I just attended my grand daughter's pre-K graduation and I was immediately struck by what I think is a serious (un or dis) learning tactic

When I learned "Ol Mac Donald ... " I was taught to remember the line of animals in a progressive refrain ... kind'a like The Twelve Days Of Christmas

These kids sang three verses and chorus ... dog, duck and cow ... and they did not string them together each time

I spoke to one of the church lady teachers (a mainstream denomination was the brick and mortar for this pre-school), and she smilingly accepted my comment ... with appreciation ... and thanked me for my comment

I am SO pissed at whatever is being called "education" these days !

Universal Pre-K is a racist concept. It is pushed primarily for minorities who the politicians feel are not able to raise their kids properly without government intervention.

Around here, we call it the Appalachian Syndrome. The government used the images of barefoot hillbilly younguns to push for more resources for the poor children of Southern Appalachia. People bought it because they didn’t know anyone living there and it sure sounded good.

The fact that pre-k graduation is a thing that exists, is something that tells me there is trouble out there.
