Recognizing What Schools Have Become

1. Mandated government schooling is no longer meant to do what was once its mission.
Earlier American presidents, Republicans and Democrats alike, agreed on two basic goals: teach the newcomers English and make them Americans. The clear aim was to strengthen our national identity--to reinforce the unum in e pluribus unum--by assimilating the new arrivals into American civilization. http://www.aei.org/article/society-and-culture/anti-americanization/
Today, government school has a very different mission......but is highly successful at it: it turns out Leftists.


2. "The Teachers’ Unions Will Shoot Their Hostages
Increasingly bizarre demands aim to prevent any return to school

For America's kids and parents, the reopening of schools in coming weeks is a source of fear and frustration. For teachers' unions, always claiming to "put the kids first," it's another opportunity for politicking.

On Tuesday evening, just before a slated speech by presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten announced that the national union would back strikes by local members objecting to inadequate health and safety standards. That threat marks progress insofar as a strike would see teachers forgo pay if they abstain from work, the same choice facing many other Americans.

We do not begrudge teachers the right to negotiate a safe work environment. But teachers' unions like the AFT have gone beyond calling for increased safety measures which, even if adopted, would not satisfy their demands for a zero-risk environment. The Durham Association of Educators has demanded Medicare for All and "direct income support regardless of immigration status" before their members go back to work. United Teachers Los Angeles also wants Medicare for All, the defunding of the LAPD, and a nationwide wealth tax before Angelino teachers return to the classroom."

"Those age 20-49 have a 0.0092%, or nine deaths per 100,000 infections. As for children age 10-19, the rate drops to 0.00032%, or three deaths per 1 MILLION infections.

It's understandable that mainstream media and Democrats do not want this information known because it would eliminate the need for locking down the nation, at least for those under 50-years-old."

Given their political attitude, it's little surprise that, according to a Department of Education spokesman, the unions are more focused on striking than on coming to the table to determine how to reopen schools safely."

If you hate schools so much then why are you complaining about them not being open?

Where did I say I hate schools?

I hate what you Liberals have done to education.

Due to your disability, you may not see the difference.

Your entire OP is about how liberals have destroyed schools. So if the schools are destroyed leftist government controlled institutions then why are you bitching about them being closed?

American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten announced that the national union would back strikes by local members objecting to inadequate health and safety standards

Good

let the teachers strike and then shut the public schools down entirely to be replaced by distance learning free of marxist brainwashing

I think this is a perfect time to replace every far-left Marxist teacher with someone more in line with American values.
The teachers can stay on strike but the president can take over schools the way Obama took over TSA and just federalize the school system.
Then he could impose regulations that require background checks on all teachers. Any with known associations with leftist groups like ANTIFA, BLM, or Communists would be rejected.
He'd probably have to wait till he wins re-election to do it, because the left will try to stop him and claim he's Hitler.

How?

How did the Democrats use a virus to turn us into a socialist/fascist state in 4 months?
By using a novel approach.
Clearly there are provisions in the constitution that allow the president to takeover the school system. Abraham Lincoln suspended rights and privileges during the civil war.
Isn't this a civil war?

"Clearly there are provisions in the constitution that allow the president to takeover the school system. "

I don't believe so.


But.....they can change the tax regs to encourage homeschooling and voluntary schools.

I participated in such as a home school mom, with others, teaching classes.

So how did Obama takeover private companies?
How did he takeover 2/3rds of our health care industry?

All he needed was a Supreme Court that rewrote laws from the bench.

Point being that it makes no sense to complain about something and then refuse to figure out ways to do something about it.

I was told 30 years ago by a Kuwaiti Intelligence agent that America's greatest weakness is our freedoms.
Our enemies have been diligently working to undermine our freedoms since WWII.
I know it's a scary thought to some....but we are under assault by enemies within.
We have to do something about it rather than sitting meekly by and just letting it happen.
That's what the left is counting on from us.

