what the child already knows, and build on that. After a few weeks of progress, you begin to witness the light in their eyes. The realization that they can learn more.

PS - Hillsdale College is bringing the lantern of truth, reason, common sense, and the American Founding to the Left Coast. In Placer County, Kalifornia, they are establishing a Hillsdale College. Hope Springs Eternal

It is not a failure. It is a steady measure of success. The students will be loyal minions and slaves on the Democratic plantation.

Dumbing down the population isn’t a side effect of Marxism—it’s the goal.

Critical thinkers would never tolerate the Big Lie. They’d see Marxism for what it is: a tool for authoritarians to seize power and install a dictatorship.

Message from the Marxist elite to the masses: ‘Welcome back to the plantation, slaves.’

It’s hard to educate someone with an 75 IQ that has no impulse control, can’t speak the language and is prone to violence. You have to beat them to make them pay attention.

We’ve witnessed the slow death of education for at least 50 yrs now.

To summarize, everything the left does and tried too implement is the exact opposite of right.

The Fauci Flu clearly wasn’t enough, so the Democrat/Communist Party has created the “woke flu” to finish the job ...

The failure was of the schools that coddled them instead of making them strive for better grades.

Now begins the reset where all students are given the same chance to succeed, instead of holding them back with excuses

So ‘teaching’ people they’re victims and that there’s hundreds of genders makes kids stupid and ill equipped to deal with jobs and life and being productive members of society? I’m shocked I tell you - shocked.

What does income have to do with learning?

We didn’t have much money growing up. I did just fine.
