American Public Education is Failing...and Getting Worse Every Year

[Hafar1014]

Ive given very rational evaluations of Biden's and Trump's economy. Most people think the economy is worse now. I havent claimed the Trump has ruined Biden's economy yet but there are signs of weakness. Employment dropping, layoffs increasing, corporate investment shrinking, hour worked getting cut back, multiple job owners climbing to record heights and inflation creeping up in everything except housing which has paused its growth due to weak economic fears... that's not good.

The rich are doing ok. The working class and poor are struggling. They werent killing it under Biden either.

Bidens economy was a disaster built on debt and government spending massive inflation and expensive energy.

This is the Adlerian(Alfred Adler) model of development based on teleology. Every human action has a purpose. Even the little choices you make. All are a path to an ultimate goal called the final fiction.
In Alfred Adler’s Individual Psychology, "fictional finalism" (or the fictional final goal) is the concept that human behavior is primarily driven not by past experiences, but by imagined future goals and ideals.
Here are the key aspects of this concept:

Key Features of Fictional Finalism

• The Imagined Goal: Adler believed we create a mental picture of a future state—a "fictional" destination—where we feel complete, secure, or successful.
• Motivator of Behavior: This goal, whether realistic or not, guides our current actions, choices, and "style of life".
• Subjective Reality: Because this goal is a personal creation based on our subjective interpretation of life, it does not need to be objectively real to influence us.
• Origin in Childhood: Adler proposed this goal is established early in childhood as a way to compensate for initial feelings of inferiority.
• Perfection vs. Pleasure: For Adler, the ultimate, albeit unreachable, goal is usually perfection or superiority, not just pleasure.

Yeah, and you still don't understand, however that may be all there is to life as far as you are concerned.
I am not even arguing with you, because I have learned that may be very true for some folks.

Anything you know is no longer waiting for you to discover.
Any desire to limit your understanding, is a desire to terminate learning, and most likely to justify everything in order to satisfy an imaginary hierarchy in attempts to find your place.

You dont understand the concept since your response doesnt relate to mine

Tell me again what you don't know and haven't figured out yet.
I mean I indicated you haven't understood a thing I have posted and even told you why.

A). I can hit you across the butt 20 times with a belt and not even leave a mark. It depends on HOW HARD to hit the kit, not the number.

B). I can pull you up by the hair while barely yanking your hair if I intend to. Again, a video shows what, but not how. Did it give any REASON?

C). Most of my friends grew up in strict catholic families where they were routinely beaten at home, then brutalized at school by nuns with humiliation and pain. All of them today are fine adult citizens with families holding sound careers as corporate managers and such with big families. Not one of them on drugs or with a history of crime nor homelessness or welfare.

As a teacher I do not want to lay hands on a child, not ESP one who is not my own.

We are so far from any kind of appropriate discipline in school that simply taking away privileges would be a start. But too many parents these days think their perfect angels can never do wrong and if this happens, it's the school's fault

Oddly enough, I have seen classes of children change rooms and teachers during the day behave incredibly different with it all having little to do with approved or unapproved disciplinary actions.

Some teachers can tap a skill that others cannot, and you will remember those who can in an entirely different way.

Some people are just sick, twisted perverts and LIKE hurting children.

Take math. Some people have a natural affinity for numbers and mathematical concepts, others do not. So why force all kids to learn differential calculus …

It is true that some people naturally have a greater ability to understand mathematical concepts and science. That doesn’t mean all students need to at least have a basic knowledge of these subjects.

This is true. Generally, if children sense that you genuinely like, appreciate, and respect them, that will be reciprocated. But this has been exploited to the point where even the most extreme challenges can be fixed by teachers "building a relationship" with the child, which is nowhere near realistic. Hey, if you bite, hit and kick me, I don't want to "build a relationship" with you. PERIOD

Perhaps it has something to do with teachers who can build trust (a relationship as you mentioned) through consistency and a little creativity at times, that asserts their power above all and out of conflict with the children, because there is no need for them to challenge what they do not even want to conquer (that could also be associated with kindness or respect).

I really think it is a skill, and I have seen it most effective when they bring the child to their understanding and then treat it in a way that connects with the child, but that is also unquestionable.

But anyway, I might be reading more into it than necessary, however I have also seen teachers try to imitate the actions of others and fail miserably.

Most people need a much stronger foundation in just basic arithmetic skills with some basic mathematical concepts pertaining to reason (such as boolean algebra) than they need to be skilled with radicals, j-operators, or differential calculus.
