B-Man Posted October 12 Posted October 12 "There's no place to cut in education spending" Maryland Inspector General for Education estimates over the last 6 years, Democrats spent over $990 million dollars to educate students who couldn’t be accounted for. They weren’t in class This sounds like nearly a billion dollars laundered “The funding of missing students” “This letter, written by the Maryland Inspector General for Education, Rick Henry, is eye opening. It's very alarming. In his letter, Henry includes this chart, which shows the number of instances where students were labeled whereabouts unknown — designations and estimates this issue could have cost taxpayers nearly $1 billion over the past six years”

B-Man Posted October 17 Posted October 17 AN IMPORTANT REMINDER: ‘Public schools don’t belong to the teachers.’ If you’re hired to teach in a public school, you’re supposed to teach your subject and be neutral about your politics, writes Robert Pondiscio. Maybe your ed school professors told you teachers are “change agents,” “child advocates,” or “architects of democracy,” and urged you to challenge “systems of oppression” and teach for “justice.” But that’s not your job. Public education is “an essential government service,” not a personal platform, Pondiscio writes. “It exists not to change society but to sustain it — to transmit the shared knowledge, language, habits, and civic norms upon which self-government depends.” For a long time now, “teacher preparation programs have evaluated candidates not only on their knowledge and skills but on their dispositions,” such as “commitment to diversity,” “cultural competence,” and a “social justice orientation,” he writes. Teachers are encouraged “to treat the classroom as a platform for identity and belief rather than as a civic institution that molds citizens.” That’s eroded public trust, he argues. Neutrality and humility are “required to sustain or restore faith in public education.” https://www.joannejacobs.com/post/public-schools-don-t-belong-to-the-teachers We have any number of institutions that seemed happy to sacrifice public trust on the altar of leftism. 1

All_Pro_Bills Posted October 21 Posted October 21 (edited) For me education boils down to a focus on teaching students what to think vs. teaching students how to think. Rather than memorize lots of facts and figures and face indoctrination in some ideology its more important in life to understand how to diagnose and solve a problem or issue via logic and critical thinking skills. But like George Carlin said the last thing any government wants is to be confronted by a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. Edited October 21 by All_Pro_Bills
Orlando Buffalo Posted Wednesday at 10:38 PM Posted Wednesday at 10:38 PM My only surprise is near the end with the idea of "our" only concern is with the Imam and not the students. The students all just did as the Imam said, that is concerning, not as bad as the Imam but bad.
Orlando Buffalo Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I looked this school up and its performance is low. 15% math and 30% reading but they have time for this stupidity? I get annoyed when we have pep rallies twice a year and my freshman most likely outperform their seniors. 1

thenorthremembers Posted 44 minutes ago Posted 44 minutes ago (edited) My wife and I homeschooled our children until it became increasingly clear we needed two incomes to keep up with bills. If you take part in the raising of your children and teach them values at home, school doesn't have to be an issue. The problem starts with parents who have kids and then expect someone else to raise and educate them. Education in this country would be far less of a problem if parents stopped "trying to find themseleves" in their 30s and 40s and grew up. The issue starts with the collapse of the American family. If you want to have free time and hobbies dont have kids. Edited 43 minutes ago by thenorthremembers 1
