yes, the Repubs and wealthy did a good job of destroying the school system. And Trump put Devos in charge.

Exactly who dominates in universities and teacher's colleges? Who invented such claptrap as Common Core or Whole Language reading? Who added such useless nonsense to public school curricula such as sex education?

You may be entitled to reparations. The Mexican- American War was illegal and Texas is rightfully a state of Mexico. Your ancestors were illegal prisoners of war.
Before inauguration the Biden-Harris transition team will form a congressional committee to start the process of returning Texas to Mexico.

Sounds like a plan to me! Maybe 100 acres of land would work...

In the first 100 days in office the Biden-Harris Administration will sign an executive order calling for reparations made to each black citizen for the hardships they endured as slaves. The reparations will be in the form of a "race penalty" to all employed Caucasians and added as a tax or deducted from Social Security payments to Caucasians.

False.

So, BTT, is it in the Biden plan to expand use of Critical Pedagogy and it's half-cousin, Common Core? I'm curious.

We must prioritize education and funding for underrepresented students, including students of color, girls, and low-income students, to help remove enrollment and achievement barriers.

We will equip students with the knowledge and skills to counter the rising tide of denialism by promoting environmental and climate literacy, and reverse the Trump Administration’s cuts to the National Environmental Education Act. In addition, our education system will develop the deep learning and life skills needed to thrive in the 21st century.

What if those students don't feel like going to class?
How about we use the money to pay them to go to class and turn in homework?
 
T. A. Gardner said:
Children leaning from their parents and at home isn't about the money, it's about the parents interacting with their kids in positive ways and having an environment that encourages learning. If a child is growing up in a home without books, magazines, and such in it, parents who are disinterested in learning and knowledge, and the major entertainment is a television and video games, there isn't going to be much learning going on regardless of how much money that family makes.

There is no known correlation between spending on education and quality of outcomes.

https://thehill.com/opinion/educati...s-doesnt-always-mean-better-outcomes-for-kids

The quality of life and how well educated parents are usually has far more impact on children and learning than school alone does. By quality of life I mean exposure to ideas and knowledge not having a bigger, better flat screen television or a brand new house.

Every classroom in America today has a Flatscreen in it. TV's are used extensively now in all schools private and public. NOT Running LEAVE IT TO BEAVER CLIPS but it is being used as a learning tool.

But, I hear what you are saying about Parents. Parents should never leave everything up to teachers regarding education.

If parents would just teach their children to behave- That would take a lot of stress off of the teachers right there.

Parents should always choose what their children are viewing on TV.

The evidence from nearly two decades of education reforms that hinge on standardized test scores shows clearly that high-stakes testing has not led to enough improvement in outcomes for students or for schools, and can lead to discrimination against students, particularly students with disabilities, students of color, low-income students, and English language learners.

The Biden-Harris Administration will end the use of such high-stakes tests and encourage states to develop reliable, continuous, evidence-based approaches to student assessment that rely on multiple and holistic measures that better represent student achievement.

Assessments will provide families with clear, accessible, consistent information about how well schools are serving individual students and groups of students, while better representing student achievement.

Students, parents, and educators will be supported by data collection and analysis disaggregated by race, gender, disability, immigration status, and other important variables, to identify and address disparities in educational equity, access, and outcomes.
 
Biden will not do shit, unless it is via executive order

He has no mandate. America did speak on that. no court packing either.

My personal view is that the biggest impediment to K-12 education in America is requiring teachers to go to colleges of education with the second being heavy government involvement in the process.

I would prefer that a great, well educated, and motivated teacher be working in a ramshackle classroom with kids than a mediocre, union protected, teacher with a Master's degree that can't tell you anything about basic chemistry or do more than GED level math in a classroom with every technological benefit there is be teaching our kids.
We'll get better results with smart, motivated teachers who know their subject matter every time than with teachers that have an outstanding resume and lots of pieces of paper hanging on the wall but couldn't think their way out of a wet paper sack.
 
this thread is so sad

do democrats think the executive branch legislates?

You do get that you lost seats in the house, right? All of America weighed in - and don't like progressive policies.

you get that after the way you acted, the senate will do nothing but investigate Biden

you get that after how you acted, the senate will not make it easy for any judges to be nominated. If a SCOTUS seat opens, the senate will refuse to put him through. You can count on that

so enjoy the biden transformation. :rofl2:

Irrelevant to the two questions. I'll repeat:
What if those students don't feel like going to class?
How about we use the money to pay them to go to class and turn in homework?

I realize those are uncomfortable questions for you , so I'll understand if you don't want to answer them.

That's just rhetorical bullshit. Nothing you stated has anything to do with the quality of or what is taught in public schools today. Much of what you stated is a combination of political correctness and hints at propagandizing and politicizing education as well. For example, you say this,
knowledge and skills to counter the rising tide of denialism by promoting environmental and climate literacy,

I'd be happy to demolish you on "climate literacy" any time you like. I'll even start. Wind and solar are not the answer to reducing CO2 and are horribly expensive, inefficient, and technologically dead ends that should be dropped nearly entirely if CO2 reduction is truly your goal.

Does that run counter to what you would "...equip students with the knowledge and skills to counter the rising tide of denialism..."? If it does then what you stated argues for propagandizing and politicizing the classroom if I am correct on that.

No, Democrats think the Presidency is a sort of dicktator-lite thing where a President they like can do whatever the hell he pleases and Congress can STFU.
