Unbelievable. Randi Weingarten should be in prison.

The paradox is that with all kinds of resources on the Internet, and with AI it’s easier than ever to learn things, if you just put in the time.

[DAC21]

“A stunning report from UC San Diego has exposed a dramatic collapse in academic readiness that should alarm anyone who cares about California’s education system. The numbers are jaw-dropping: between 2020 and 2025, the share of incoming freshmen requiring remedial math instruction for skills below middle school level surged nearly thirtyfold—from about 1 in 100 students to roughly 1 in 8”

The UC system gladly accepts their tens of thousands of tuition money.

I bet everyone of them can name all 76 pronouns though

Academic priorities you know !

Can't Round Numbers or Add Single Digits

The digits have to at least be in a relationship.

The one comfort is that, given the right environment, most of what is necessary in elementary education can be learned by an adult in months, and by the end of one year people can have enough of an adult education to take care of themselves in the real world. All the other intellectual stuff, they have the rest of their lives to learn.

This has been going on for years. Why we decided to homeschool 30+ years ago

Or write cursive ....

Under-resourced schools? Baloney! In elementary school teaching the basics: reading, spelling, writing. arithmetic, logic, geography, critical thinking and &etc. takes minimal resources. But does require actual teaching, not coddling or allowing disruptive students to stay in classes. And don't promote the ones who can't pass the grade-level.

As long as the government employees are laughing their way to the bank and no one complains about losing half their money to taxes, who cares?

[Karliner]

Disturbing and dangerous.

[Bullish]

And they’re loaded with melanin, right?

[PGR88]

Yes, but they got “A’s” in important subjects like using pronouns, and non-gendering.

[Mr. Jeeves]

When students from under-resourced schools arrive unprepared, they struggle, drop out, or switch majors—outcomes that defeat the purpose of holistic admissions.

How so? DEI recruit comes in, gets four F's and a D in her first semester, drops out, puts "Attended UC San Diego" on her resume, nobody dares to ask questions or probe any deeper at the job interview, and she gets hired over dozens of more qualified applicants. Their scam is working exactly as intended.

No surprise coming from the Gavin Nobrain’s CaliFUBAR

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

--- "The question facing California and higher education nationwide is whether we're willing to face that reality—and do something about it."

STEM is necssary, even vital to the nation. The rest of the stuff, not so much.

[rfp1234]

Yay, equity! Everyone’s a moron.

[HYPOCRACY]

These school admins and teachers need to be personally sued into poverty.

[Moltke]

0 is a round number. 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 are kind of roundish. That’s just basic math!

[Da Coyote]

They’ll go right into Dorkbamacare jobs.
Or Congress.
