Why teachers don't want the Bible studied in school.

[Unkotare]

Aren't most teachers atheists as well as the school boards?

NO.

That one. Children shouldn't be exposed to your beliefs on religion--yes, non religion is just as bad as pushing any other religion. The subject of religion or lack thereof should not be breached in public school. Do you understand what the 3 Rs are? Here's a hint--one is not RELIGION.

Don't kid yourself, kids bring it up.

All those are taught today.

But are they learning? Would you post some grades for us? When I was in school there were different grades depending on how well you learned your lessons.

Takes time away from teaching important things like reading and math.

Recall that widespread literacy began with the Reformation and the desire to read the Bible. People wanted to read so they could read the Bible.

... Would you post some grades for us? ...

Beside the fact that would be illegal, it's none of your business.

WTF are you blabbering about? Whether they learn and retain the material is an individual's responsibility.

You don't have to include names. Just give us some idea of how the kids are learning what you are teaching.

Private information. Illegal. Let it go.

No problem. I found it online. It appears that kids are learning about three quarters of what they are being taught.


The national average high school GPA in the U.S. is approximately 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, with variations by state, gender, race, and subject.

National​

The overall average GPA for high school students is 3.0, which corresponds to a B average. This figure has remained relatively stable since 2009, following decades of gradual grade inflation from 2.68 in 1990 to 3.0 in recent years. Core academic subjects such as math, science, English, and social studies tend to have slightly lower averages, around 2.79, while non-core subjects like physical education and electives average 3.39.

Subject-Specific​

Students generally earn lower GPAs in math and science courses (around 2.60–2.65) compared to English, social studies, and electives, which often exceed 3.3. This reflects the higher difficulty and grading rigor in STEM subjects.

Historical​

The average high school GPA has increased over the decades, from 2.68 in 1990 to 3.0 today, with a peak of 3.38 reported in 2017. This rise is partly attributed to grade inflation and increased classroom instruction hours.

Is there a gas leak in your house?

That 25 percent learning deficit is likely caused by distractions.
