I am very happy my wife is becoming a teacher, would love to have my kids home-schooled. For over a decade now I have been against public schools mainly because of the NEA and their socialist/revisionist teachings. I noticed this when helping my ex's son finish his history/social studies homework. Any way this is why I can't allow my daughter to fall subject to these teachings...

I really don't know where to begin with this topic as we do not have children. Obviously this is a family matter.
Education is a tough one for me to even try and make a decent attempt at finding a solution?
What would a model program consist of that can be developed from toddlers to high school graduates.
Higher education is a choice and we can for the most part chose?
For a start lets not omit and bury relevant historical facts, we all know that math is universal, art is subject to self-criticism, and science is a wonderful tool to understand the mechanics of our planet. Second lets not spoon-feed ideals to our kids and allow them to think on their own. I have always believed that if you study the past and its mistakes, make sure you don't repeat them then you will be just fine. Higher education is what the student chooses to make of it, you can learn tremendous amounts of what prior students, professors, and the world has observed in the past and move forward, or you can chose to do the minimum to get by for a piece of paper that should be a badge of intellect not a requirement to obtain a position. I have run across too many people in my generation that have not respected and valued higher education. I have found that the majority of those born prior to the 50s and those born in the 60s have a greater admiration of accomplishment in graduating from a college/university. Which brings me to the current professors of today whom were born between 1950 and 1959 are teaching the same socialist views of the late 60s and 70s to the generations of the future, this curriculum needs to be modified and facts need to be taught, not opinions. Opinions should be left to the student’s interpretation of fact, and then graded according to presentation and substance. I feel that professors today beat young adults over the head with their Marxist views and do not allow true freedom of thought, or you will get a failing grade. I have seen it time and time again with my wife, 90% of her professors will only acknowledge their own point of view as "the bar" for an A, and this is bullshit.
I am really delighted to hear you say math and science. They are the most important and non judgemental of any program. They are fact, quantifiable and provide a free thinking approach to the possibilities of a human mind.
I had to deal with many educators during my experiences and give them what they wanted to hear especially when it came to social type curriculum. Talk about mf'ers being opnionated! Don't mind it in the public forum but it did piss me off in the educational program.
You should have seen me trying to put words together that simply were not mine. The environmental mother fucker I had in college was a left wing piece of mother fucking shit! Period!
How do we prevent the teaching of opinion? Geography certainly had no opinion and politics can be viewed from both sides with a well balanced curriculum allowing each student to make up their own mind.
Maybe we need to strip the system down to the basic core of math, science, geography, economics only? Mastering the basics, like 1+1=2 or even basic geography. Where is the United State? How many states in the United States? Where is Europe lmao..you know why I am laughing.
So how do we stop them? Don't forget the NAZI party burned books as we did in the mid 50's (KKK)? I don't think we need that?
I have constantly reassured my wife to be a p.c. a possible without giving up her beliefs. I was always taught that you master the basics first, this applies to everything. You can't make professors avoid interjecting their opinions everywhere, but, our teachers can develop lesson plans that are more factual and less in lock-step with the Nazi-esque NEA. Shit the majority of people in this country can't properly name all of the continental 48, and the only reason they know HI and AK is because it is only 2 states, if we had 10 states away from the mainland I am certain these same people wouldn't be able to name them. No book burning that is ridiculous, for that alone would destroy the "current history" of society as a whole, and their observations. I guess I am just against making clone, worker-bee societies around the world. The fact that we are so different everywhere makes this Earth pretty cool to be a part of. It's the idiots trying to make everybody the same that is screwing it up.
We can probably agree that mentors/teachers at all levels will at some point interject their opinion and that in of itself is not necessarily a negative as long as they allow the student to express his/her opinion without the worry of falling out of favor because of the mentors opinion.
It seems that these hippy leftover degenerates from the 60's were just simply so spoiled that they have convinced themselves that things just can't be like this? These idiots were the son's and daughters of WWII vets who made it so good for this country.
I wonder if we couldn't create a system like a free agency for sports with teachers. Get rid of the NEA (union) and allow teachers to perform based on skills and not quota's that the federal and local governments feed back to the NEA. Typical Union mentallity pay your dues and we will pay ourselves and vote for you.
I have had discussions with my wife about something similar to what you bring up, not only do you get the best teacher possible, but somebody that actually wants to be there to help the children instead of signing up for a job that gives summers off. What makes it worse is the slacker generation of mine and the following generations. The generation after mine (X) is called "Generation Y" they should just go ahead and not truncate it and call them "Generation Why?" These are the individuals responsible for teaching the youth of today? I'll stick with home-schooling and private schools.
Our neighbor has 6 children and they moved from Texas 3 of the six are home schooled and I will have to bring it up as discussion with Jimmy the next time we see each other.
How does the curriculum work? Would like to get some basic information to feed my mind? If you have link or something else it would be great.
At your convenience! No rush...
