I’ve posted about this before in that kids that have graduated “well” from high school have found out the hard way that their Government Schools did a poor job in training them up to face college material.
Sidenote: I’ve watched the trend by “educators,” “re-imagining” students to be “learners,” as if changing out a well-established and known word will make a difference. It’s just so retarded (and yes, I’m reclaiming language because sometimes, stigma needs to be applied to buffoonish behavior that attempts to “elevate stuff” but fails miserably.
It is a rather sad fact that across the country, about 40% of those students…do what the guy says below:
Put another way, since teachers believe that THEY are better than Parents in raising kids (instead of educating them), they’re doing a really crappy job if students have to pay to be taught what the “free” teachers were supposed to do in the first place.
And now, we’re seeing even more emphasis by school districts concentrating on everything political, in one way or another, instead of rigorous academic endeavors. Which, I must point out, would make the need for that new industry to teach remedial English in the first place.
So, let’s call it what it really is: High School Government teachers failing to do their jobs. A job failure rate of 40% should be resulting in higher unemployment.
