For reasons I cannot fathom half the time, at 50 I have decided to go back to school and get a masters in elementary education (my undergrad degree is in international finance and I was a practicing corporate mergers and acquisitions attorney for 8 years prior to having kids). The main goal in every class I have taken so far is diversity and cultural sensitivity. Between that and the emphasis on “social constructivist learning” and “it isn’t the answer that matters but the process by which a student got there” I am thoroughly disgusted.

American universities need to be “defunded” and “reimagined”.

and “it isn’t the answer that matters but the process by which a student got there” I am thoroughly disgusted.

Well, when learning the process is pretty important - without it, there is no answer. That said, if the answer isn't correct, that would lead me to say there's a 99% chance something in their process was wrong too!
