I’ve mentioned this on earlier threads, but I think it bears repeating here. One of the more disturbing parts of the novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” involved Winston meeting an adult couple he knew who were now imprisoned along with himself. The father told of how their kids were trained to be informants for the government and the kids promptly then reported their mother and father for alleged conspiracy against Big Brother. Maybe it’s just me, but I think of this often when I read stories and comments concerning US Democrats and Canadian Liberals and NDP and education and kids.
This is just gov funded day care, which is what pub schools are effectively. Because of that, many folks will want this. They’re more interested in the day care than the schooling because they figure it’ll cost them less out of pocket.
College is just day care with sex and alcohol for most.
Education funding could probably be cut in half at this point.
The intent of Kindergarten was to prepare children for FIRST grade. If kindergarten doesn’t do a good enough job, there is no reason to give the state more years.
Here, the teens who can’t keep their knees together can leave their babies - 3 yo from sun up to sun down at school to babysit for them. Then it’s on to pre-K and Kindergarten. Strange how some of us parents actually parented our children without once having to depend upon the rest of society to raise them for us. No, it doesn’t take a village.
A friend of mine told me that her daughter had an English prof at a community college make these claims (among many other crazy statements):
-The Great Awakening was a hoax
-The Puritans came to America to persecute the Salem witches
-The Atomic bomb was dropped in WWII, not on Japan, but on the Congo.
Apparently their book had a quote made by someone from the Congo regarding the dropping of the atomic bomb and the teacher gleaned from that that the bomb was dropped onto the Congo. An English teacher who cant read, and doesn’t know any history, imagine that.)
My friend’s daughter was homeschooled and of course thought this was all hilariously stupid, but as parents we realized probably 90% of kids couldn’t tell this garbage from anything approaching history.)
The downward decline of communist indoctrination in stupidity has gone from a steady downward slope the last 40 years, to a straight down freefall in the last 5-6 years. It’s mind boggling how fast a country can be destroyed through destroying its education of youth.
Dear Lord, I didn't know he was such a communist! I will be making a phone call about this!
