Trump considering taking $3 billion in Harvard grants, giving them to trade schools

[TemplarKormac]

I'm sure some few do, but I don't do any of that and I don't see it in my colleagues' classes.

Whether through ignorance, willingly, or unwittingly, you underestimate how many teachers teach what passes for acceptable curricula in America these days, and how many of them do it knowing full well the quality of the curriculum is severely lacking.

But I grow weary of this subject. I'm not here to force you to do anything. I only introduce my viewpoints, hoping they hit open minds. That's it.

People aren't going to be going to trade schools in huge numbers unless you first put vocational training back into high schools. Gotta get em when they are still young and impressionable.

You seem to interact with a small segment of our society, based on your mention of interactions with your colleagues . ...

I interact with a very great many people on a daily basis.

Last point:

This encapsulates my point. I will say nothing further.

It's still there.

"Gotta get em when they are young and impressionable"......

Sounds like a leftist applicable statement or agenda that is quitely used by the left when wanting to indoctrinate, brainwash, school, and/or etc.

Not applicable to your post in context Dekster, but that part of it just stuck out when thinking about the radical left and it's agenda's when it comes to educating the children in a lot of other things. It's something that Ron DeSantis has been fighting and cleaning up down in Florida for a while now.

I see stupidity on constant display on social media platforms, Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, any platform that allows you to share your views with the world. ...

You talk about interacting with "normal" people and your references are all social media?! That's not "normal," and it's anything but the real world. Go outside.

...

I can clearly tell you are a teacher of some sort, because your biases inclinate you toward defending them instead of critiquing any of their practices. ....

What "biases"? I tell you what I really do or do not see in real schools in the real world interacting with hundreds of real students face to face, not on some online "platform," and you pretend to know better because you have an account on instagram or some such nonsense?

And yet you can't see how much our culture has impacted their capacity to learn, how it's impacted teacher's capacity to teach.

The "real world" does not consist of the area encompassed by a school building. I don't pretend to know, I know. Because the real world extends far beyond the classroom or who you interact with in a controlled setting.

Anyway, I'm going to unfollow this thread. It was nice talking to you.

It's as if you think people on social media aren't living, breathing human beings or are not "normal."

I have said multiple times I would stop but I am still here.

Good day.

I'm not sure why you want to pretend you know more about what goes on in school and in the classroom than a teacher IN a school who has been teaching for over 30 years. A Facebook account does NOT make you an expert in, well, anything.

 

[Unkotare]

And yet you can't see ...

I see, with my own two eyes in the real world. Go visit a school and see for yourself, because this is not working for ya.

...

They are NOT normal! People act like jackasses and buffoons on those things to get attention or followers or clicks. Sometimes they are just algorithms responding to key words. IT'S NOT THE REAL WORLD.

...

You started out trying to tell me what goes on in schools and now you're saying that you know better because you encounter "the real world" on social media? That's NOT the real world. I've already told you that I interact with a great many people every day outside of school as well. Next?

Yeah, like those "best and brightest" from Islamic shitholes. Clearly we need many more of those.

Yes, America needs to attract the most talented people from around the world.

That is what propelled the nation into global preeminence in science, medicines, and other disciplines since WWII.

China and others will exploit the brain drain that the blowhard is causing.
