And Now About Democrat Education Experts.

1. This seems to be the plan those Liberal Educators use:

“To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and call whatever you hit the target”​

― Ashleigh Brilliant


2. How should one judge whether students are being educated? Today and unimaginable, indefensible, plan by Democrats. Here, from Red State:

San Francisco Public Schools to Trot Out 'Grading for Equity.' What Could Possibly Go Wrong?​

3." San Francisco's public high schools will implement a sweeping change to their grading system this fall, replacing traditional methods of grading that will allow students to pass with scores as low as 41 percent."


4. "Similar policies across other Bay Area districts—such as Dublin, Oakland and Pleasanton—have seen mixed results and strong community reactions. Dublin Unified attempted a pilot of equity grading in 2023, which included removing zeros for missed assignments and awarding a minimum of 50 percent for any "reasonably attempted" work."




5. "Under the policy, homework and class participation will no longer count toward final grades. Instead, students’ grades will be based mainly on a final exam, which they will be allowed to retake multiple times.

Additionally, attendance and punctuality will have no bearing on students’ academic records."

More retardation. Maybe Trump is right to try shutting down Ivy League schools if this is what graduates from them.

Can you show where he is "shutting down" any?


And, can you make an argument where Democrat Policies are better?

These:

Race and gender preferences

Language police

No punishment for criminals

Open borders

Attacks on the Supreme Court

Transgender sports competitions

Antisemitism

Wealth tax

Cancel culture

Welfare State

Government run healthcare mandates

Sanctuary Cities

Two-Tiered Justice system

I don't know. #5 might be reasonable. If they can pass the final, they know the stuff. It doesn't matter how many times they take it. This would apply to passing vs not passing.

1. If you still believe it is a valid system to educate American students, perhaps you'd care to explain this:
Over 20 foreign nations produce far more educated students than the American 'education' system.

2. Call me cynical, but based on the product, I'd say that government schooling is to turn out little Democrats, indoctrinated automatons who don't research the propaganda they are fed, and join the 74 million who voted for the socialist in the last election.

A Connecticut honors student is suing her school district, saying she is illiterate.

The 19-year-old, who spent 12 years in the Hartford public school district, testified at a May city council meeting, explaining her unique situation and how the educational system failed her."

Oh, I agree. The leftwing education system is a Marxist indoctrination center, no question. I was just commenting on that one pass/fail point. Just in the way students can take SAT tests repeatedly, in a pass/fail situation, it only matters what you know in the end.

I hope the tax bill passes and home-schooling will be deductible.
Maybe lots more will take advantage of that opportunity.
We're a home school family.
