They must be putting something in the public water system out there to generate that much mass stoopid.
Johnny, teachers do not decide what they wish to teach. They head for the class room with a course that they may or may not agree with. Rules and regulations from the Teachers Union, the job is to teach what they are hired to do.
There is a reason that dedicated teachers find other jobs. Stress is high, when a hole is poked in the facts of something, the teacher even knowing the information they must teach is false, they have to teach the false information, they cannot on their own change or update new knowledge.
It does not matter if the teaching material has a huge typo error, that error must be taught.
We have know for years that the publishers of text books for schools are not uniform. Depending on the are of the country the books will have some interesting teachings and slants for that area.
Military family's that move about the country know this if they help their kids with homework. Same Publisher, same subject but we notice that the text books from a school in LA. may contradict the same book in Vermont.
It is not the schools we need fear, not the crazy educational ideas they use, it is who ever is in charge of sending down the pipe orders to them what they must teach.
The teachers union takes their orders from someone in Government. No principal can go against the Union, the Union cannot go against the Government.
Parents have to be aware of what strangers are filling their kids heads with.
I myself saw to it my kids thought outside the box, question and use imagination to figure out any subject. One young man in school with my son took the SAT and was deducted points for a incorrect answer to a math question. The parents spent large amounts of money to prove their child was correct, the experts that created that test were wrong. It took almost 3 years for experts to agree they were wrong.
I come from a family, both sides of school teachers, believe me with all considered, this is a heart break job.
