I gotta admit that schooling has now become more about "social engineering" and "propaganda" rather than learning the 3 R's which is what is really required in todays world, but hey, what do I know.

You think and communicate clearly...you couldn't have learned that in school.

Must be an inherited trait I guess.

These people are bound and determined to mold the ability to commit common sense right out of the population so they are then malleable and easy to rule memebots.

A dictatorship lasts longer if loyalty to the State is higher than it is to 'family'. Yet family is the most important factor for the ones that desire to be the dictators. It is also quite clear that healing does not come from inside the wayward group. They are 1/10 of 1%, time suggests that they will be 1/100 of 1% in the future so even Jews should see the handwriting on the wall.

I think the anti-bullying campaigns in schools was a good thing...heartfelt and well-intended. The upshot, though? The lines got so blurred as to what is and what isn't bullying, that everything became offensive.

So now you're left with an intolerant generation seeing ghosts around every corner. It really is a lousy way to live.

LORD KNOWS I do enjoy slapping at teachers for being greedy, lazy selfish civil service union HOGS who are engaged in a HUGE conflict of interest by selling their votes to our grossly irresponsible LIE-beral overlords!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But I do not blame teachers for the bullying and socially unacceptable behaviour so many kids are displaying these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The alleged "anti bullying campaign" in schools is on a par with the alleged efforts of LIE-berals to "make Canada better"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is just fuzzy feel good CRAP- designed to cover major faults and flaws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The need for school bullying campaigns is a direct result of LESS adult supervision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In "olden days" kids walked to school- with other kids whose company THEY CHOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The kids often walked in company with or near to older siblings and etc............


In a society where most mothers were at home- a kid with troubles could count on swift help either from older siblings or adults!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Compare that to the current deal where most houses are EMPTY through the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Or if the house is not empty - then it is occupied by a snoring shift worker who will not hear kids fighting on the street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In olden days- a kid on a school yard could count on back up from older relatives or a teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In these modern times- teachers regard playground supervision as an IMPOSITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



In olden times neither teachers nor parents were so militant about "civil rights" and thus teachers were EXPECTED to intervene and administer discipline as needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Teachers were seen as SURROGATE PARENTS- with all the rights and obligations of parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now of course teachers have shied away from administering ANY DISCIPLINE AT ALL due to militant parents and social jjstice warriors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The one single traditional discipline tool has BEEN TAKEN FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Teachers can NO LONGER tell a mis-behaving kid: "you will be staying after class for a detention"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Kids ride the bus now and if the kid is in detention then SOMEBODY has to pay for the cab ride that will take the kid home after missing the bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here is how bad the social justice warrior crap has become:


Some years back a kid from a visible minority was walking down a high school hallway, finished up his can of pop and dumped the empty can in a corner.................................


Unfortunately his principle spotted his act and ordered him to pick up the can and dispose of it properly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Defiant kid- who knows the "modern" rules of evidence- denies the can is his!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The discussion continues in principles office with kid continuing his defiance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Eventually principle threatens a 3 day suspension for the kied unless he cooperates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No deal- so kid is suspended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And next morning the kid is back at principles office- accompanied by both parents AND THEIR LAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And principle is on his own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


NO BACK UP FROM CRAVEN COWARD SCHOOL BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So principle gets to eat CROW and the smug kid goes back to class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So what social message did either the kid or principle learn about tossing TRASH????????????????????????????



And kids simply do NOT know how to cooperate in games any more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In those olden times- kids LEARNED standardized rules from older siblings so they could fit smoothly into the usual school yard games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But those days are GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Kids fight now because they lack the social experience and training to AGREE on rules for games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Too many kids are isolated and not getting any help or advice from older siblings because they often do not have such an advisor and instructor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And kids have become all to familiar with the LIMITATIONS of adult authority thanks to day care and those daily bus rides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



In olden times the kids would visit each other in their houses...........if a kid acted like a dork the kid would be ejected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


