Dave Ruben did a show on education and one of the mothers is now home schooling her children.
She made the point that schools no longer educate children, they school (indoctrinate them). Given what they are now teaching is schools, this is very true. No wonder the US ranks 27th in the world. There are those that set out to make the US average and they have succeeded.
DC apparently spends $31,000 per child per year and look at the results.
Legit, who does the schools help now? Teaching the world is racist and that you need to fight back, while also not teaching the skills that would allow you to rise above. All it does is create a generation of useless activists with no skills that society demands. In fact that is what we already have, and when their life sucks because they don’t have the skills to make their lives better and make bad decisions, they blame everything but the education system. They blame everything but their communist teachers who filled their heads with bullshit.
I am currently studying to get a minor in economics and one of my teachers is a Keynesian interventionist leftist and another is probably a member of the Chinese communist party. I’ve learned more from reading Thomas Sowell’s basic economics and watching George Gammon than both of those classes. This is my one hope: with a move to online education and other resources... real job skills and developments will be able to rise to the top in terms of educating. As a game developer, I plan to do my part in this field by developing educational games that teach real world skills, so that the kids learn enough to make their lives good enough that they don’t have to be rampaging activists.
Oh how I wish you could take classes from a college econ prof I know! A conservative at a liberal college. She is black so maybe that's why they hired her.
