to wise up a bit! NOTHING is “free.” Someone somewhere pays for it. So you pay $13 for a crappy beer. Huh, kind of a metaphor, eh?
OK, this is a hard lesson. Next time be wiser and realize that all that glitters is not gold, and that there are some people–often glib and seemingly friendly–who will rob you blind at the first opportunity…
Welcome to the real world, child! Now you are a little sadder, but it was, all in all, a cheap lesson. Think of it as tuition.
Two red states showing major gains in test scores—Louisiana and Mississippi—have embraced proven strategies such as the science of reading, statewide benchmark testing, and firm classroom discipline. Both have recently made headlines for their significant improvements on the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
… “It’s no surprise that states that have opened up school choice, like Florida and Arizona, and states that have prioritized literacy, like Louisiana and Mississippi, have seen major improvements that benefit students,” Defense of Freedom Institute spokesperson Angela Morabito told The Fix.
Folks, let’s look at the facts. NOTHING good has come of it. The DOE has been an utter disaster for the United States. It’s time to shut that bugger down. States need to step up!
is kicking some major but in education. Folks, it can be done. If you jettison the “woke” crap, it can be done. But certainly in terms of education, the actual data clearly show that “woke” equals “crap.”
Vote accordingly!
what happens. This is HUGE!
what do you know? Conservatives were entirely correct about homeschooling. And here are some receipts.
One key finding was that homeschooled adults exhibited better mental health than their non-homeschooled peers amid the nation’s ongoing mental health crisis affecting teens and young adults.
The report found that long-term homeschoolers had the highest levels of optimism, gratitude, and life satisfaction. They were also the least likely to “feel helpless dealing with life’s problems” or report depression and anxiety symptoms.
… Long-term homeschoolers were also more likely to be married, have more children on average, and had the lowest divorce rates.
… Likely, their decision to take care of their children instead of pursuing a career resulted in better mental health outcomes for themselves and their children. No amount of financial success can substitute for good mental health and a nice family when the “achievers” live in a perpetual state of mental anguish, anxiety, helplessness, and silent desperation.
Parents, decide what you want for your kids and what is the most likely way for that to happen.
outlook for free speech on campuses is FAR better now that Trump has been re-elected.
See, Conservative students have long lived in fear of being “outed” as anything to the right of Lenin. And almost ALL faculty who lean Conservative have been fired–no new hire can be anything less than rabidly hard Left–anyone who is not hard Left doesn’t even bother applying (and in MANY ways that is the overwhelming problem–the hiring pool is virtually all hard Left),
Yeah, Lefty faculty preach “diversity” with an iron fist. But University faculty is anything BUT ideologically diverse. Maybe it’s not, “No Jews need apply,” but it certainly IS, “No Conservatives need apply. And it is happening in K-12, as well, though not yet quite as severe.
But there is a culture of rebellion against that stifling hegemony building. It manifested itself most recently in the LARGE proportion of young people who voted for Trump.
The old Lefty avant-garde has turned around and become simply garde.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) has released a new poll showing an overall increase in the prospects for free speech following the election of Donald Trump.
And if THIS doesn’t wig you out, nothing will:
worries:
It’s gonna be hard to clean out this rat’s nest. So we might as well get cracking on it now!
the Department of Education is a first-rate idea. I really hope it happens…
In 1979, President Jimmy Carter established the Department of Education, one of the most egregious moves by the U.S. government against the people.
Since then, it’s followed the long, proud tradition of being a federal department that fails upward. Any inability to achieve a good result is because it wasn’t funded enough, or staffed enough. The budget for 2025 has the Dept. of Ed taking in nearly $90 billion, and yet, since its inception, we went from being number one in education in the world to one of the worst.