An ejected kid would then have time to consider how and why other kids are being invited in while he IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In such a situation there is incentive to consider altering social behaviour to win acceptance and inclusion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There is pressure to conform to standard acceptable behaviour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The kid in daycare HAS NO such pressure to be socially acceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Daycare kids are prisoners of their setting- they are thrown together for a set period of time regardless of preferences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The kid in daycare who finds himself dealing with somebody he does not like CANNOT simply send the offending kid away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Nor can the offended kid chose to LEAVE in order to escape unpleasantness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And of course the adults at daycare are tending to multiple kids- the daycare worker CANNOT do as a frustrated mother at home would do and simply send some rude kids HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And of course the daycare worker has no more ability to discipline a kid than a typical teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And once kids start riding those school buses- they enter the Wild West!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There IS NO LAW ON A SCHOOL BUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The kids are TOTALLY ON THEIR OWN ON A BUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The driver is paid to DRIVE- NOTHING MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The driver who stops the bus in order to deal with a problem HAD BETTER HAVE A DAMNED GOOD REASON for doing so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A school bus halted in a non scheduled stop is a big deal for time strapped parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Delays in getting the kids home cause trouble and worry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And of course the driver MAY make a report to school authorities or his boss- and so what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The driver is concentrating on the road- or ought to be- and will often MISS the first minutes of a problem that is beginning to fester!!!!!!!!!!


So in the event that any adult attempts to unravel fights or trouble on a school bus - it quickly degenerates into he said/she said etc- with NO RESOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And God help the teacher who calls in parents to discuss their child`s antics on a bus or school yard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Time strapped parents BLAME TEACHERS for not maintaining control and discipline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our school boards manage our kids in the same way our LIE-beral overlords manage our economy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They want to PAPER OVER THE CRACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


School boards are focused on SHRINKING problems and hiding them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


School boards lack EITHER THE RESOURCES OR DESIRE to resolve social problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And of course school boards have that HUGE DILEMMA- the problems are being CREATED BY LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So if LIE-berals are voted out- then teachers get LESS GRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Rank and file teachers have largely thrown up their hands in despair of ever solving any school problem and are resigned to simply putting in their time till they can collect the solid gold pension!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I know of one former teacher who swore she would rather serve coffee at Tim`s than go back to another classroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There are about 15,000 graduates of Ontari-owe teacher college every year...............but there are omly about 5,000 new hires!!!!!!!!!!!!


What it comes down to is that the teacher who too often sends miss-behaving kids out of class so they cannot disrupt the learning opportunities of other kids- will be CONDEMNED as not being able to control the class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


With that phrase "control the class" being a euphemism meaning PAPER OVER THE CRACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-beral policy has decreed that peace in the society is more valuable then real education or the solution of social problems since real action on education or social problems MIGHT entail LOSS OF LIE-beral votes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Teachers must ride along........or seek other work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And senior educators are merely slaves to LIE-beral policy that DEMANDS that all problems be HIDDEN AT ANY COST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Too many of our kids would be better off being raised by WOLVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


NOBODY is in charge any more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Nobody is setting standards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anarchy RULES while LIE-beral overlords rave on about our "booming" economy that is setting record debt levels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And LIE-berals wonder why our kids are so cynical and convinced that our society is full of SH+T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a load of rubbish. Students are far more well-behaved today than they were in the 60s and 70s. I recently asked a longtime teacher why that is, and their response was 'because teachers are required to show them respect in return'. It goes both ways, and kids these days are miles ahead of any MAGA-hat conception of school and student behavior.
Oh, and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fine looking chap .


So if we made him prime minister.................would he waste as much as Our idiot Boy and insult as many people????????????????


That student Prez has already demonstrated he understands how to BUY FRIENDS?????????????


Here is a nice article proving what I have said before about the danger of proportional representation-that miserable excuse for democracy that prime minister Justin Trudope is determined to push on us. AS I have said before-a proportional representation system gives extremist groups undue power. Statistics Canada has already stated that Cdn debt rises fastest under a LIE-beral/NDP coalition. With two parties sharing power, there are two separate `wish lists` to be paid for.

One has only to look at Italy or Greece to see the consequences of multiple parties sharing power-something like 70 govts Italian in 65 years. This is NOT a plan for stability or long term planning. Proportional representation ONLY fuels big govts, civil service union Hogs and major debts while the economy collapses. Here is the article, along with some comments of my own in brackets):

Small parties, extreme power. By Lorrie Goldstein, Toronto Sun. First posted: Monday, August 08, 2016 04:36 PM EDT | Updated: Monday, August 08, 2016 04:53 PM EDT

Passage of an anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) resolution at the Green Party’s national convention Sunday illustrates the dangers of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan for electoral reform.

