Huge Advance In Education!

[ChemEngineer]

In answer to your question, no. That wasn't done the 21 years I was teaching nor in my kid's classes when they attended school from 1989 to 2012. It is also not in my grandchildren's classes which are in the 5th through 8th grades right now in three different school sytem in two different states.

Show me a school system where this is taught and I will show you a liberal dominated state or city.

The Department of Education is administered by the United States secretary of education. It has under 4,000 employees (2018) and an annual budget of $68 billion (2016).

Your last statement is completely irrelevant. How many students died during the shutdown?

Four thousand employees and the Department of Education educates NO ONE!

It wouldn't be missed if it were eliminated tomorrow. Nevertheless, current secretary of education, appointed by Trump, has to travel with a heavy security detail at a cost of millions due to harassment, intimidation, threats, and protests by..... teachers. Lovely.

I wouldn't even mind it being run by Liberals.....if they actually educated.

Sadly, they are utter failures at their supposed mission.

But eminently successful at indoctrination.

Let me give you a couple of reasons why they're so bad and so gullible.

1. Professor Walter Williams of George Mason University has stated that the TWO majors in college with the lowest average SAT scores are, get ready, education and sociology.

After graduating, many go on to graduate school where the two bottom scoring majors switch places.
I would have thought phys ed and art but education????

2. The average teacher graduated in the bottom third of their class. Yes, there are some very smart ones. We have to deal with averages however. For the record, I scored in the 95th percentile of my SAT and in the ATGSB as well. That is the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business.
Chemical engineering undergrad was a bugger. MBA school was a cakewalk. First one out the door after completing my Finance Final Exam in a class of 100 or so. Didn't need to bother checking my answers. I knowed they wuz good!

(Chic, I will PM you a letter where I corrected a bigwig in a New York bank in his own area of expertise. It was printed in a very prestigious newspaper.)

The University of California is a public school. And you cite MY "abject ignorance"? You're the teacher, not me. Your profession scored lower on average on SAT tests than any other major.
YOUR profession graduated in the bottom third of their class, on average. I didn't. So who's the ignorant one? You Leftists are so arrogant that you pretend to be smarter than anybody else while assuming that IF YOU WERE, which you are not, being smarter STILL does not make you right.

It's called lousy pay, horrible hours, and lack of respect for the profession.

Yes, the pay is for 180 days of work, and much less this year. Compare your "lousy hours" with those of the armed services, sleeping outside, carrying everything they own on their backs, and getting shot at. Do you make more than they do or less? The lack of respect is deserved.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Retirement pay is obscenely high for teachers.
Some superintendents in California are paid $250,000 a year instead of drawing social security like most of us. Sick. I have a friend who taught high school band. He drives a new Mercedes, of which there are many at public school staff parking lots.

Lousy pay, long hours, and lousy benefits are the reasons I agve you. You can ignore them if you want, but that is your ignorance.

Teachers work more than 180 days a year, mostly 196 for pay and ,ore that are unpaid for training, classroom prep, etc. Those days average about 2 hours prior and 4 hours after normal working hours. My kids memory of me when I am gone is sitting at my dining room table grading homework. Superintendents are NOT teachers and most of the time are at the 20-30 year point in their careers.

Retirement pay in California may be great, but it is the reason I left both of my teaching jobs. The first time was because of lousy retirement pay and the second was the threat by the state to take it away from me. Many teachers are not eligible to draw Social Security in addition to their retirement, which we funded 100% out of our meager paychecks. You could always tell the difference in the two parking lots at our schools. The teacher's parking lot was filled with clunkers held together with bubble gum and bailing wire, while the student lot was filled with current or previous model cars bought by the parents.

I served in the military for many years before becoming a teacher. If you did not, you are not qualified to make a comparison. By the way, I took a $20,000 a year pay cut from my last year on active duty compared to when I was hired as a teacher, and that was with 4 years service credited because I was military.

You can cherry pick your stats all day long, but I will tell you the facts. You can believe me or continue to wallow in your ignorance. The choice is yours.

"Coronavirus has parents looking at homeschooling

With the COVID-19 virus closing schools in China, South Korea, Italy, and the United States, parents are having to make a sudden and unexpected change in their children’s education. Most often, it means shifting education into the home.


This learning at home looks different in different places. In Hong Kong, the government ordered 800,000 students to take what the Wall Street Journal calls “a crash course in digital learning.”

In New York City, parents are already seeking out homeschooling resources that fit their children and their families in preparation for any school closings.

The freedom of parents to choose the kind of education that’s best for each child is something we’ve been advocating for more than 35 years.

Homeschool grads go to college, join the military, launch their own businesses, and start families. They serve in soup kitchens, run for office, fight fires, and give back to their communities in many other ways.

In fact, more than 1.7 million students are homeschooling in the U.S., according to the National Center for Education Statistics.If both parents are working, it is still possible to make homeschooling work through options such as alternating work schedules or one parent working from home. It takes creativity, commitment, and even saying, “No,” to some opportunities. But without the restriction of a traditional school-day schedule, families are able to carve out time together and even flex their homeschool schedule along with variable work schedules (such as healthcare providers or cross-country transport)."

