The most conservative state in the Union is Mississippi.
Maybe the author of this thread can cut and paste some material showing us how much better Mississippi's school systems must be, compared to, let's say,
an ultra-liberal state like Massachusetts.
The person who doesnt pledge allegiance to a predetermined set of views but instead is pragmatic enough to see that the rational answers usually lay somewhere in the middle.PoliticalChic was homeschooled in a dungeon. Cut her some slack.
Of course rightwingers don't like any liberal influence in the educational system; duh, they don't like liberal influence in anything.
Of bloods & crips, is one "side" morally justified in its killings and drug dealing?
Politics is kind of the same way.
You don't point out the absurdity of a partisan-plagued world-view by spiddling the same leaves of different colors and calling it a win.
Well, if you've decided that no one is right, what's left?
Once you take up for a side, your view becomes warped necessarily as everything you read and interpret, whether you're strong or weak willed to an extent, is colored through that lens.
There is no greater example than our dumb-assed op here.
I can't see this level of outrage from her as being real, therefore it must be false. I hope she' getting paid as well, but her employer certainly isn't getting their money's worth.PC has had a bad week with fauxrage.
Not sure she's being faux, I think she lives in an actual bunker. Who else spends as much time as she does quote mining others' thoughts into incoherent pseudo jargain?
Hopefully, the bitch gets paid. Else,
One day I expect her to take a few simple facts, like the sky is blue, the earth spins, dirt is dirty, and people shop at Walmart, and come up with some way to say all those things are bad and it is the fault of liberals.

Um......"ultra-liberal state like MA?"
I thought there was a "Widespread Conservative Movement?"
I mean, this my team your team gotcha kinda bullshit can be fun and all, but it's also very sad and sometimes.....SOMEtimes, it's scary.
"I can't see..."
Oh, how true that is!
Have you sat in a classroom in the last 30 years?Funny thin is, I've raised kids for 30 years and I have yet to see much difference in what is taught, just that the timetable was moved up a year or two. When I was in 8th grade(1975) We had to learn Algebra.. My first son had to learn it in 7th(1992)..Today my 12 year old son is in 6th grade and learning Algebra..
Miss Coulter needs to get away from her glass house and try living like the majority of Americans do...if she wants to write anything that actually resembles what really goes on in the US, and not the occasional bumps humans have...that gets exploited for political points..

I believe she's done that just this week. See: this thread we're in now.
What a huge error to allow Liberals to control the public education system.....education is not in their plan.
The decline began when Liberals took control of the schools.
Another fact....a strong argument can be made that the quality of education provided varies inversely with the taxpayer money ladled into the system.
When, exactly, did the public decide that, rather than reading, writing, and 'rithmetic, producing little Progressive automatons was what was required?
I cut out most of the meaningless noise that typically accompanies your little partisan rants about "Liberals."
Your first ridiculous comment is, "Liberals took control of the schools."
Schools in the USA are governed by LOCAL entities. To a greater or lesser extent, the State government may exert some influence, but the Federal Government has very little to do with curriculum. While some States and Local communities might have more "Liberal" interpretations of the US Constitution, some States and Local Communities have more "Conservative" interpretations. MOST interpretations are a mix: Thus, it is Absurd to claim "Liberals took control of the schools."
Liberals took control of the system.
The fact that you don't know this is hardly out of character for you.....there is so much you don't know.
See, this is why I don't waste much time trying to have an intelligent conversation with you.
Clearly you have no concept about the argument you're pretending to advance, and rather that defend your absurd notions, you simply repeat them along with some cut-n-paste nonsense that more often than not is irrelevant.
Keep Croaking and Chirping

"See, this is why I don't waste much time trying to have an intelligent conversation with you."
Nah....the reason is that you want to....but don't have the intellect to do it.
In fact, you're like the eunuch in the harem...."He wants to, but he just can't."
Oh my, don't bring rationality into the thread.Does anyone think that if there are nations around the world who are doing better in education than the US, that it's because their educational systems are run by conservatives?
Name those countries.

You must know by now how much I enjoy showing you to be a fool...
...thanks for this opportunity:

Gotta love them Liberals!
Oh my, don't bring rationality into the thread.Does anyone think that if there are nations around the world who are doing better in education than the US, that it's because their educational systems are run by conservatives?
Name those countries.
"Mark Schneider, a former commissioner of education statistics at the Department of Education, the United States lags behind too many countries in “overall mathematics performance and in the performance of our best students.” And achievement gaps between different student groups within the United States, Schneider says, are “about the same size or even bigger than the gap between the United States and the top-performing countries in TIMSS.”

That merely proves you are blind.
Actually, no, Moonglow is correct.
Unless there's something about Math that you know that I don't (Frankly, I doubt this is possible) the subject hasn't changed much during the past 1000 years.
Math isn't the only thing taught in our schools.Have you sat in a classroom in the last 30 years?Funny thin is, I've raised kids for 30 years and I have yet to see much difference in what is taught, just that the timetable was moved up a year or two.

I have.
I agree. Moonglow has very accurately described the progression of teaching Math in the past 30 years.
There are different techniques for teaching Math. E.g. in 1975 Computers couldn't be used to teach, but Algebra itself hasn't changed since Babylonians began using it.
