It’s not just fatherlessness. Kids are not being taught fundamental knowledge. They are left in semi illiterate state. Whatever they and their classmates can teach each other is what they leave with.
I had a math teacher explain to me that my son would learn manipulatives from watching his classmates. We had him moved to a teacher who taught Pre-algebra. After telling the principal I would to take the issue to the school board if he did not approve the move.
That teacher err edukator was dumber then a box of rocks and every kid that had her suffered for it.
During the 2017–18 school year, an estimated 962,300 violent incidents and 476,100 nonviolent incidents occurred in U.S. public schools nationwide.
Violent incidents include rape, sexual assault other than rape, robbery (with or without a weapon), physical attack or fight (with or without a weapon), and threat of physical attack (with or without a weapon).
Nonviolent incidents include theft; possession of a firea rm or explosive device; possession of a knife or sharp object; distribution, possession, or use of illegal drugs or alcohol; vandalism; and inappropriate distribution, possession, or use of prescription drugs.
Seventy-one percent of schools reported having at least one violent incident, and 65 percent reported having at least one nonviolent incident Some 66 percent of schools reported at least one physical attack or fight without a weapon, compared with 3 percent of schools that reported such an attack with a weapon.
During the 2017–18 school year, there were an estimated 3,600 incidents nationwide involving the possession of a firearm or explosive device at school Some 35 percent of disciplinary actions taken by schools in response to student involvement in the use or possession of a weapon other than a firearm or explosive device involved an out-of- school suspension lasting 5 or more days,
Of the written plans that schools may have to address various crisis scenarios, the ones reported most commonly were for natural disasters (94 percent), active shooters (92 percent), a nd bomb threats or incidents (91 percent).
About 46 percent of traditional public schools had a School Resource Officer present at school at least once a week, compared with only 19 percent of charter schools. Conversely, a higher
percentage of charter schools than traditional public schools had a security guard or other security personnel present at least once a week (35 vs. 21 percent)
A higher percentage of schools with 1,000 or more students had at least one sworn law enforcement officer present who routinely carried a firearm (79 percent) than schools with 500–999 students (52 percent), schools with 300–499 students (36 percent), and schools with less than 300 students (34 percent).
In school year 2017–18, about 51 percent of schools provided diagnostic mental health assessments to evaluate students for mental health disorders and 38 percent provided treatment to students for mental health disorders.
Teachers are important as is the whole education delivery system which in the US for a world class country ours is mostly an embarasment. We teach the best reasonably well but then their home situation is usually good. We don’t teach the middle well at all. The bottom is given a lot of help but we get little out of that end for the money spent.
However education receptivity starts with the home environment, and a fatherless family starts out with a severe handicap, and now white fatherless kids as more numerous than black fatherless kids.
This is our biggest social problem in my opinion.
Children cannot learn what they are not taught. Circumstances do not matter. Orphans can learn. Kids in the middle of war zones can learn. Kids being beaten by their father me can learn.
But if the teaching isn’t teaching then it a perfect home life is no help.
The idea that it’s “their home life” keeping them from learning is just a NEA excuse for certifying idiots as propaganda tools.
It’s funny how these fatherless kids can spout off all of the liberal nonsense they are being taught. They can recite all the bills of society they face. They can even explain the intricacies of the justice system. But somehow their home life keeps them from learning basic math and reading.
I don’t think Amazon produced it.