"Democrat Says Working-Class Parents Aren’t Competent to Oversee Children’s Education


....working-class parents aren’t competent enough to oversee their own children’s education has sparked a political backlash and new charges that American progressives are out-of-touch elitists.

New Hampshire State Sen. Jeanne Dietsch was speaking on behalf of her bill that would limit parents’ access to alternative education choices currently available in the Granite State.

Education choice — charter schools, alternative public education, school choice, etc. — has long been a fissure inside the Democratic coalition. Education unions, who are extremely powerful inside the party, oppose these reforms. People of color, often with children trapped in failing public schools, frequently support programs that give them access to higher-quality education. "

I understand how important it is to simpleminded individuals like you to parrot the indoctrination, but perhaps no one ever told you that, no matter the metric, homeschooled students outperform your sort, the government schooled sort.


Standardized test results for 16,000 home educated children, grades K-12, were analyzed in 1994 by researcher Dr. Brian Ray. He found the nationwide grand mean in reading for homeschoolers was at the 79th percentile; for language and math, the 73rd percentile. This ranking means home-educated students performed better than approximately 77% of the sample population on whom the test was normed. Nearly 80% of homeschooled children achieved individual scores above the national average and 54.7% of the 16,000 homeschoolers achieved individual scores in the top quarter of the population, more than double the number of conventional school students who score in the top quarter. 1

A Harvard University (MA) admissions officer said most of their home-educated students "have done very well. They usually are very motivated in what they do." Results of the SAT and SAT II, an essay, an interview, and a letter of recommendation are the main requirements for home-educated applicants. "[Transcripts are] irrelevant because a transcript is basically a comparison to other students in the school."

I bet you wish your folks had loved you enough to take on the burden of homeschooling.

Perhaps there was a reason why they thought better of it......what does your psychiatrist say?

In fact, more than 1.7 million students are homeschooling in the U.S., according to the National Center for Education Statistics.If both parents are working, it is still possible to make homeschooling work through options such as alternating work schedules or one parent working from home. It takes creativity, commitment, and even saying, “No,” to some opportunities. But without the restriction of a traditional school-day schedule, families are able to carve out time together and even flex their homeschool schedule along with variable work schedules (such as healthcare providers or cross-country transport)."
Coronavirus has parents looking at homeschooling

Home schooling turns out weird kids. Most parents don't have the knowledge to teach their kids everything. And I hate to think what YOU'RE teaching your children, Polechik.

I understand how important it is to simpleminded individuals like you to parrot the indoctrination, but perhaps no one ever told you that, no matter the metric, homeschooled students outperform your sort, the government schooled sort.


Standardized test results for 16,000 home educated children, grades K-12, were analyzed in 1994 by researcher Dr. Brian Ray. He found the nationwide grand mean in reading for homeschoolers was at the 79th percentile; for language and math, the 73rd percentile. This ranking means home-educated students performed better than approximately 77% of the sample population on whom the test was normed. Nearly 80% of homeschooled children achieved individual scores above the national average and 54.7% of the 16,000 homeschoolers achieved individual scores in the top quarter of the population, more than double the number of conventional school students who score in the top quarter. 1

A Harvard University (MA) admissions officer said most of their home-educated students "have done very well. They usually are very motivated in what they do." Results of the SAT and SAT II, an essay, an interview, and a letter of recommendation are the main requirements for home-educated applicants. "[Transcripts are] irrelevant because a transcript is basically a comparison to other students in the school."

I bet you wish your folks had loved you enough to take on the burden of homeschooling.

Perhaps there was a reason why they thought better of it......what does your psychiatrist say?

I went to a private school. Hopefully you have no kids because you’re a fucking retard and certified loony tune. What does your shrink say about you?

Did the family address you in that manner?
I can tell from the language that you never went to any real school.

You live in a fantasy world where you’re not some meaningless bitch spewing out cut&paste all day. Do you even have a job?

You're not speaking to your relatives now.....watch your language, no matter how deeply my posts injure you.

I have said that unless we wrest control of education back from the Democrat/Liberal government schools, as earlier Republicans pried their slaves away from them, the nation has no future.

But....I couldn't see any possible way to do this........

"Coronavirus has parents looking at homeschooling

With the COVID-19 virus closing schools in China, South Korea, Italy, and the United States, parents are having to make a sudden and unexpected change in their children’s education. Most often, it means shifting education into the home.


This learning at home looks different in different places. In Hong Kong, the government ordered 800,000 students to take what the Wall Street Journal calls “a crash course in digital learning.”

In New York City, parents are already seeking out homeschooling resources that fit their children and their families in preparation for any school closings.

So you don’t have a job, got it. Not surprised either, you’re such a dumbass. Please don’t homeschool anyone, you’ll fuck them up for life.

Those homeschool students are the product of the more educated parents, this SHOULD rate higher. Also, were his results randomized or were the homeschool students selected? The source is the HSLDA which automatically makes it garbage.
