I just watched some of the videos. I'm a high school teacher so I'm used to leftist garbage. I got my school district reprimanded by the state a few years ago because the admins told us to vote against school choice. Anyway I digress.
The videos are absolutely pointless. The language was cringe as fuck but the curriculum changes they proposed could have been thought up in 5 minutes.
One video spent 30 minutes explaining how math classes should get students to explain many different incorrect answers that could be arrived at. This already exists. It's called the Singapore model. Another video was literally just about grouping students of different backgrounds together.. but it pushed in a bunch of filler leftist jargon. "BIPOCS learn best in mixed environments."
Another "educator" proposed changing the names in example problems to reflect diverse names - something teachers have been doing since the 80s. If you stripped away the identity politics, you could boil it down to a single paragraph.
These people were clearly just including SJW crap so they could get paid doing "new" professional training hours. It was just so damn lazy. I guess I should be pleased to see the insanity is just the vocabulary they're using but I can't believe how incredibly lazy these leftists are at even propaganda.
Math by it's very nature demands accuracy. Can't balance an equation otherwise, which is the most basic concept. Only explanation for this BS is that they think black people are too stupid.
Education is a huge, festering bubble filled with at least a half million too many jobs. Administrators, college education professors, corrupt unions, useless teachers - this is partially just leftists trying to prove their jobs are even necessary when they're not
The best teachers I know seem to be the ones who are negatively impacted the most by all the edicts from above. The people who don't care simply do as little as possible and collect their check. Thanks for all that you are doing. Still, I can't imagine being a student in today's world and taking any of this seriously.
Do you feel that's the correct answer? Who are we to tell you that what you feel is wrong? Thank you for expressing yourself. You DO have a voice. And its fantastic that you felt empowered enough to share your voice with us today. You get an A+, xir! Well done!
"...You are so smart! Now, go outside and play, your trophy will be ready by the time you get back. "
We are in real trouble..
Hopefully you called out the bullshit? Let people know that it's about China more so than racism? They need to be put in their place. Crying about it without pushing back is worthless.
I need to clarify.
My district isn't offering the training. I watched it on my own time to see wtf it is even about
Please take up your grievances with the powers that be and put a stop to this shit before the kids hear it. God bless.