Sadly the Greens, both in Canada and internationally, spend an inordinate amount of time targeting the Mideast’s only democracy for human rights violations, especially for a party which claims to be focused on the environment.

They also passed a watered-down motion, at party leader Elizabeth May’s urging, originally intended to target a specific Jewish charity for alleged human rights violations, by expanding it to include any charity they say violates human rights.

May said she opposed the “polarizing” BDS resolution and the BDS campaign.

But she also recently objected to Parliament’s passage by a 229-51 vote of a resolution condemning the BDS movement, which said, correctly, that its purpose is to de-legitimize Israel. May, absent for that vote, called it an attack on free speech.

(Oh that is NICE! May is doing a fine LIE-beral style job of talking out of both sides of her mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The larger point is the Greens, having endorsed the BDS campaign their own leader says she opposes, illustrate how easy it is for narrowly-focused special interests to capture the agenda of small parties to promote their own ideologies.

Indeed, the Greens recently had to start their process for expelling one of their own members, a Green candidate in three elections, after B’nai Brith uncovered a video of her espousing Holocaust denial.

(Israelis themselves denounce the undue power given to extremist groups in THEIR government by proportional representation. While European leaders denounce the power given to extremists of both the right and the left by this failed proportional electoral system!)

The danger here is that replacing our first-past-the-post voting system with proportional representation will result in small parties wielding an enormous amount of power, well beyond what their seats in Parliament will merit.

(And BOTH Israelis and Italians have complained about the political chaos sponsored by proportional representation and a horde of lunatic fringe parties jockeying for position!! And the New Zealand govt experimented with electoral reform and then went back to first past the post!)

The reason is that since victorious federal parties rarely win over 50% of the popular vote in elections, proportional representation will lead to frequent minority governments, where major parties have to make deals with smaller ones, who often have very narrow agendas, to stay in power.

Perhaps many Canadians would have no problem with the Greens supporting an international boycott of Israel as part of a governing coalition, and using their political clout to try to turn that into government policy. But how would they feel about a party whose main platform was to oppose abortions, or shut down Canada’s immigration system, doing the same?

(And I ask: how would Cdns feel about an Islamic party insisting on the implementation of Sharia Law in Canada in exchange for their votes at a critical time? Muslims have ALREADY approached our Ontari-owe govt about enforcing Sharia Law “in their community”. And we know that Muslim groups believe that it is the fate of Canada to be come a Muslim nation. How desperate could a political group get about hanging onto power?)

(Let me point out that the LIE-beral/NDP alliance WAS WILLING to share power with Bloc Quebcois-with the Bloc retaining TOTAL VETO POWER over all Federal legislation! Yes-the LIE-beral/NDP coalition was willing to give huge power to a group sworn to destroy Canada! So would they be willing to do deals with Muslim radicals to hang onto power in future?)

An illustration of this failing with proportional representation occurs, ironically enough, in Israel, where there are numerous small political parties, some with very narrow agendas, including extreme religious views.

The problem is they often wield political power far beyond what their numbers in the Knesset warrant, because of the need for Israel’s three major parties — Likud, Labour and Kadima — to form coalitions with them in order to obtain or stay in power.

There are safeguards that can be put in place in a proportional representation system to reduce this risk, such as setting a high threshold of the vote a party has to obtain to win seats.

(But of course Justin Trudope-Our brainless Boy will not install ANY sort of safeguards on the new system he wants to dump us into. The ugly truth is that he wants to jam up the wheels of govt so it cannot ever be steered away from HIS value system-and we should remember that the Trudopes are hardcore communists-with father Pierre Trudope openly praising Chairman Mao for “his willingness to rush thirty million Chinese to the gallows’ in order to consolidate his power. The Trudopes despise what they see as western imperialism-Pierre Trudope went so far as to call the British/Canadian war against Nazi Germany as `Imperialist`!)

