Is that wayne with the pick in his turf...?

 

That one dude "I wasn't taught that knowledge" . He gets all stoked on his smart sounding answer. Hahaha
Fluoride.

 

If he calls himself an American? he should be ashamed, he should of known that?

 

Wasn't there some other guy here with some hoity-toity degree that said, "It is my opinion that what i Stated earlier is in fact factual."

WTF are they teaching these doofuses? Or are they all graduates of those fake NC State classes lol

 

MIT publishes book for young children called 'Communism For Kids'.
I kid you not.

IMO a big reason why the kids in the video are so ignorant is because of the state run public school system.
If schools were creative in the way they engage students to make school more enjoyable, the curriculum was designed to actually teach, and wasn't propagandized the future of this country would be in better shape.

While I partially agree with your analysis, it is really much too broad to be inherently factual.

My opinion is that while it is a fact that many teachers/professors/instructors introduce their personal biases in the classroom, that child or adult has been raised and/or imprinted with certain critical thinking skills which either allow them to properly analyze the information, or automatically believe that someone in a position of authority has unquestionable knowledge.

Question authority. Question other's versions of "reality".

 

You are partially correct. Generation Z is appearing to be more right leading than the preceding generation. I think this is due to the sheer lunacy of many of the leftist teachings and media. MTV being one example.
On the other hand in this modern society in many families both parents work and the child at an early age is placed in daycare. Many studies show that the younger the child starts day care the more they suffer from separation anxiety. In this mental state and lack of parenting the state becomes their daddy. And we see now in most public education systems everyone is special and everyone gets a trophy. Then when they are released to college and things don't go their way the universities set up safe spaces for them...........
I could go on but i've got things to do.
Bottom line public education curriculum is designed to teach children how to be obedient workers. Just smart enough to run the machines just dumb enough not to question things.

While your typical comprehensive high school does serve the masses... does, for the most part, prepare them for college, work, etc.... they do nothing special for anyone. It's still sort of a big processing operation, where all kids are taught the same things, and so what you get is a lot of the same products out the other end. It's a decent product, and the vast majority of kids are served well enough to become productive citizens, but in terms of engaging them in things that genuinely interest them, it doesn't do anything remarkable.

I believe in theme-based schools, with a strong connection either college, or careers. Magnet schools, "schools within a school," vocational programs... all do a better job at engaging kids, and so they're more successful, work harder, and learn more. They graduate with more skills, and a deeper understanding of the content that the school specializes in. So if you track those kids, you DO find some remarkable things...

If they go to college, they graduate in four years, don't change colleges, don't change majors, and either go on to work in their field or go on to graduate school in their field.

If they go to work, within 5 years they're making more money than the average 23-25 year-olds, and they are generally either fast tracked in to management, or are re-trained to become more specialized. Either way, they're making more money faster than most everyone else who graduated from a typical comprehensive high school and didn't go to college.

 

I'm not saying you guys are necessarily wrong. But when was the last time any of you were even in a high school? I hadn't been in high school in over 10 years but ill tell you this. It depends on the school. If LBCrew was just talking about my high school he'd be right. But i know people a few towns over whos high school was the complete opposite. I do work for a high school that is the complete opposite. The high school one town over from me has a auto shop class. Lots of schools in the area give the students the choice to take a bus to a separate school to learn a trade of there choice. Boces its called.

So again not saying your wrong. Just saying it really depends on the school AND the student. If a student chooses not to leave school after doing the basic math and English classes to learn something specific of their choice... how's that the schools fault? Its on the student.

Bottom line.... kids in the video were probably acting dumb to be funny or cute... on purpose. I HIGHLY doubt they are actually that dumb. Don't make it something it is not

 

Not sure I'm completely following you, BassMon... but I think I get what you're saying. Just so you know, I'm a high school principal... in education for more than 20 years.

In New Jersey, high schools must, by law, give kids access to their county vocational schools. So when I talk about specialized programs, I'm talking about all of those traditional vocational programs, plus all of the specialized high schools that have career themes... performing arts schools, for example... or all of the various STEM schools that are becoming more and more popular, and are performing much better (statistically) than their comprehensive high school counterparts.

This is what I'm saying I believe engages kids best... theme-driven programs that are of genuine INTEREST to the students who attend. They're much more internally motivated in those programs then they are in your "general education" classrooms.

But without a doubt you're right... it depends on the school and the student. I'm talking in broad generalities... just looking at what the numbers suggest. And I have more than a decade of data to look at, so I'm pretty convinced.

 

public education is sh!t

all children who can't afford a charity sponsored/privately paid school should be assigned to work at the age of 7-8. coal mines, trash pick ups, i don't give a fu*k, put them to work. in practice, this will ensure that the majority are ignorant, illiterate, etc, but it's actually the perfect system to find those who will thrive in our capitalist society.

the kids who are smart enough to realize that they're going to get fu*ked over into a lifetime of hard labor will get out of their work programs. they will find a way to go to school. our labor crisis will be solved and we'll have fewer askholes in our country of 300+ million who have an entitlement mentality.

 

^^^I've said it many, many times... compulsory education is not the answer.

 

You need help. Seek it.
Maybe a coupla joints will do.

 

This is actually similar to the German school model. Kids are tracked after the equivalent of our third grade. If they show an aptitude for higher learning, they are on the college track, lower aptitude but not bad with a positive attitude, technical track, low level intellect, worker track. Kind of like "Brave New World," without the alcohol in the blood surrogate.
This is simplified but I have had two German foreign exchange students live with me.

Everybody on here knows I'm a teacher. I used to love what I do, then I thought it was a pretty good gig, then it was better than the private sector(where I worked in finance for 7 years). Now? 2 years and I'm out. It is an exhausting profession.

"To teach a child is to touch a life. To touch a child is 10 years, minimum."
That's a quote by yours truly. I love to say it in the faculty lounge to the new teachers.

 

So don't touch them.
Have them touch you.....
just kidding......
