Is it time to rebuild public education?
In the beginning there were public schools. Basics: reading; writing and arithmetic. Over time public education has evolved with the times. Reading; writing, math; history; science; sports; STEM; feeding children; healthcare (physical and mental); morality ("genderism")...the list of what schools "teach" (some might say "indoctrinate") has grown and grown. Testing...testing...testing. Educational fads (over time) see: https://www.swweducation.org/?p=4383 Should public education be torn down to the ground and rebuilt? What would a re-imagined K-12 program look like? Are we destroying creativity and snuffing out the spark of wonder and delight in education? We are putting children on … [Read more...]