But the possibility of unintended consequences — of extreme political agendas being imposed on the public that most people don’t want — is always there.

(But sadly -imposing extremist agendas is exactly what LIE-berals want to do in their Brave New “post nationalist World”!!!!!!!!!!!)

Way to go Kreskin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You have spewed INCREDIBLY DELUSIONAL LIE-BERAL GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You have explained precisely why so many kids today are IN DISTRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




A teacher is a surrogate PARENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


CHILDREN must be taught to OBEY their teachers for the same reason they must be taught to obey a parent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Failure to obey a parent results in CHAOS - and often results in danger for the child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The disobedient child may get run over by a car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Or be injured or injure others with reckless behaviour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The disobedient child is more likely to fail in school, more likely to have a hard time holding a job, have a harder time paying bills, have a greater chance of abusing drugs and alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Personal discipline is a hard thing to learn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And the child in the real world EARNS RESPECT by OBEYING ADULT COMMANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just as the ADULT EARNS RESPECT - AND MONEY - by obeying the COMMANDS of a BOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SOME LIE-berals like to point out that Innuit do not spank their kids..........................and apparently that is true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Innuit HAVE NO NEED to spank their kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Because the disobedient Innuit kid starves or freezes till they learn the LESSON FOR THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The traditional Innuit lifestyle simply had NO ROOM FOR SCREWUPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



THAT is the foundation of respect and social courtesy -for everybody EXCEPT LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin Charged With Mail Fraud in Massive College Exam Scheme

According to NBC News, the alleged scheme involved getting students admitted to elite colleges and helping potential students to cheat on their college entrance exams. The colleges in question included Georgetown University, Stanford University, UCLA, the University of San Diego, USC, University of Texas, Wake Forest, and Yale.
In the arrest warrant, Huffman and her husband, William H. Macy, allegedly “made a purported charitable contribution of $15,000 to KWF [a college prep company] to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her oldest daughter. Huffman later made arrangements to pursue the scheme a second time, for her younger daughter, before deciding not to do so.”...……..read more in link

Isnt that nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cheating is a GROWTH INDUSTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Used to be that cynics made nasty jokes about how rotten teachers ensured the kids learned just enough to be able to fill in the welfare forms and mark an X for a LIE-beral candidate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Much more if this LIE-beral influence and govt will have to HIRE PEOPLE to fill in the forms for our kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here is an article illustrating some muddled attitudes. With some comments of my own in brackets):

GUEST COLUMN: Black self-sabotage
Special to Postmedia Network. Published: November 27, 2017. Updated: November 27, 2017 4:15 PM EST
Filed Under: Toronto SUN/Opinion/Columnists

By Walter E. Williams

The educational achievement of white youngsters is nothing to write home about, but that achieved by blacks is nothing less than disgraceful.

Let’s look at a recent example of an educational outcome all too common. In 2016, in 13 of Baltimore’s 39 high schools, not a single student scored proficient on the state’s mathematics exam. In six other high schools, only 1% tested proficient in math. In raw numbers, 3,804 Baltimore students took the state’s math test, and 14 tested proficient. Citywide, only 15% of Baltimore students passed the state’s English test.

(These sort of numbers are WAY BEYOND anything that a teacher can resolve! In fact I defy anybody to point to another time in history when such a large part of the population simply dropped out and refused to participate! This stuff is a form of collective madness- and it is cops who get to deal with the fallout!)

Last spring, graduation exercises were held at one Baltimore high school, 90% of whose students received the lowest possible math score. Just one student came even close to being proficient. Parents and family members applauded the conferring of diplomas. Some of the students won achievement awards and college scholarships.

(One really has to aks if it is helpful to respond to total failure in such a delusional fashion! No need to be insulting to kids bedevilled with social problems and dysfunctional families but such massive pretending is not useful either! Surely it is insulting to DENY on such a scale? Praise un-deserved is sarcasm veiled?)

Baltimore is by no means unique. It’s a small part of the ongoing education disaster for black students across the nation. Baltimore schools are not underfunded. Of the nation’s 100 largest school systems, Baltimore schools rank third in spending per pupil.

(That Baltimore fact gives the lie to Ontari-owe teachers claims they would get better results with more money! Throw money at teachers and all you get is massive debts and wealthy teachers!)

