Serious?

[80zephyr]

Anyone interested in a serious discussion about education? Any non-educators have any questions about what really goes on in the classroom instead of stereotypes and assumptions? Any educators want to share stories from the front lines? Anything?

I am a non educator. Spent most of my life in construction. Now, my guess is that most teachers never spent a day working in construction, so they would tend to know very little about the inner workings of the field.

However, most of us spent at least 12 years of our lives going to school, so the inner workings of schools are not a foreign concept to us. When we question whats happening in a classroom, we already have been exposed to most of it.

Just my.02

No, you really haven't. A student sitting in a classroom is not an experienced educator. That's like saying you are a dentist because you've had a wisdom tooth pulled. An adult who remembers little to nothing of what they think they saw 40 years ago is not qualified to expound on pedagogy.

And I know lots of teachers who have worked in construction.

I disagree. You can't be a part of something for 12 years without having an opinion of what is happening in schools. .....

Mark

Opinion based on what?

On what I see. I believe you have commented on politics. I doubt you have ever ran for office. What qualifies you to have an opinion?

Dearborn, Michigan: a divided city grappling with what it means to be Muslim and American

What's your point? That was from 2017 and nothing has happened in Dearborn, MI. Looks like this article was trying to rile up whites to vote Republican. Center left my ass.

Google “Dearborn MI Sharia” and see what you get. Especially on YouTube. It is disturbing. How many openly Jew hating Congress persons have an (R) next to their names?

I see a 2 year old article. Nothing current. In other words, I see nothing.

FACT CHECK: Has a City in Michigan Become the First in the U.S. to Fully Implement Sharia Law?

YouTube a video. It’s shocking. You’re floating in a river in Egypt.

I'm not going to listen to what paranoid Jews think about muslims. They make up 1% of our population in America. You'll survive. You have more to worry about with white nationalists. Isn't it starting to remind you of Germany in the late 30's?

Is there a prize for biggest jerk on USMB??

What's the prize? Are you trying to win?

 

[SweetSue92]

As to the original op, it seems to me that we are producing to many kids that can parrot a left wing political views and yet can't read. Math is a foreign language, history is whatever you feel. I can't say it's everywhere but it is continually growing.

I interview and hire high school graduates, It's quite frankly frightening. I'm not sure they can spell their own name, and people will think I'm kidding. I'm not. 18 year olds that can't spell the city they live in. Get the current year wrong, by 3 or 4 years. 18 year olds that have made it to the second round of interviews that can't answer 6 X 48. The last time I used that out of 6 high school graduates 1 got it wrong another wrote in" I don't know". Frightening.

A few years ago I read an article speaking about remedial reading programs at Ivy league schools. How in the F#$% do you get into an Ivy League school when you can't read?

That's appalling. And no doubt there are inept and bad teachers in the mix there.

But let's just say that ALL those students came to school, from age 5 on, ready and motivated to learn. That the teachers did not have to do any remediation, including teaching them basic human things like putting on and zipping a coat in Kindergarten. Or sharing. Or the basics of table manners.

How would things change?

I got 1/3 the way through a business masters. Had a 3.4 when I quit the program. I'm sure that's more schooling than Don Jr ever had.

He dates Kevin Garnett?

I quit because I got a better job that paid $10K more. I was working at University of Phoenix and getting a free masters. When I quit it was no longer free and to be honest, a business masters from University of Phoenix wouldn't have made a difference in my life.

Some say it could be a bad thing because potential employers see it and think I'm overqualified. Hell the guy who hired me to do the job I do now thought I was over qualified and that's without a masters on my resume.

But, I will be honest, I wish I would have stayed working at University of Phoenix and completed the masters. The job I went to ended up not working out. I didn't make very much as a Phoenix but I was getting a free Masters. I should have stayed. It would have only taken me a little more than a year to finish.

The typical University of Phoenix Enrollment Counselor salary is $42,648. ... When factoring in bonuses and additional compensation

I'm doing alright without a masters. I'll probably make 6 figures this year.

Hey, great news. Yesterday I just upped my 401K an additional 10% of my salary. My checking account is growing too fast. I just put $20K in a 13 month cd and it's only making 2.6%. So it's better that I have the money taken out of my paycheck pre tax right? Of course I won't be able to touch that money like I can the CD in 13 months but I don't need it. I can't imagine needing it.

So I'm not sad I quit the program because it led me to this job. 7 minutes from my home and making $100K? Fuck I hit the lotto you dope.

Hey idiots. The only point I was trying to make is that I have more of an education than Don Jr. He has a BS in economics. I am 1/3 the way to having a masters. He's not.

I wonder how much Trump paid to get Don Jr. in to that school.

Eastern Michigan University, a regionally accredited university. Equal to all other schools except the few exceptions like University of Michigan and Michigan State University. Those are top notch schools.

Is UPENN like UofM or MSU here in MI? Those are better schools than the rest of the schools in Michigan. All the other schools are just regionally accredited universities as far as most employers are concerned.

But UofM and MSU are the best schools in this state. Is UPENN the best school in your state? Or is Penn State the top school in your state?

Listen to Ike Barinholtz on the Howard Stern show. He called a conservative radio host and listen to all the horrible things he says that she agrees with.

Scary shit because we all know that's how a lot of white nationalists feel and right now you are going along with them.

Right at the end he said "jews too" and she said, "absolutely" LOL.

You know why I stopped? Because I'm a Republican now remember? I'm anti education. I was sick of being brainwashed by liberal socialists.

Keep in mind that it's the GOP who attack education. It's a joke. YOU are a joke.
