FAKE PEDAGOGY: PUBLIC SCHOOLS CREATE LOW IQ STUDENTS BY DESIGN

of course they are doing it on purpose.

this is one way to help ensure destroying the last super power to oppose globalism.

The public schools mostly get away with dumbing down students because they provide what is essentially ‘free babysitting service’ from Monday through Friday.

This certainly does not describe all schools or all teachers, but it does describe quite a few.

The goal is to close the “achievement gap” BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Since they can’t bring up the average IQ of a certain group of people, let’s bring down that of other groups.

[The Great RJ]

A good friend dubbed public schools as “failure factories”.

“Memorizing 500 sight-words is very difficult. Most people can not reach 1000 and this process takes years. Surprise. That’s when you find out, for all practical purposes, you’re illiterate. You’ll never read a book.”

Maybe they will, but considering that they won’t be taught reading CORRECTLY (i.e., phonics) until 4th grade (since K through 3rd grade is now nothing but sight-words)...they are ASSURED to be crappy readers. Kids can learn to read at 4 YEARS OLD, providing someone is willing to take the time needed to teach them properly (again, phonics)...but leave it to the public schools, it will be 9 years old, if that.

But, no matter how many times I post stuff similar to the above, parents here will STILL keep sending their kids to public schools, and they will STILL keep whining about the fact that their kids are not being taught properly in public schools. And they will NEVER accept the fact that the schools do not answer to parents, they answer to certain people in government, and those people are doing all they can to bring America down a few notches...and having badly educated people is one of the fastest ways to do that.

...and all I can say is THANK GOD FOR IMMIGRANTS, particularly, Asians, as they are on to this scam, and while they usually send their kids to public schools, they know they won’t learn jack there - so while American kids are playing video games in the late afternoon, Asian kids are at after-school Learning Centers, or informal groups, learning math and reading CORRECTLY.

Without these immigrants, this country would have collapsed decades ago.

This is exactly right as far as math is concerned. After teaching for over 30 years, I still sub. I’ll go into a 2nd grade class where the kids are working on fractions—for say a month. They still can’t even add and they’re shown fractions. At least half of the 8th graders cannot do single-digit multiplication without the aid of a calculator. Even subtraction problems require a calculator. As for fractions, the 8th graders can’t grasp that most calculators aren’t set up for fractions. 1/3 + 1/3 = .6666666, not 2/3.

Bingo!

Critical thinking skills are sorely lacking. The thought of challenging a proposition or a commonly held belief is verboten.

I always enjoyed geometry as a kid because it taught and developed deductive reasoning skills so well.

So when I got into high school and one teacher stated that evolution was a “fact” and another said that the constitution was a “living and breathing” document, I at least possessed the ability to question and challenge those false assertions,

In 7th grade we were “encouraged” to rote memorize the squares of numbers up to 30. Knowing this also allowed you to roughly estimate the square root of numbers via interpolation

Still use this even in the days of cell phone calculators and teraflop desk top computers

My old hometown area had a high school that was knocking the ball out of the park on state test scores. The district was primarily upper middle class.

The school board’s solution was to slice off 25% of the district and replace with kids from a poorer area.

The test scores plummeted to acceptable levels.

You forgot to mention all of those college professors teaching 101 level science and social science classes who took delight in teaching freshman newbie students that all that religious crap they grew up with was superstitious hogwash conclusively and laughably prov untrue by scientific “facts”

[Truthoverpower]

I’m teaching my two boys engineering math. That is. Regular math from the 20s

The Rats finally have an entire generation of youth right where they wanted them - as dull-witted little socialists spouting the party line, participating in party protests, and getting commie kudos for activism. Think David Hogg and company.

I took a couple of Master's level Pedagogy classes in college.

I'm just glad to see someone use the word 'pedagogy'.

Yes and in 3rd grade I was “encouraged” to memorize my times tables up to 10 x 10. I have taught 8th graders who don’t have their 6 tables in their heads. I only sub now, but I try to impress upon them how much easier math is if they can do multiplications in their heads without having to think about it. But it’s not the way it is done now.

The fact is, I got a better education in the 50s by teachers who were trained in the 30s and 40s than kids are getting today.

You can’t create low-IQ people except through disgenic breeding. IQ is a heritable trait, baked in at birth.

[P-Marlowe]

Honestly, how many of us had to look up the definition of pedagogy?

Those of us in the Conspiracy Community have known for years that the DUMBING DOWN of America is deliberate and directed by the DARK SIDE...But no...Most Americans can’t or won’t swallow that TRUTH!!!
