Some of the new curriculums are a script to be followed day by day word for word. Teachers will be replaced by computers and day cay attendants soon.
The schools have been going to Hell since they were unionized about 50 years ago.
Teachers are already robots
They get the state curriculum, text books, learning materials and they must follow it or they will get a disciplinary action against them.
Another gift from JFK education dies a slow death.
The seeds for this were sown by the KGB decades ago.
They had a plan to take over the education schools and change the requirements for teaching so that all teachers had to come through “education” schools.
The Soviet Union may have collapsed, but their plans to take over America are still bearing fruit.

Two reasons:
Howard Zinn, and Bill Ayers
I think he’s retired now but for a couple of decades Bill Ayers was THE LEADING and most influential academic in the U.S. when it came to formulating curriculum.
I know. How could we let THAT happen?
Howard Zinn basically perverted the teaching of history. I was a history major when his book came out. Even though I was a young skull full o’ mush I was disgusted by the multiple-orgasms they were having in the faculty lounge over his work.
It’s the results of the Long March.
The schools are teaching what the victorious commiescum tell them to teach.
That’s the no accident part.
The only question I have on vouchers is are they going to be funded proportionately by the property taxes that currently go to the public schools in most states? If not then how are they funded and why are my property taxes not being reduced accordingly with the reduced student population.
TEACHER’s Unions
I was a first-grader in the early 70’s and they were still shoving My Weekly Reader at us.
I still can't comprehend how a known domestic terrorist became a figure of respect in academic circles. I blame this on being a rational human being.
And as for Zinn, how in the world did a "history" book with no footnotes or endnotes to back up its claims become so legendary, other than because it was mentioned in Good Will Hunting?
I don’t remember what grade it was, but the teacher was singing the praises of some politician, and I raised my hand and said:
“My grandpa told me all politicians were crooks.”
The teacher was _not_ happy. ;-)
(btw, grandpa was in the construction business and paid off politicians with suitcases full of cash—he was _not_ speculating on the topic.)
It’s a conflict of interest for government schools to be able to brainwash the future citizens who are supposed to hold the government accountable.
Another pernicious teaching technique is “Group Learning.” Teachers put weak students in groups with strong students, who will do most of the work on the assigned task. The group gets a grade, and it allows students who would fail to get a passing grade. Teachers thus escape liability.
Then we wonder why SAT scores continue to go down since the late ‘60,even though the standards have been relaxed several times in recent years.
School reform is a must, radical change is needed. I hope Trump makes this a priority in his 2nd term.
The Department of Education was supposed to be Jimmy Carter’s gift to the teachers union. We don’t need the department of education. We have local school committees and state boards of education so why do we need three layers of educational controls? By the way, what does the Education part of the Health, Education and Welfare actually do? Since we have had this since around Roosevelts’ time what great accomplishments has it achieved?