Baltimore’s black students receive diplomas that attest that they can function at a 12th-grade level when in fact they may not be able to do so at a seventh- or eighth-grade level. These students and their families have little reason to suspect that their diplomas are fraudulent. Thus, if they cannot land a good job, cannot pass a civil service exam, get poor grades in college and flunk out of college, they will attribute their plight to racism. After all, they have a high school diploma, just as a white person has a high school diploma. In their minds, the only explanation for being treated differently is racism.

(Is this educational FAKERY at the heart of the racial divide? Are Black people that profoundly ignorant of the world? Much has been made of the failure rate of black kids in college- it seems they get in on a quota system- that the college SHOULD have a certain number of blacks- so the “best educated” blacks are allowed in on that basis- and then THEY FAIL because they cannot do the work and NOT because of racism!)

Let’s look at math. If one graduates from high school without a minimum proficiency in algebra and geometry, he is likely to find whole fields and professions hermetically sealed off to him for life. In many fields and professions, a minimum level of math proficiency is taken for granted.

Let’s look at just one endeavour — being a fighter jet pilot. There are relatively few black fighter jet pilots. There are stringent physical, character and mental requirements that many blacks can meet. But fighter pilots must also have a strong knowledge of air navigation, aircraft operating procedures, flight theory, fluid mechanics and meteorology. The college majors that help prepare undergraduates for a career as a fighter pilot include mathematics, physical science and engineering.

What’s the NAACP response to educational fraud? At a 2016 meeting, the NAACP’s board of directors ratified a resolution that called for a moratorium on charter schools. Among the NAACP’s reasons for this were that it wanted charter schools to refrain from “expelling students that public schools have a duty to educate” and “cease to perpetuate de facto segregation of the highest performing children from those whose aspirations may be high but whose talents are not yet as obvious.” Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys is a charter school. In 2016, 9% of its students scored proficient on the state’s math test. This year, over 14% did so. It’s in the interest of black people for more of our youngsters to attend better schools. However, it’s in the interest of the education establishment — and its handmaidens at the NAACP — to keep black youngsters in failing public schools.

Few people bother to ask whether there’s a connection between what goes on at predominantly black high schools and observed outcomes. Violence at many predominantly black schools is so routine that security guards are hired to patrol the hallways. The violence includes assaults on teachers. Some have been knocked out, had their jaws broken and required treatment by psychologists for post-traumatic stress disorder. On top of the violence is gross disorder and disrespect for authority.

The puzzling question for me is: How long will black people accept the educational destruction of black youngsters — something that only benefits the education establishment.

(The ugly reality is that black kids are apparently being streamed into select schools largely to PROTECT white students from black kids carrying a hopeless and destructive attitude! The nation NEEDS well educated and disciplined school graduates to keep the economy functioning- dumping black kids with what amounts to mental health issues into other classes where the students are actually learning will HARM the more successful kids- and hurt the main stream economy! The hard question is what to do with black kids whose attitudes are so poisoned? The LIE-beral habit of bleating about systemic racism is NOT HELPING! Letting black kids off the hook- for their own failings by encouraging them to think of themselves as victims ENTITLED to some sort of blood money from white people will NOT encourage blacks to move ahead in any sensible way!)

I'm pretty sure people who are 12 and older could qualify for a phd long before the age of 25 if the classes were online so the 'student wakes up already in school' so anything related to getting from home to classes and back is now all study time. There are lots of diy sites so you can get specific training without any other knowledge being required.

teacher should be able to handle 100,s if students when they are all on a monitor and the lesson is from years ago that was recorded one time and being replayed 1,000's of times.
That would also mean the family has this as an interaction that builds stronger relationships rather than teaching the students the older ones at home are 'retards' rather than 'uneducated' (by design).


15 minutes of watching a master weld broken plastic is all you need to get started. After you go through a lit of practice you have a skill that would get you an income. Getting the 500watt tool is the hurdle that cannot be overcome in most instances.

or vile comments against one of their own
You mean the 'dreaded self-haters' that pop up in all groups that have flaws??

Why does the group also tend to think it is already perfected even through all the past points to changes being needed before any big advancements show up?
