I hope Jimmy-The-Good repents, yet is punished for what he did to two generations of Americans. The damage cannot be overstated.
Simpler still, remove the Fed govt from education, both in policy, content and funding.
Personally I think even the states ought to reduce their influence on the schools by about 75%. Go local, and allow tons of competition.
1. Eliminate the communist led NEA Teachers Union
2. Eliminate tenure at the university level
3. Hire/Fire based on merit
4. Make it illegal to teach any anti-American propaganda
It is my understanding Betsy DeVos,Trump’s nominee for ed secretary is in the business of printing/marketing Common Core approved textbooks. If true, she is not qualifted to drain the education swamp.
We need curriculum change ASAP.
The fix is coming, Betsy DeVos. This lady is an education driven woman. She believes in home school, and charter schools. Here in Michigan, she has a good rep with parents, and is hated by the MEA.
My mom was a 1st thru 3rd grade reading teacher. When sight reading started my mom said "Hell no!" Back then schools were run by the community who were actually effected by them not DC.
Then in the late 80's I read an article that stated after 20 years of sight reading California had a functional illiteracy rate of 60%. IT TOOK THE LIBS 20 YEARS TO FIGURE OUT THEY WERE WRONG!
Khrushchev told Nixon sometime around the time of the Kitchen Debates "We will get you through your schools." This, sadly, has been one of their success stories.
When my local public school started introducing the absurdly stupid "Community Math" (described in article), that was the end for me. I pulled my child out of that school and homeschooled him through 9th grade. He then went on to take high school classes online.
Btw, our alternative school methods worked. Son is now well-balanced, independent, and happily employed. Best of all, he still loves learning, maybe because he didn't get his spirit crushed by public schools.
