Betsy DeVos: Common Core is Dead

[Lysistrata]

The right -wing-nuts have been trying for years to turn American kids into the least educated in the developed world. Betsy cult-bitch is just their latest attempt to ensure that our kids cannot compete globally. We should have national educational standards, and high ones.

Give us examples?

Knocking common core without any thought of replacing it, teaching distorted "history" instead of real history, refusing to teach the kids anything about the world's cultures and religions, dumbing down science classes, including trying to teach religious dogma as science, putting fundies in charge of public-school textbooks so they can indoctrinate kids directly like they do in Texas (the goofy gablers are dead, thank goodness, but their political indoctrination work is being carried on by some trash fundie outfit known as "Educational Research Analysts"), trying to siphon money away from our public school districts to fund their private indoctrination centers. And more.

That's okay. The kids will be competing with China, Japan, Korea, India, and the rest soon, unless they get pregnant first and have babies on an annual basis that they can't support because people are too stupid to teach them about sex. How are they going to do this? Spout bibble verses at their competitors like betsy bitch wants?

Teaching distorted "history" instead of real history, refusing to teach the kids anything about the world's cultures and religions, dumbing downscience classes, including trying to teach religious dogma

So you want public schools to teach religion, but not teach religion?


The only indoctrination centers are the public school system it takes people years to grow up and realized they were not taught how to think, but what to think.. why do you think most kids are liberal????????

There is a very big difference between teaching about religions and attempting to indoctrinate the students in a specific religion.

Public schools are meant to teach critical thinking, and the better the teachers, the better the students perform. We were required to write papers explaining our conclusions about various topics, and it was emphasized that our conclusions were not as important as providing a specific explanation of how we arrived at it. We were given lots of assignments to "compare and contrast" two opposing views. It was not rote learning.

I find the amount of ignorance expressed by adults on USMB and other boards as to very basic subjects to be disturbing. For instance, so many seem ignorant of the basics of how the federal government works, who does what, who is appointed, who is elected, where do money bills originate, things that a tall ex-Marine with a very large college ring (a loud one when he slammed it down on the blackboard) drummed into our heads in junior high school.

What makes you think that employing critical-thinking skills would necessarily lead to the conclusion that conservative or right-wing viewpoints are correct?

Black kids in Chicago and many other democrat run cities can barely speak English and drop out at a very high rate. That's not the fault of conservatives.

Why do you only mention black kids? Plenty of whites are lagging behind as well, and not only in cities that are run by Democrats. This is why we need someone at the helm who knows what s/he is doing to improve our public-school systems, rather than an idiot like betsy cult bitch.

If the public school system is messed up as you claim it is, it wasn't the fault of conservatives like Betsy. The left has pretty much run that DOE beast from day one.

Common sense. If you have a penis you're a male. If you have a vagina you're a girl. According to the left, that isn't true.

Just because you don't understand tens and ones, doesn't mean common core Math is crap. The lines represent tens and the dots represent ones. Any 1st grader could tell you that.

Seems like you could use some common core math.

Common core equals going nowhere fast… LOL

The only way to improve our public schools is kick out the corrupt public Unions but we know that will never happen.

Is that why "Right to Work" states with no unions are doing so well?

The collective does not allow critical thinking

So you want to force people into the unions? That’s fucked up… LOL

Teachers don’t like common core. For good reasons.

Yes, teaching critical thinking. Like suspending children for using a peanut butter sandwich as a toy gun, thumb and finger as a toy gun, and a 6 year old for patting the butt of a classmate.

 

[Weatherman2020]

California requires history books to locate and include homosexuals involved in any historical events.

What does a persons sexual orientation have to do with their actions? I thought they were just normal people like the rest of us? Is it important to know Kit Carson liked big boobed brunettes?

Just part of the programming public schools do to promote perversion.

Common core is not sufficient enough to educate my kids

Does anyone on this thread actually understand what common core is? From discussions on this board, it would seem to be a communist conspiracy, and attempt to glorify the gay life style, and endorsement of sexual perversion, and an end of education in America.

I don't. However, if someone isn't in a union, they shouldn't reap the benefits of collective bargaining OR the union lawyers if they have a grievance. Let them start at the pay indicated before the union started gaining raises for their members (and health benefits)...and let them negotiate with the district themselves. I'm sure the districts will be more than fair to them.

why? can't you figure it out? I already went to school. Thanks.

By the by, nutter butter, did I give an opinion about common core or did I give an opinion about the hack who's suddenly worried about education?
