When Liberals Control Education....

[PoliticalChic]

One more time?


The methods espoused by Liberals/Progressives clearly do not produce educated students.
They are a fraud and a scam.....as are so very many of the programs enacted by that group.



13. " Enthusiasm for discovery learning is not supported by research evidence, which broadly favours direct instruction. Especially during the early primary school years in areas like English and mathematics, teachers need to be explicit about what they teach and make better use of whole-class teaching.

Often derided as “drill and kill” or making children “parrot” what is being taught, the UK report and other research suggests that memorisation and rote learning are important classroom strategies, which all teachers should be familiar with.

The UK report states that teachers need to “encourage re-reading and highlighting to memorise key ideas”, while research in how children best learn concludes that some things, such as times tables and reciting rhymes, ballads and poems, must be memorised until they can be recalled automatically.

Trying to cater to everyone has no effect." MercatorNet 8216 Chalk and talk 8217 teaching might be the best way after all


So.....the research indicates that traditional....conservative....methods are the ones that work.
So does the poor results on international tests.

But....does that mean that the education industry will return to the successful methods?

Not a chance.

Therefore.....Liberals/Progressives must be banned by statute.

Actually, you support one of my suspicions.....I always believed that there is a certain affinity between stupid people and lying....perhaps a necessity in that precinct.

Stupid people aren't very good at lying actually, that requires thought, but they, like you, are terrific at believing and repeating propaganda and dogma, your stock and trade.

Antonio Gramsci was an Italian Marxist theoretician and founding member and one-time leader of the Communist Party of Italy.
Gramschi’s motto is that of liberals today: “that all life is "political."

Everything is political. Everything....including the instruction given to our children.


Since the education industry in America has been captured by one political perspective, the Liberal/Progressive, the result has been catastrophic.
Since they have taken charge:


1. ".... a teacher could no longer line up children’s desks in rows facing him; indeed, he found himself banished entirely from the front of the classroom, becoming a “guide on the side” instead of a “sage on the stage.” [In] elementary school, students in the early grades had no desks at all but instead sat in circles on a rug, hoping to re-create the “natural” environment that education progressives believed would facilitate learning. In the 1970s and 1980s, progressive education also absorbed the trendy new doctrines of multiculturalism, postmodernism (with its dogma that objective facts don’t exist), and social-justice teaching."

2. In 1989, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the chief professional organization for mathematics educators and education faculty, issued Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics. The document presented standards for grades K–12, including algebra. The underlying goals of the standards—never made clear to the general public—were social, not academic.

Some of the report’s authors, for example, sought to make mathematics “accessible” to low-achieving students, yet meant by this not, say, recruiting more talented undergraduates into teaching but instead the employment of trendy, though empirically unsupported, pedagogical and organizational methods that essentially dumb down math content.

Math educators proclaimed a brand-new objective—conveniently indefinable and immeasurable—called “deep conceptual understanding…. As Alan Schoenfeld, the lead author of the high school standards in the 1989 NCTM report, put it, “the traditional curriculum was a vehicle for . . . the perpetuation of privilege. The progressive educators, by contrast, support “integrated” approaches to teaching math—that is, teaching topics from all areas of mathematics every year, regardless of logical sequence and student mastery of each step—and they downplay basic arithmetic skills and practice, encouraging kids to use calculators from kindergarten on. ….”

3. "School Bans Teachers From Using Red Ink Because It’s Too Mean
.... teachers have been instructed not to grade papers in red pen because it is a “very negative color,” vice principal Jennie Hick told theDaily Mail. Green was suggested instead for corrections ...." U.K. School Bans Red Ink for Corrections Because It s Too Mean




As though it weren't enough that the Obama error....er, era, ....proved the fallacy of Liberal governance, now there is proof that John Dewey/Liberal education policies are just as much hokum.

Why do you conservatives not get the education and training and take over the education system? All that you do is complain about it, why not do something?

Because it is politically based, having nothing to do with credentials.....are you really that stupid?

1. 1. Department of Education is, of course, unconstitutional. The Constitution clearly states that powers not granted to the federal government belong to the states. So where is the impetus for its creation? Unions. The National Education Association (NEA)
   2. “In 1972, the massive union formed a political action committee…released ‘Needed: A Cabinet Department of Education’ in 1975, but its most significant step was to endorse a presidential candidate- Jimmy Carter- for the first time in the history of the organization.” D.T. Stallngs, “A Brief History of the Department of Education: 1979-2002,” p. 3.
   3. When formed, its budget was $13.1 billion (in 2007 dollars) and it employed 450 people. IN 2010, the estimated budget is $107 billion, and there are 4,800 employees. http://crunchycon.nationalreview.co...-department-education-not-radical/mona-charen 4. “In November 1995, when the federal government shut down over a budget crisis, 89.4 percent of the department’s employees were deemed ‘nonessential’ and sent home.” Beck and Balfe, “Broke,” p.304

The US has a vital national interest in the education of the citizens; that gives the federal government the justification for a department of education.

I strongly suggest you read the thread....specifically my posts...before you assign the disaster as "a bipartisan failure."

The causes and recommendations for remediation are therein.

If you'd like to disagree after, I'd be happy to entertain that argument.

"Stupid people aren't very good at lying actually,..."

And yet, in your posts....we have proof of the very opposite.

So basically this is a thread complaining about what is...and the only alternatives are wishes that havent been put forth by any republican.

They say actions speak louder than words

No, moron....this is a thread commenting on the inadequacy of the education industry, the causes of the inadequacy, Liberals, and the solution to same....banning Liberals.

"So basically....blah blah blah..." is a sign of said inadequacy, government schooling.

 

[PoliticalChic]

One more of the debilitations that Liberal control of the education industry has provided.....

Bogus!




14. "Lavish praise does no-one any good

One of the prevailing education orthodoxies for many years is that students must be continually praised and that there is no room for failure. The times when “4 out of 10” or an “E” meant fail are long gone. Supposedly, telling children they are not good enough hurts their self-esteem.

The UK report says that, while praising students might appear affirming and positive,

the wrong kinds of praise can be very harmful to learning.

Overly praising students, especially those who under-perform, is especially counterproductive. It conveys the message that teachers have low expectations and reinforces the belief that near enough is good enough, instead of aiming high and expecting strong results.

In the early years of primary school, children need to memorise things like times tables and poems and ballads so that they can be recalled easily and automatically. "MercatorNet 8216 Chalk and talk 8217 teaching might be the best way after all



Get that?

Another premise of Liberalism down the drain!



Gee.....this thread could have been soooooooo much shorter if I had listed the positive features of Liberal education policy.

.....invisible, actually.

The very fact that you believe in a Creator makes you irrational, since none can be found to exist.

I don't deny anything. Whether a Creator exists is an unknown, probably unknowable question. That is the only rational position, all others are subjective, like yours.

I never denied the existence of the Creator. You jumped to that conclusion when I said believing in a Creator is irrational, which it is. Denying a Creator, which we have no evidence for either way, is also irrational.

LOL! My Goodness, The Written Word makes Relative shifts in reasoning SUCH A BURDEN!

Yes... there seems to be some resistance to American Ideas in the GOP. We're working our way through that resistance, even as we speak. The Progressive insurgency didn't materialize over night, and dragging them out isn't going to happen overnight.

Just know that where you see: Tea Party, you see the advocacy to return US Schools to reason.

So for your position to be valid, I must not know how to read and your words cannot mean what they said.

LMAO!

I guess this is as good as any time to note that delusion is a side effect of this sort of perversion.

Your stupidity and assumptions are not my concern. Next time ask, don't assume, and you won't make a mistake
