The Left's Long-Range Plan Is Starting To Yield Results

Gary Varvel is a former Indianapolis Star editorial cartoonist, one of the many casualties of the Gannett takeover of the print media. (Disclaimer: I know Gary.) He’s also the creator of a lot of the memes that appear in The Gulch.
I suspect one of his most recent cartoons will appear here soon. One Founding Father says “Should we ban Communism and Sharia Law?” The other responds “Surely our descendants won’t be dumb enough to vote for that.”
For years, the public school system has been used more & more for indoctrination and less & less for education. Each year, more of these indoctrinated kids graduate. And over the past few elections (both the past few Novembers and especially some recent primaries), something has dawned on me.
I think that we are beginning to see those seeds germinate. I think this is exactly what the left envisioned a long time ago when they began their takeover of the public school system. Throw enough shit at the wall, and some of it is bound to stick; run enough kids through this perverted system, and enough of them will be convinced of its “truth” that they can begin to influence society.
And I think that’s where we are today.
I honestly don’t know how we (as a society) reverse it. I don’t know how we repair the public education system, or if can even be repaired. I don’t know how we limit the damage that is starting to occur.
But if we don’t figure it out soon, we’re screwed. I know, I know…thanks, Mr. Obvious.

Then I spent 1yr doing it... And realized...
I always wanted to teach people who are willing to learn.
Unfortunately, those are RARE students.
IMO. A grade school teacher has ONE job. That is to get children to LOVE TO LEARN.
Without learning, we are lost.
[We are HERE!]
First, age should be secondary for choosing the class difficulty.
Take the students, and sort them by ABILITY. The TOP tranche of students are held to a higher standard. At the 1 or 2 lowest levels, we DOUBLE the teachers, add "aids/volunteers/police officers (if needed)". Because most of the disruptive behavior is here.
And then you TEACH to a group of kids that have SIMILAR skills.
The teachers in the middle get bonuses based on how many kids move UP.
Teachers are allowed to push kids down a notch for failure to perform, or disruption.
Within each "tranche" you compare them to those that came before them in that tranche, and set the pace. BUT TEACH to engage the students where they are.
The end result, someone like me would end up in:
1) High Math Classes
2) Lower Reading Classes (Dyslexia, etc)
3) Average to low English Classes
4) Average History, etc.
But I would have been more engaged. Instead, I scored > 80% in everything on the ACT.
Except ENGLISH, where I Scored a 9% (91% of kids taking that test did better than I did. I underscored ALL of the English as a second language kids, LOL)
The logic is simple. It's hard to soar like an eagle when you are flying with turkeys.
Likewise, when there is pure chaos everyday in class, it's hard to get the attention you need to actually improve. You just want the PAIN to end.
I was lucky that I asked a teacher for help, and in my senior year of HS, he helped me go BACK to my 9th grade english text book, and redo EVERY assignment, accelerated. Then 10th grade, then 11th grade. By the end of the year, I was working on 12th grade English. He graded me based on the work I was doing, catching up. And he was clear. The first time I Dropped the ball, he was out.
Oh, and then he gave me the cheat code for learning... Which I have shared MANY MANY times... Thanks to him. May he R.I.P.
Thanks for the post...
I challenged her "I never mentioned race, and don't care about it".
She Replied "Yeah, but you sound like a conservative, and this is your way of shoving all the black kids together...."
I was like: "Ummm, who's racist now?"
But I took this as sarcasm from you. From her. A sign of the times.
Sorting by ability.. REGARDLESS of the color of one's skin... Should be the goal.
Just let it sink in. Would you rather be one of the 3 DUMBEST students in a class... And be left behind. Or be among the other 30 people in the school who are at the same level, and NEED help, and GET THAT HELP.
Everything is upside down!
....sigh.....

math scores continue to plummet,
more students entering college with math skills below the high school level,
nearly 70 percent of those students had math proficiency below middle school level. etc.
Authorities, education bureaucrats, unconcerned.
75 years ago (or more?) Milton Friedman said-
1. stop government money going directly to schools/ colleges
(obvious idea)
2. give the same money to parents to spend on children's education
(worth a thought)
Worth more than a thought = worth action.
Excerpt:
More than 1,400 UC professors — many of them in math, science, technology and engineering — last month signed an open letter calling on UC to reinstate the admissions tests, setting off intense public advocacy and private lobbying of UC leaders from faculty, parents and students on different sides of the debate.
In their letter, the professors bemoaned that “we now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle-school mathematics.”

The train has already rolled off the tracks, the cars collapsing onto the siding ... the passengers, some of them screaming, others faithfully asleep, most just on their lark of doom-scrolling through Taylor Swift music videos. Not much that one individual can do as the building is burning to the ground. We've covered this topic in prior posts, and how to handle the situation in which we live: Enjoy the Decline. Encapsulate your own life to the best of your ability and do what it takes to avoid interaction with the scaffolding and duct tape holding the mess together. Of course, all of this nonsense is being orchestrated from above. Do you really believe that AOC, Bernie, Mamdani, Katie Wilson (Seattle's Mayor) and the collective flotsam of children are calling the shots? It has always been a controlled demolition. The actual underlying property will be recovered by the global cabal after bringing in the bulldozers to clean up the superficial mess. As long as the lights stay on in context of an abundance of cheap and reliable energy, all is good ... love, peace and harmony, contract the act of Thinking out to The Experts.
The tried, militarily - Failed
We'll see how they do, socially...
NOTICE since USAID was taken down... RAP songs are not so much in the top 10.
Culture was being altered for the FEW against the many!
