Since it Keeps Coming Up...

The best way to teach kids is to let them in on it.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Then you were doing something wrong. Parent-teacher conferences are regularly scheduled throughout the academic year, and I reach out to families at other times to come in (or online) to discuss students who have areas they need to work on as well as those who are doing particularly well. Both are just as important. "Something you would know if..."

Wasn't looking to impress you, just correct you. Again.

Your eagerness to make a fool of yourself is remarkable.

I should have known this would happen. I expose your sock puppetry, so now you obsess over me.

...

That you would be prove wrong again? Yeah, you should have known.

 

[Unkotare]

We have all been through the system and know...

We have all flown on airplanes. Does that make us all pilots or airplane mechanics?

 

[Unkotare]

Public run education is more like indoctrination that education.

Period.

You have been talking out your ass on this thread. Period.

 

[Unkotare]

Public schools place more emphasis on college prep than in the past, which flies in the face of our need for blue collar technical skills.

More students are pursuing vocational paths now than 40 years ago, and any absurd negative connotation with it is long gone. New voc schools are being built all the time, and many have long waiting lists.

 

[Unkotare]

Correct, they are less concerned bout the viability of training in schools that will get them jobs than they are allowing students to take in insane amounts of debt for a degree that they will use to get a job working a McDonalds.

This is, of course, false.

To the chagrin of the colleges.

Someone's got to build and maintain the goofy things the college grads design.

My favorite is an island in the middle of a residential intersection with a sign with arrows that indicates a driver should go around the island. It serves no purpose whatsoever. Other islands planted with flowers in the spring are overgrown with weeds by summer's end. College educated landscape architects design more such projects than the city street crews can maintain. Maybe they should communicate with each other.

Public service announcements encourage property owners to keep leaves out of the gutters in front of their property so they don't wind up in the storm sewers. Then they assume that people are actually going do it. Few do and the leaves wind up clogging the storm sewers and adding polluting nutrients to the lakes.

They also announce that street 'sweepers' will remove leaves from the gutters when rain is predicted. They seldom do and the rain washes the leaves into the storm drains and out into the lakes.

Again, you've figured out unk. No-content one-line posts, self-quoting, postwhoring, mindless insults, personal attacks, and deflection.

 

[Votto]

This is, of course, false.

No, it is true

Colleges are not preparing kids for the job market

And if that is Unkotare's version of a social life, so be it.

I just hate that he claims to be a teacher. At best, he escorts severe and profound kids to Woodshop and Home Ec, and tries to keep them from hurting themselves with the blades and the hot oil. They always give that job to the most expendable para, like one with attendance issues.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Thank you for proving my point yet AGAIN.

The parent teacher conferences is where things got heated, once parents saw that the school boards were disinterested in their complaints and dismissive.

No Cow-Ledge Gradchewit Should Be Conceited and Insulting About His Expertise

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Wrong again.

Because a person should be referred to as "who," not "that," which reveals a judgment that humans are inanimate objects. "A teacher's aide who..."

Not at All What Kids Respond To

The way the rulers' education treats students is unnatural and ineffective. There is no tangible reward, punishment, or relevance.

Unpaid training means nothing more than buying a job. It is an insult to talent to do things that way. It violates what Rightists hypocritically preach about incentive.

Teach a man to fish, and he'll starve to death before he learns how to do that.

Thank you for the correction!

The proper sentence is: If Unkotare is part of education at all, he is an expendable paraprofessional (teacher's aide) who monitors special needs kids in Woodshop to keep them from losing fingers to the table saw.

Scrooges Screw Themselves and Deserve No Sympathy

Businesses expect to freeload off "education" being free minor leagues for them. The NFL does that with college football, but at least the eweniversities and jockstrap-sniffing pedophile alumni give the players the equivalent of $600 a week, plus free tuition.

Our Present College Education Is a Fraud and Should Not Be Rewarded

You refuse to admit how godawful eweniversity gradchewits are, no matter what their field or GPA. Uncle Kotex is typical and seems totally genuine to anyone who understands that this system can't produce anyone better than he is.
