I am convinced that people like this are taking marching orders from an elitist to dumb down the public schools deliberately so private school children have the advantage at the higher universities, thus creating the next Hunters and Chelsea’s of the world running this asylum.
Need a better plan to bring critical and logical education to all children - possibly defund public schools and consider using tax dollars for school vouchers. Fuck the Teacher’s Union. Enough.
Bush era school policies linking funding to high stakes testing is what ruined public schools. Schools only cared about the bottom 20% since those students ruin a schools rating. Also, Banning tracking initiatives is fucking stupid. If you are slow, you should be in a slow class/school. If you are quick you should be in a more challenging class that will get you ready for college if that is what your plan is.
Somewhere along the way admin figured out they could save money by combining all the classes and teaching to the weakest link while calling it “inclusion.” We used to be competitive and most students ENJOY competition, but now our best and brightest are basically ignored in schools because our bosses demand we focus only on the dipshit who won’t shut up and pick up a pencil.
Real example from pre-covid: Faculty meetings to discuss ISS and discipline referrals. Our numbers were going up and we were getting called racist (actual Obama policy to investigate and label schools based off data) because a disproportionate amount of black males compared to our school demographics was being kicked out of class. They brought numbers and showed a total loss of 1200 or so instructional hours across all suspensions (in school and out of school). I didn’t fucking care about that because those assholes did it to themselves. Those 1200 hours lost for them, were more like 50,000 hours gained for the kids who actually want to be at school and care about their education when they got a break from the shitty kids.
Also, for that data they don’t factor in repeat offenders. The 5 black dudes who get suspended or removed from class 25 times each accounted for 125 black male referrals. That doesn’t make us racists, it just makes the other 60-70 black males appear like they are discipline issues when they aren’t.
