They have been "taught how to teach" but they know nothing about the subject they're teaching. When I was a lad back in the olden days, my math teacher was a math major, my history teacher was a history major, my English teacher was an English major, etc. This was back when schools were almost entirely local, and the teachers non-union. So if the math major wasn't a good math teacher, you fired him and got one who was. Only teachers who were competent in their field and capable of transmitting that information to the students got tenure. The rest got the boot.<br /><br />I almost think we could win the upcoming elections just by quoting the Democrats.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-11932476693278873712012-07-09T11:46:44.260-04:002012-07-09T11:46:44.260-04:00rlaWTX: Thanks.

Safer, too. I wonder how come so many of these educational disasters have "south" as part of their description. But then, there's East L.A.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-82646240236087091192012-07-09T11:23:17.847-04:002012-07-09T11:23:17.847-04:00Hawk, I haven't read comments yet; I just had ...Hawk, I haven't read comments yet; I just had to give a shout out to this awesome line of yours: "a gathering of prairie dogs is more coherent and educational than most of our present public schools".

They are <i>really</i> difficult. Those schools were heavily influenced by the churches, the mention of God was not forbidden, and sixth graders were better-educated than our high school grads today. Even their overall science skills dwarf those of the average modern student, though there have of course been many advances in science since that time. Catholic schools still teach science, not "Catholic science," which is more than the madrassas can say. Jewish schools still teach mathematics, not "Jewish mathematics."LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-53475252487606810912012-07-08T18:25:11.102-04:002012-07-08T18:25:11.102-04:00Tennessee: Oops.

At first it was subtle, then increasingly radical. They softened people up, and now they promote things we would have laughed at as recently as the late 80s. Political correctness and bilingualism have played a big part. They also count on uncaring parents to think that the schools know best. <br /><br />Then of course there are the unions, which protect teecherz hu cant spell yoonyun and prevent good teachers from being rewarded.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-16482528786161632732012-07-08T18:22:00.745-04:002012-07-08T18:22:00.745-04:00A.
