They generally do seem to make an effort. But there is one...True, the mods are fair.
Does anyone really want to discuss education? Not rehashing one dead horse talking point endlessly, or decrying all teachers as monsters? Unions tend toward sucking, ALL racism is bad, and every profession has some nut jobs working in it. Ok? Do we have that out of the way now? Anyone interested in really discussing methodologies, challenges, teaching/learning experiences, or possible changes? We have established by now that some people are advocates for home schooling, vouchers, or charter schools. Some people want cameras surgically implanted in all teachers, rigged to explode if a parent sitting on the sofa at home sees something she doesn't like. Got it? Now, how about discussing education?
You're a pretty stupid kid.I could probably do that for 90% of this forum.

Mine was brilliant. He loved R&M. I bought him this book.
Apparently the point of that show sailed right over your head.
My son just graduated from a public school and entered university as a sophomore from the credits he obtained through high school classes and testing. Clearly it is what a family decides to make of it. Some parents cannot see past their own childish political fetishes and addictions to misinformation.I was homeschooled. lol My parents aren't insane Jesus cultists though so, they didn't poison me against public education.
IOW? You don't know shit about the topic, not really. You didn't live it, and yourself were unschooled.I was homeschooled. lol My parents aren't insane Jesus cultists though so, they didn't poison me against public education.
That's not an easy thing to do. You must be very proud.My son just graduated from a public school and entered university as a sophomore from the credits he obtained through high school classes and testing.

Mine did it too.That's not an easy thing to do. You must be very proud.
I am proud. But it was actually not too hard for him. Most kids are perfectly capable of performing well in a school.That's not an easy thing to do. You must be very proud.
I was just trying to be nice. I won't do it again.Mine did it too.
It isn't that rare.
The college magazine that came out just announced he got another scholarship.
You are very smart kid.I was just trying to be nice. I won't do it again.
Stop beating this stupid dead horse. If you dislike American culture so much, move to another country.......
(6) Yoot sports should be universally transitioned to the "club" paradigm, with zero connection to schools. If kids want to play jai alai, fine. Let the neighborhoods form a Jai Alai Club, fund a team, and compete against other club teams. In many if not most regions, there are already club hockey teams, club soccer teams, baseball and football teams, and basketball teams. These piggyback on top of school teams, adjusting their schedules when possible because they share many of the same players. The school teams are superfluous.

Hmmmm.......all the schools "sucked," huh? It never occurred to you that YOU were the problem? Don't blame the lipstick, pig........Then my family moved to the 'burbs, primarily to put my brothers and me into better schools, and they sucked just as badly as the urban hell hole institutions we fled.

Yeah, they tried to make him read and do mafs and stuff.Hmmmm.......all the schools "sucked," huh? It never occurred to you that YOU were the problem? Don't blame the lipstick, pig.
Do you realize that Colin Powell was a "C" student in college?Our education system has been largely unchanged since the 1950s.
It is amazingly tragic that this is the case.
Perhaps getting private industry involved would be the best solution to both get the unions and the government out of education.
We need to treat students as individuals. With an effort especially on identifying gifted students. As well as identifying students who simply cannot learn well in a "normal" class sitting... but blow other students out of the water in testing.
Our education system treats kids like little robots. As if every "model" is the same. Same lessons, taught the same way, at the same speed with ZERO regard for how well/poorly individual students do.
