We Need Real Solutions Not ‘Kumbaya’
IN RESPONSE to Nancy Martland’s guest column titled “The New Hampshire we love” (Tuesday, December 14, 2021), I was expecting her to break out into a joyful “Kumbaya” rendition about everyone working happily together — until she showed her true partisan colors.
Why Do Public Schools Have NO Accountability, while Education Savings Accounts are Under Fire?
Proficiency scores came out in October and from what I have seen, they are not pretty. Proficiency scores for the entire state decreased significantly due to school closures and failure to properly educate our kids.
Public Education is Broken
I had a chat this morning with Liz Gabert about COVID Era Public Education, and some of the issues with public schools in General. I’d classify it as “easy listening” unless you are some union-schooly-tool.
CALL TO ACTION: Tell NH Senators to Improve Civic Education – Vote FOR HB319
I run into resistance all of the time when supporting measures that would improve knowledge and literacy in the core academic subjects. That is why I’m making a public appeal to those who care about the poor quality of civics education students are receiving.
Study: K-12 Schools With Diversity Programs Have a Wider Achievement Gap Than Those Without
The #woke used-car salesman promoting Diversity and Equity programs in public schools insists we need them to create academic parity. But like everything else the Left sells, Diversity programs do precisely the opposite.
“It’s a historic night, yes it is, but I didn’t run to make history, I just wanted to leave it better than I found it.”
Virginia Dems had a rough night. They lost the Governors’ office, Lt Governor, the AG’s office, and the lower chamber of the legislature. And while all the chatter has been about Glenn Youngkin, the new Lt Governor is something to behold.
A War Against Parents
Democrats and Governor Sununu recently called it inappropriate for NHDOE Commissioner Edelblut to address the Empowering Parents Conference. It was highly appropriate for the Commissioner to come and address the customers of the public school system.
State Reps and School Boards
Parents all over New Hampshire are challenging school boards as never before. There are several reasons for this, including disappointing responses by the education establishment to the COVID pandemic.
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Curriculum Teaches 13-Year Old’s to Have Sex and Advertise It!
Social-Emotional Learning is, as we’ve reported for years, another Ed scam designed to indoctrinate your kids. It’s a crapstorm. Look here if you want to check out some of what’s under the water on this iceberg. For today, we’ll keep it simple. SEL is teaching minors to have sex and to tell everyone about it.
Some Thoughts on the Myth of School Neutrality
I just read my personal copy of the “Saving Our Children” issue of The New American. The magazine is published by The John Birch Society and this was a special edition devoted to k-12 education and the many issues that prevail in the schools.
National Treasure? More Like National Anchor.
Recently, in a discussion of school-related issues, a conservative said this: “The children and their proper education are our national treasure and we need to preserve this treasure.”
Friday Open Thread – Got Education on my Mind
I’ve got education on my mind, or rather, the education that isn’t because it seems that a lot of School Board members (who used to be Elected Representatives that were accountable to voters have turned into, in many cases, Edu-Despots).
America Needs to Rethink the Way We Educate Our Children.
America needs to rethink the way we educate our children. The public school system was meant to be a means to shore up and strengthen the nation’s experiment in limited government. But what was sold to America in the 1800s as a servant has now become a powerful, perverted, centralized, master.
More Organizations Speaking Up For Parents and Against the U.S. Attorney General
The school shut down after COVID-19 unleashed a new group of parents who are fed up with their children suffering at the hands of people who they pay, and they elect to serve them.
Create a Stable and Vibrant Learning Opportunity
This fall marks the third school year impacted by Covid-19. Regardless of where you are on mask protocols or vaccinations, our children’s learning is greatly disrupted and at-risk. Learning gaps and emotional upheavals can last years if not decades. Why tolerate this for your children when there is an alternative?
Make No Mistake, the Educational Establishment Has Made Its Choice.
One historian starts his course on the history of freedom with the battle of Marathon in 409 BC. I think it began with the Exodus from Egypt. Or perhaps it was when Moses picked up his pen and began to write Genesis.
Data Point – Is It That Teachers and Their Unions Are Driving This, at Least in Part?
Is it that teachers and their unions are driving this, and if so, will they drive this more or recognize that their behaviors need to be wound back?
