“Equity” is an euphemism for ….

Racing to the lowest common denominator.

Close the public schools.

They do more harm than good.

The Dumbing Down of American kids. These same kids who can’t do math, can’t read or speak English are the “young skulls of mush” (Rush Limbaugh) the commie libs want us to listen to when they’re flapping their drooling jaws about “climate change” and who also want to give the right to vote to just because they know how to poke a cellphone. IOW. Morons.

Increase the standards on groomer teachers. Implement spot knowledge tests. Any grade below 90% results in termination, revocation of their teaching license, and loss of pension. I think this proposal is overly kind and fair. Failing teachers should not be charged with fraud and face prison time. They can be productive members of society by learning to say, “Do you want fries with that?”

I see simple signs of this all the time. This morning a problem posted onlne.

You’re 2 and your cousin is twice your age. How old will she be when you’re 40. Most people answered 80 or 60. I can explain 80 (twice as much as 40), but how do you get 60? Yes a few said 42.

Go to a young cashier and when the bill is $17 give them a 20 and 2 ones and see what happens.

Lowering standards won’t accomplish anything. This country needs educated people.

Hey, give them a break. I’m sure the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, N Koreans and even Mexican school systems are dumbing down their kiddos also so they don’t make our alumni look too bad on the world stage.

Much of the current guidance for American education is taken from the following:

1) Polish children only need to be taught to count up to 500.
2) They need to be able to read and understand simple instructions.
3) Above all, they need to learn to obey their German masters.

- Heinrich Himmler, 1940

Math is racist. Standard, correct English is racist. Biology is false: there is no such thing as male or female.

The Chinese don’t do anything stupid like that. They emphasize learning. That’s why they will soon be the #1 economy in the world.

We are witnessing the decline of a once-great, but no more, nation.

With emphasis on the 'RACE' syllable.

Khan Academy could bring all NYC and other failing city school kids' proficiency up to snuff in a flash. Sal Khan is an incredible teacher for anyone at any level. It's on youtube and it's free.

Math shouldn't take 12 years. With every child learning at his/her own pace, nearly all students could be ready for college math in a matter of years, not a decade plus.

The problem of course isn't the kids' fault. It is our commie, queer school systems' fault.

This is what a collapsing nation looks like. Plus the kid confusion, grooming & mutilation. Not a nation even remotely under God anymore.

Yet my kid, 4th in her class with a 4.0, didn’t get into UVA. Meritocracy is long gone, proficiency doesn’t matter any more.
