Whatever, I once sat in the gifted kids classroom by mistake.
42, I gave you some numbers not that long ago that show improvement in US public schools. Everyone hates public schools.

Indeed, which proves his point, and mine. The public school system is a leveling anchor.
- ZappaIt pays to make the U.S. school system a crock of shit because the dumber the people are that come out, the easier it is to draft them, make them into docile consumers, or, you know, mongo employees. There are plenty of yuppies out there with absolutely nothing upstairs. Graduate airheads with PhDs and everything but they don't know anything.
Forgive me, but I do not remember the numbers you posted.Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 2:13 amWhatever, I once sat in the gifted kids classroom by mistake.

In regular classes teachers are supposed to be applying methods that cater to as wide a range of kids as possible. I understand that practically speaking that's not always realistic. But it's nothing like when I was in school and we all received the same instruction and work. The teachers are far more free these days. That doesn't mean you won't get a bad teacher. It is 'dangerous', a gamble. Studies do show that a bad teacher does far more harm than a good teacher does good. Which means that a bad teacher for one year can really set your child back.
But overall I think the system has some good, even great thought put into it. What we need to focus on is getting the right teachers to make it work.

Depends on how long the 'diversion' remains. Looks like it won't be for long so I'm not personally bothered.Forty Two wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 4:02 pmWe need to split a threat about Frank Zappa into other threads? Is that because the discussion of his views on education, the schools, church, etc., muck up the discussion of his music and other aspects of him and is views, and lumping them all into one thread makes it hard to have productive discussions?