 

[Mac-7]

Schools closed so parents are unable to go back to work.

Get it?????

I had not thought of it that way

but that should only affect one parent instead of both

The latest results from the Nation’s Report Card show declines in student performance across demographics.

2. MATH AND READING SCORES for fourth- and eighth-graders in the United States dropped since 2017, and the decrease in reading achievement has government researchers particularly concerned.

3. "Over the past decade, there has been no progress in either mathematics or reading performance, and the lowest performing students are doing worse," Peggy Carr, associate commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, said during a press call Tuesday.



4. ...declines in reading at both grades were also seen at all levels of achievement, whether students were high- or low-achieving, with the exception of the highest achieving fourth graders.

5. "Over the long term in reading, the lowest performing students – those readers who struggle the most – have made no progress from the first NAEP administration almost 30 years ago," she said.

6. ...the scores of lower performing students declined in three of the four grade-subject combinations and those drops are what accounted for the overall drop in average scores."

4. "These demands have nothing to do with the coronavirus or even education more broadly. They have everything to do with the unions' cozy relationship with the Democratic Party's activist wing. The AFT routinely donates millions of dollars—98 percent of its political spending—to Democrats, the same party that has repeatedly used the coronavirus as negotiating leverage in Congress.

Given their political attitude, it's little surprise that, according to a Department of Education spokesman, the unions are more focused on striking than on coming to the table to determine how to reopen schools safely."

But when the virus came, our soldiers didn’t abandon the country, and our doctors didn’t abandon the sick. If we want to get the results we expect, parents will need to break the unions.'

If you hate schools so much then why are you complaining about them not being open?

Where did I say I hate schools?

I hate what you Liberals have done to education.

Due to your disability, you may not see the difference.

Your entire OP is about how liberals have destroyed schools. So if the schools are destroyed leftist government controlled institutions then why are you bitching about them being closed?

Try to use adult language.

Begin here: although the government school certainly do indoctrinate........are you prepared to claim that they do the job of teaching??????


Before you embarrass yourself further.....consider this:

1. "Across the Board, Scores Drop in Math and Reading for U.S. Students
The latest results from the Nation’s Report Card show declines in student performance across demographics.

2. MATH AND READING SCORES for fourth- and eighth-graders in the United States dropped since 2017, and the decrease in reading achievement has government researchers particularly concerned.

3. "Over the past decade, there has been no progress in either mathematics or reading performance, and the lowest performing students are doing worse," Peggy Carr, associate commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, said during a press call Tuesday.



4. ...declines in reading at both grades were also seen at all levels of achievement, whether students were high- or low-achieving, with the exception of the highest achieving fourth graders.

5. "Over the long term in reading, the lowest performing students – those readers who struggle the most – have made no progress from the first NAEP administration almost 30 years ago," she said.

6. ...the scores of lower performing students declined in three of the four grade-subject combinations and those drops are what accounted for the overall drop in average scores."

Yes, schools teach. I’m a high school coach so I work very closely with the kids. They are smart as hell and people like you who think it’s all Politics need to get a clue... in reality they are teaching a Curriculum that has very little politics involved

One more time, moron:

“The Dumbest Generation”​

“To Mark Bauerlein, a professor of English at Emory University, the present is a good time to be young only if you don't mind a tendency toward empty-headedness. In "The Dumbest Generation," he argues that cultural and technological forces, far from opening up an exciting new world of learning and thinking, have conspired to create a level of public ignorance so high as to threaten our democracy.

If the new hours in front of the computer were subtracting from television time, there might be something encouraging to say about the increasingly interactive quality of youthful diversions. The facts, at least as Mr. Bauerlein marshals them, show otherwise: TV viewing is constant. The printed word has paid a price – from 1981 to 2003, the leisure reading of 15- to 17-year-olds fell to seven minutes a day from 18. But the real action has been in multitasking. By 2003, children were cramming an average of 8½ hours of media consumption a day into just 6½ hours – watching TV while surfing the Web, reading while listening to music, composing text messages while watching a movie.

