How Bhawks and company wrecked the school (kids).
Post# of 65629
ELIMINATE ALL GOOD IDEAS:
The 3 R’s. Cursive. Phonics. Arithmetic with Mastery. Facts. Knowledge. Academics. Aesop’s Fables. Geography. Literature, General Science, History, Second Language, Homework, Tests, Grades, Proper Spelling, Accuracy, Promptness, Real Critical Thinking; Teacher teaches directly. Teacher is supported by principal and community. Schools try to build character.
ADD EVERY BAD IDEA:
No Cursive. No memorization of multiplication tables, facts, etc. Do memorize sight-words. Reform Math (12 varieties). Constructivism. Cooperative Learning. Ignore spelling and grammar. Self-Esteem, Fuzziness, Social Studies. Guessing. Disdain for right answers. Relevance, Multiculturalism. Pretend Critical Thinking. Disorderly Schools. Permissive About Cheating. No direct instruction. Testing and grades are scorned,
SO THAT THERE IS INSTRUCTION OF A SORT
BUT LITTLE TO NO EDUCATION.
