The Next Generation Doesn't Know How To Think

And we cannot trust liberal educators to run school districts! Deep.Blue Denver who keeps spending a record amount every year despite declining attendance still can't stay within their budget!

Denver voters every election reject TABOR and give the schools more money that the administration continues to waste.

Disgraceful, all under Biden's Department of Education!

AND WHY DO U THINK HOME SCHOOLING IS ON A UPWARD TRAJECTORY? PARENTS,WHO UNDERSTAND THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF SMART PHONES AND THE LATEST AND GREATEST NEW GALAXY PHONE,SEE THE IMPACT AND IF THEY R MACRO IN THEIR THINKING,THEY LIMIT THE PHONE USAGE AND MONITOR THEIR CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES. ULTIMATELY. IT'S THE PARENT THAT GUIDES THE CHILD'S EDUCATION, NOT THE GOV.....(THAT IS, IF THEY HAVE THE TIME AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.) WHEN U R HOLDING DOWN 3 JOBS TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND ATTEMPTING TO ACHIEVE QUALITY IN EDUCATING YOUR CHILDREN,THRU HOME SCHOOLING.....U R SUPER HUMAN......UNBELIEVABLE CHALLENGE AND I AM MORE THAN ELATED I NEVER HAD TO MAKE THOSE CHOICES.

You’re starting to sound like an anti-public school conservative. Is it possible you’re starting to understand that the government doesn’t do anything well?

I actually feel sorry for the teachers. So hard to keep the kids attention these days. When I was in high school, I used to zone out just looking out the window. Mobile phones are so much more distracting.



A smart teacher would plug in a classroom jammer at the start of the day.

Given the historical failure of the department to succeed in its primary mission, I'd have to say that the outcome of reorganizing the tasks and doing away with the failed department altogether can't be much worse than what currently exists . . .

The problem gets to be that the federal government shouldn't be in the education business to begin with. Government grants are about controlling the content in exchange for the money. I shouldn't be funding the education of a child in California, or Texas, or New York with my federal tax dollars. That is something the federal government doesn't need to collect nor distribute. It would be a much better situation for my local government to have that money to provide a better school for the children of their area. If the tax base doesn't allow for it, the next best option is for the State to confiscate some of my earnings to fund school districts with too few residents to provide appropriate funding.

To stop the bloat of the federal government, and return it to the macro concept upon which it was conceived instead of the micro concept it has chosen for itself, requires that some of what it has chosen for its mission be taken away and placed back into appropriate hands. New York is affluent enough to attend to the schooling of the children of those who reside there, so is Mississippi, without additional dollars from Colorado that belong in Colorado attending to the schooling needs of the residents here.

DUDE...I AM 78 ...I HAVE NOT JUST 'AWAKENED'....KENT STATE AND NAM,THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS WERE A INSIGHTFUL INDICATOR OF FUBAR AT IT'S FINEST

Seems wierd to see Harvard and other top schools giving admission to the "best & brightest" in their freshman classes, yet they have a higher "disability" rate than the general population.

Gaming the system?
