Oh man...preaching to the choir. I retired from teaching shortly after being told I could not correct/help a child fix their incorrect math problem. I was told it might make them feel bad to know they’d done it incorrectly.
In the intervening years, our once top of the country educational system (Fairfax County, VA) has fallen and now will crash and burn. Our magnet school (tops in the country) TJ (Thomas Jefferson HS) has been rendered stupid. It wasn’t deemed diverse enough. So, the standards have been wiped out so they can bring in enough diversity so they can feel good about themselves. There goes the top gifted school in the country. No more exams. Low GPA (Oh, they won’t take the highest ones, They will take the most diverse ones so that a 3.5 “diversity” choice will enter while a 4.0 “non diversity” is disallowed). Yeah, that will FIX the school.
Glad my kids are out of college and employed.
Thanks for posting. These first hand accounts really tell the story out in the real world.
