As I sit here watching Fox News Sunday, I noticed that they were going to spend the hour on improving schools.
1st , let me say it’s the wrong question. We need better teaching. In the past they did better teaching in 1 room schools. In the past, for sure we have done a great job of improving the buildings but we have done horrible at imparting knowledge and skills. In tmes past, 3rd graders learned to read the Bible; more difficult than what 3rd graders read read today. Why shouldn’t our kids know how to read at least as well as times past? It is certainly the most important thing any 3rd grader should learn, not sex ed.
I have 2 suggestions to improve teaching. Keep the federal government out of schools. More importantly, keep dems away from determining what is taught. It is, afterall, the dems and the NEA that has decided 1st graders should be taught about sex, instead of the alphabet.
As usual, the dems sure like pointing fingers at other people, other things, and, of course, viruses. They actually have the nerve to blame the China virus. Let’s get real. The ares that are having the worst results are dem controled.
Moreover, it wasn’t the virus so much that caused the problems but rather revealed them. It was only when the kids stayed home that they realized what their children were being taught.
Again, may I remind one and all, the conditions in the pasr have been far worse. Moreover, never before have our teachers been more educated. Never before have the students learned so little.
By the way, never before was sex ed so so prevalent, especially in lower grades.
Incidentally, one woman on the show said Bush started Department of Education. Wrong. Google it for yorself. I won’t say. However, I will ask was the woman ignorant or lying.
