Home schooling now. Private college after if it's necessary.
I hope we use this as justification to start defunding some of these schools.
Everyone around here always calls for homeschooling, but what honestly do you think makes the average person remotely qualified to teach?
Ask the average person on the street to shoe you where countries are on the map, or to explain the origin and ramifications of the stamp act, or how to calculate the distance between two points, or how to minimize sn equation, or to describe projectile motion, or repeat Newton's laws, or the difference between the subject and predicate of a sentence, or any of a thousand other simple things children should be taught, and they'll freeze like Mitch McConnell on the floor of the house.
The solution isn't homeschooling. The solution is to reclaim the educational system and fix it. We've had functioning schools and colleges before, and we can again.
Lotta typos for someone calling everyone else stupid. Just saying, if you're going to rant about education you should proofread.
Go ask the average teacher to name any fact slightly more obscure than common knowledge without preparation or notes and they'll freeze too. Did you think your teachers were geniuses who never referred to the textbooks they were teaching out of before a lesson? Do you think homeschooling is just off the top of the parent's head? That there are zero resources or curriculum available?
If the only criticism you have of my points is that I made a pair of minor typos while using the obscenely small screens we've all gotten used to, you're not actually challenging what I've said, only nitpicking how I said it.
And work on that reading comprehension. I said "reclaim and fix". We had perfectly decent education systems before the DoE was founded, and we can have it again. Professional, properly professional, educators will always trump laymen floundering on their bedrooms and garages trying to teach msterial they themselves barely comprehend, if at all.
Using phones for anything other than travel or calling someone is for retards.
