Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire AMERICA'S FAILING SCHOOLS.

This is a long read, but very interesting and insightful article about how our education system is swirling around in the toilet. I've experienced talking to kids who had graduated high school with "good grades," yet were so dumb they did not know the difference between "germ" and " German Shepherd."

Another example of why America is in deep trouble.

Taxpayers are extorted to the tune of 750 billion dollars a year for the public school system, and it’s a dismal failure in nearly every aspect. It is no longer about the students...and it hasn’t been for a long time...it’s an industry in and of itself; it’s chief mandate is to obtain as much money as possible under the false pretense of being about the students.

The problem is that kids can graduate without good grades. They simply don't have to do the work. Thanks, lefties.

They probably didn't know that they had graduated "from" high school, either.

Until the responsibility for learning is placed upon the shoulders of the students, nothing will ever improve.

Not failing.......”FAILED”! Unless of course, you are an Anti-American communist......then you’ve won! memtb

Depends on one's perspective, whether our schools are failing or not?

To the commies that proliferate in the vast majority of our current educational systems, they're succeeding in turning out generation after generation of good little leftists. If they've come up a bit short converting students K-12, there's always college?

Our oldest grand daughter just graduated from NYU this year, one of the most libturd infested universities in the nation. Came out unscathed, still pretty much a conservative and rational young woman. There is hope.

'xactly. Our direct homeschool costs for two kids total about $1500 per year.

Saying that in a meeting about the "college algebra failure rate problem" will get you on the shit list. Ask me how I know.

Shortly after WWII the left concentrated on taking over our school system for the purpose of turning us toward communism. They started with the colleges that train the teachers. They got communist college professors in place and now it's spread to the lowest levels of education indoctrination.

Not possible. At one point the person who understood 2+2 was the smartest in the room. He had to teach it for others to learn.

I would agree many parents send absolute mongrels to school. Of course spending all your time working to pay taxes does leave too little time to parent.

The responsibility for teaching and the responsibility for learning aren't the same thing. I could damn well teach college algebra, but it was beyond my powers to make students study.

Most of the colleges have turned into Marxist training camps. This is the main reason people like Bernie Sanders and AOC want free tuition, so they can get as many brainwashed minds as possible.

There’s only so much space and time sharing a developing brain can accommodate. Too much time playing video games, watching Netflix, and reading social media are the weeds that crowd out the good plants.

It ain't swirling around in the toilet, it's been flushed & is now in the septic tank.

And yes, the indoctrination camps, formerly known as schools, are a major part of the problem with the country..................a very major part for several reasons.

I get where you're coming from, but if you expect them to learn by studying, then you're expecting them to teach themselves. Now, practicing for proficiency you can't do for them, but lack of initial learning is failing by the teacher.

They are to study what I present.

I think what he's saying is "I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you!"
