The latest and greatest wastes of mind power and money in the American Public School System:
Oh, criminey. Just what American high school students need: “Less homework, more yoga”Welcome to 21st century public education in the US, where one in 10 schools are “dropout factories:”
No more honor rolls to reward the high achievers.
Birth control for middle schoolers.
Forced bilingual ed for students who don’t speak Spanish.
Pledges of allegiance to the planet.
The penetration of fuzzy math, whole language, and other destructive pedagogical fads.
And just this summer, the U.S. dropped out of prestigious international math competitions in the wake of bottom-of-the-barrel test results.
Self-esteem rises, academic rigor plunges.
American kids’ brains are getting emptier every year.
But they’ll have the most limber muscles in the world. Hooray.
