Teachers Celebrate Death of Charlie Kirk

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Students who do not excel - the average ones - will stay in high school where they master basic academics, and then enroll in a trade school or certificate program.

Better yet, have two tracks for senior year: the good to excellent students remain on a college prep track, and the average students can select from a range of job-oriented specialty tracks.

Not everyone is college material.

If you knew anything at all about public schools you would know that this has been in place for years. Apparently, you don't!

Every high school in Kentucky has vocational centers for students to attend classes located in adjacent counties. Two of my high schools are collocated with the vocational school next door. In Florida, my district had 17 regular high schools and 3 vocational prep high schools. That was in place nearly 30 years ago.

My two grandsons are on the vocational track, and my granddaughter is on the college prep track.

Wake up and smell the coffee and stop watching TV so much.

That was the case even when I was a kid and they offered dinosaur maintenance on the curriculum.

Actually, a lot of Jewish students attend Catholic schools when Jewish alternatives aren’t available.

I’ve never heard of a Catholic school that rejects paying students who are Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, or Atheist.

We actually never had much of an issue with that because we simply didn't have any Jewish students period. Not too many in rural KY or northern Florida.

They’re there, who else is going to run the banks and do the taxes?

They just keep a low profile.

I guess the blue states don’t have that. They want every Tom, Dick, and Harry to go to college, no matter how medicore.

My son graduated in 2006 and had classes in welding and metal work. All three of my kids were on the college prep track and eventually went to school. My son after the Army but he could not finish his degree because he was diagnosed with cancer. My older daughter is a paramedic and my youngest graduated with a biology degree and became an Army officer. She is currently between jobs but is going to work in the business software field.

You might want to check as this has been the trend for many years, but you could be right. That's why I won't live in a blue city or state and only taught there for 3 years. I was tired of them and they were tired of me, so we parted ways.

I hope your son’s OK now.

I hope your son’s OK now.

He is really doing well. he is actually working on getting trained to be a boxing coach as he took that up after he got well. Thank you for your wishes!

Also wrong.

We are graduating kids that can't even read...

Bumper sticker.

But one hundred percent accurate. HS seniors are "graduating" despite being illiterate, innumerate, and barely functional.

You don't want us to be educating our children the way children are educated in China. You really don't.

Really? You must be a mind reader, a regular Nostradumbass!

There are guidelines. My grandson had ADHD, and is autistic. He reads just fine, and he graduated in May.

Which is, of course, totally irrelevant to what you replied to! Your post is nothing but a (feeble) deflection.

100% ignorant and disingenuous. Here you are again pontificating on things you have no experience with.

No, I "must" be someone who knows that the hell he's talking about. Have you ever witnessed first-hand how students are educated in China? Or in the US for that matter?

What high school seniors? How many? Where? When? How would you quantify your claims given your complete lack of knowledge or training in the field? Or did you just read some hysteria piece on Google? Yeah, thought so.

Your straw man is dead, put down the club.

Now you lie.

You don't care. You will ignore (or deny, regardless of how many facts are presented to you) any facts in favor of screeching and throwing shit like a chimpanzee on meth.

I didn't think so.

 

[Unkotare]

You don't know what that means either, huh?

 

[Unkotare]

...



You don't care. ...

Now you duck direct questions - AGAIN.

 

[Jarlaxle]

I didn't think so.

Thank you, again, for proving me correct.

You don't know what that means either, huh?

Of course I do. This threatens your false sense of superiority.

 

[Unkotare]

Thank you, again, for proving me correct.

...

Oh, so you have witnessed first-hand how students are educated in China? It's ok to answer a question once in a while, really.
