Libtards control education and they adapt a disintegrated mode of thought on purpose to keep the masses ignorant and dependent on government. The disintegrated mode of thought in education consists of expansion and splintering of the curriculum, and the subjects are disconnected and unrelated to each other. This is accompanied by the increasing anti-conceptual movement in most subject areas toward perceptual-level concrete bound learning.
Have you looked at a college text book recently? There seems to be no such thing as linear thought any more. Every page of text is interrupted at 3-5 times with pictures, sidebars, end notes, and other information inserted into the text. Today’s text books seem to be designed for readers that have the attention span of a flea.
So, the normal reader tries to read and absorb the text, but some sidebar, or other interruption, is constantly vying for the reader’s attention. And, heaven help the student if he doesn’t read it all — it could show up on his final.
My grandchildren don’t even buy their books any more — they rent them! So, as they get farther along in their majors, there is no hope of referring back to a favorite text.
I want back to college about 12 years ago to finish a degree and couldn’t believe it. I also couldn’t believe how frequently “group” projects were assigned and “group” grades given. As an older student, particular about my work, I always ended up carrying much of the burden of the group. I always did the typing because none of the other cared about proper footnoting and hadn’t learned the rules, despite my university making it really easy to find the answer to sticky questions. (There was a nun in the library who devoted her life to understanding the APA system and passing that info along to any student willing to ask.)
I had been an English Major in my previous life as an undergrad at UC Berkeley, so I am good with grammar, syntax, etc. I wouldn’t re-write, but I did correct glaring errors. One of my group members Gave me her part of the paper to type in its final presentation and the wording sounded awfully familiar. I checked the text and found that she had COPIED the entire first chapter. I called her, and she said, “Oh, that’s a “block quote”. I pointed out that she cannot quote an entire chapter as her contribution to the paper because the grades of 4 people depended on the whole. She didn’t care, so I re-wrote.
She was the niece of the Milwaukee Superintendent of Schools!