This daily media binge isn't making students smarter. The National Assessment of Educational Progress has pegged 46% of 12th-graders below the "basic" level of proficiency in science, while only 2% are qualified as "advanced." Likewise in the political arena: Participatory Web sites may give young people a "voice," but their command of the facts is shaky. Forty-six percent of high-school seniors say it's " 'very important' to be an active and informed citizen," but only 26% are rated as proficient in civics. Between 1992 and 2005, the NAEP reported, 12th-grade reading skills dropped dramatically. (As for writing, Naomi Baron, in her recent book, "Always On: Language in an Online and Mobile World," cites the NAEP to note that "only 24% of twelfth-graders are 'capable of composing organized, coherent prose in clear language with correct spelling and grammar.' ") Conversation is affected, too. Mr. Bauerlein sums up part of the problem: "The verbal values of adulthood and adolescence clash, and to enter adult conditions, individuals must leave the verbal mores of high school behind. The screen blocks the ascent."

What frustrates Mr. Bauerlein is not these deficits themselves – it's the way a blind celebration of youth, and an ill-informed optimism about technology, have led the public to ignore them. "Over and over," he writes, "commentators stress the mental advance, the learning side over the fun and fantasy side." Steven Johnson, in his best-selling "Everything Bad Is Good for You," describes videogames as "a kind of cognitive workout." Jonathan Fanton of the MacArthur Foundation writes that children have created "communities the size of nations" where they explore "new techniques for personal expression." Such assessments, Mr. Bauerlein argues, are far too charitable.

Mr. Bauerlein contrasts such "evidence-lite enthusiasm" for digital technologies with a weightier learning tradition. He eulogizes New York's City College in the mid-20th century, a book-centered, debate-fostering place where a generation of intellectuals rejected the "sovereignty of youth" in favor of the concerted study of canonical texts and big ideas.

Good job, Liberal.

 

[Slade3200]

....or, 'Liberals destroy everything they touch.'

1. Mandated government schooling is no longer meant to do what was once its mission.
Earlier American presidents, Republicans and Democrats alike, agreed on two basic goals: teach the newcomers English and make them Americans. The clear aim was to strengthen our national identity--to reinforce the unum in e pluribus unum--by assimilating the new arrivals into American civilization. http://www.aei.org/article/society-and-culture/anti-americanization/
Today, government school has a very different mission......but is highly successful at it: it turns out Leftists.


2. "The Teachers’ Unions Will Shoot Their Hostages
Increasingly bizarre demands aim to prevent any return to school

For America's kids and parents, the reopening of schools in coming weeks is a source of fear and frustration. For teachers' unions, always claiming to "put the kids first," it's another opportunity for politicking.

On Tuesday evening, just before a slated speech by presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten announced that the national union would back strikes by local members objecting to inadequate health and safety standards. That threat marks progress insofar as a strike would see teachers forgo pay if they abstain from work, the same choice facing many other Americans.

We do not begrudge teachers the right to negotiate a safe work environment. But teachers' unions like the AFT have gone beyond calling for increased safety measures which, even if adopted, would not satisfy their demands for a zero-risk environment. The Durham Association of Educators has demanded Medicare for All and "direct income support regardless of immigration status" before their members go back to work. United Teachers Los Angeles also wants Medicare for All, the defunding of the LAPD, and a nationwide wealth tax before Angelino teachers return to the classroom."

Good job, Liberal.

You’re spam has nothing to do with schooling... the issues it addresses has to do with the effects of internet, social media, video games, and the smart phone era. Traditional areas of education are suffering from the different lifestyle our children are being raised in while other areas excel.

you’re trying to attribute blame to the school when the problems you point out are being caused by culture and technology.

Try making your own arguments from now on and make them on point.... I rarely read the random spam you copy and paste. Waste of time
