No. If you think you made a valid point I didn't address, then post it. Since you didn't, I'll assume you'll acknowledge your ad hom attack was baseless and we can move on.
Ok. Since you didn't reread my post I assume you'll acknowledge just how much you enjoy huffing farts from sewer drains.
Stop shoving words in my mouth like I'm some senile fart that needs to be force fed alphabet soup. Gaslighting me for not reposting what you erased, when you could just go back a page, is such a lame way to start a post. Reading is easy. You as a teacher, should know that.
I have several ideas, but it doesn't matter. That's not our discussion right now. Our discussion is A) whether public education is doing a good job (and, for the most part, it is) and B) how to improve it.
I've answered A and B. You don't like my answer to B because you want to live in a fantasy world where education has never and is never changing and we can wave a wand and overnight improve education. I'm pointing out why your position is stupid. And that's our discussion.
I don't like both of your answers. Public school isn't good and you still haven't fully answered B either.
Because the "how" is not important to this discussion (though your statement here is false as I've already pointed out several things which can be done).
How is not important? Ok sure.
Filling a hypothetical car with hypothetical gasoline is not pointing out solutions to society's lack of enthusiasm, that's just a imaginary scenario. You've said nothing of substance.
Now let's see if you can go all the way with that line of thought and realize that what you are saying about education is nonsensical. Here's a hint...if you cannot figure out how parents can make a child want to learn, then how do you expect teachers, who see the child far less than the parent, to do so?
Did I not just mention a better counseling system, or do I need to repost that as well?
We do. We even have a name for the concept. It's called "differentiated instruction". Look it up. And then realize, yet again, why a teacher with a Master's degree in education is telling you that you don't know what you are talking about.
I googled it. Just found some explanations of the concept. Where is the law requiring its use in public school? Oh wait, there isn't one.
Unless my high school was breaking the law, this isn't required, it's just a thing that exists. Some teachers are encouraged to use it, some teachers are told that their paycheck depends on how many of their students pass standardized tests. That isn't a good system.
And maybe you can figure out this is already happening? That the movement of differentiated instruction has been pushed for nearly two decades?
I didn't realize it only took two decades of pushing for a problem to go away completely. So racism must have gone extinct over a hundred years ago right?
Some schools doing some nice things doesn't mean every school is good. The fight isn't over so why are you presenting an active effort as though it were an established fact of school?
You have NO idea how utterly ignorant to modern day education you sound right now. Absolutely ignorant.
So there haven't been over a million students arrested by school cops for petty behavior violations in the past two decades? Good to know when I watched an officer slam a student's head into the cafeteria table, with zero warning, that was just my imagination. He was actually just gently escorting him to a top of the line therapist's office.
Thanks for clearing that one up Mr. Adhominem!
