Last November, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten annoyed the vast American homeschooling community by expressing bafflement behind the trend to remove children from school.
“What’s behind the increase in homeschooling?” Weingarten posted on X (formerly Twitter), referencing an article on Axios with the same title. This apparent cluelessness drew snorts of derision from parents all over the nation, who didn’t hold back on their responses by the thousands – so much so that Weingarten turned off replies to her post.
After stating, “The answer is in your mirror,” Townhall columnist Phil Hollaway questioned why Weingarten turned off comments.”Are you afraid of the answers you’ll get? You and the teacher unions with help from [former CDC director Rochelle Walensky] sent public schools into a death spiral from which they may never recover.”
Wicomico County School District won’t even allow comments on a lot of their posts on Facebook. Leftist loons hate transparency but love trans!
Learn this word, conservatives.
Subsidiarity.
The rule is that no higher power should do what a lower power can do for itself. That is how we raise children. Do not do things for your children (when they are developmental able) that they can do fo themselves or they will never learn and be independent. The feds created the Dept. of Ed to solve a problem that did not exist, as they usually do. Now, we have people getting masters degrees to become kindergarten teachers.
Insane.
Do you need a degree to teach english grammar? No- you need to KNOW english grammar.
So there should NOT be a federal department of education. There should not even be a state department of education. Schooling used to be a wholly local affair. The townspeople built the school, hired and fired the teachers, and were directly involved in education. Now, we outsource it to “professionals”
So, as it stands right now, unless and until the teachers union is destroyed. Unless and untill the dept of education is disbanded, there is no saving public school. Pull your children and help the collapse along.
