The discussion is about public education, and implied if the public is getting their money's worth.
So do many public schooled kids fail out.
Are you paying me to reply ?
Indoctrination usually happens in civics/history and subtle ways in other social sciences, English etc. It manifests in the high percentage of Leftists and the economics ignorance from public school students.

Nope. English is taught in Ukraine from the first grade. Even if that student missed all education until he showed up in your class, he understood "yes," "no," "hello," "goodbye," etc. What's more likely is that the kid was overwhelmed by too much change too fast and was struggling with an affective disorder that can make certain people taciturn when anxious or insecure. In certain circumstances it can even lead to selective mutism.
That's why I said heat, not temperature;
....
Difference Between Heat and Temperature
Heat and temperature are closely related but distinct concepts. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, and it dictates the direction of heat transfer. Heat, on the other hand, is the transfer of energy due to a temperature difference. It is the process of energy movement, while temperature is a state function that describes a system’s thermal state....

What have you specifically seen with your own two eyes in either of those subjects?

I didn't bring up home-schooling. You did! Oops!
Do you remember this:
Yet many home-schooled do better than those in the public schools.
Lots I am sure, but not for the same reason as being socially unprepared.
You ever had a 13-year-old home-schooled student dropped into your freshman Algebra class who could not add two two-digit numbers? I have!

Are you referring to yourself in the 3rd person now, Bob Dole?

This was more than 20 years ago only a short time after the Soviet Union broke up. He spoke no English. I had to pantomime opening his textbook and point to the applicable sections in the book. He was incapable of functioning in English in any way. I suppose that is why he answered "da" when I asked if he understood what I was saying.
I guess that was subtle way of calling me a liar. You were not there. No dice!

No, it is my direct way of telling you I know about languages and language acquisition. He might have been unwilling to take a risk and speak so much as "yes" or "no," but he did not "speak no English at all." It's academic since he obviously had a lot to learn and a lot of confidence to develop from there. He probably did so in due time. In my experience kids from Ukraine are pretty sharp.

You realize that if he responded that way to your question, he DID understand the question, right? Listening always precedes speaking, but IS a form of "functioning" in a language. It is an essential step in language acquisition. There is no way he understood your somewhat complex question and did not know the word "yes." At a certain age kids start to become very self-conscious about accents and grammar errors and such. On a different level, that's why adults are so often less successful in fully acquiring new languages.

Creating the proper voter base for voting to end freedom, anyway.Yeah that would be a big fat no. Can we admit public schools need some fixing? Public schools are turning out the ignoramus's needed to destroy the country.

Unkotare was just kidding, Winco. Unkotare was just lightening the mood, Winco. Unkotare meant no offense, Winco. Unkotare seems to have annoyed Admiral, but Unkotare didn't mean to.
This is a classic component of trolls, they prefer to not share anything about themselves, and lack imagination to even fabricate something phony.
It also leaves freedom to make up anything in a post that suits their agenda, even when it contradicts something from earlier posts.
Basically 'Charlie' it's the first sign and a big red flag you have no integrity or credibility.
And likely not the brains to see this was a clue to you.

You and Admiral Rockwell Tory realize that we are all educators, and you support things I say about education.
Yet, you hear me despise trump and therefore any other comments I make are "trumped" by the simple fact that you cannot handle ANY trump opposition or criticism.
Carry on.
I(Winco)DGAF about either of you.

You will know nothing and be happy. This Hartford Public High School grad can’t read. Here’s how it happened.
