This is an interesting seeties that I think highlights much of what’s going on today. We are a nation of idiots. It has beenm done on purpose and we have got to find a way to reverse this and educated ur young people about what’s going on in their world! This has three part to the series. Very eye-opening.

By 2023, half of the children 18 and under will be minorities, as classified by the USG. Has anyone connected that fact with declining school performance?

Idiocracy.

I tried to read the article but it was too hard and I gave up.

It’s no wonder the kids are dumb when the teachers and administration are also getting dumber. When I taught in an inner-city school, the principal told a story about how she and the other principals were assigned to read a certain non-fiction best-seller over the summer. She said it was too hard for them. So, they got the book on tape. She said that was also too hard to listen to.

The Underground History of American Education

Written by a NY State Teacher-of-the-Year, this is the only book that really matters. And you can read it for free, on-line.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself) The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail metmom to let her know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

This article is several years old but may be of interest nonetheless.

Students get a dumbed down education by design so that they will grow up to be loyal Democrat voters.

The whole system has been dumbed down to accommodate Blacks:

I contend that the entire concept of “public education” has no place in a free nation.

“History of America’s Education Part1: Johnny is in trouble”

And the liberals are in charge. Coincidence? The liberal perspective is incompatible with analytical thought. Dumbing people down is necessary.

Questions about this were in a recent Zogby poll. I gave the schools a flunking score.
