Thanks to Dworkin Barimen.

Creepy Joe Biden pervs on another child.

NBC "News'" "Big Think" vertical -- the same vertical that published so much from communications director for the the pedophilia-mainstreaming group, the Protasia Foundation, Noah Berlatsky -- doubles down on the Democrats' winning message in Virginia: Parents have no say in how stupid woke 24 year old girls decide to indoctrinate their children.

Schools face parents who want to ban critical race theory -- and don't get how teaching works

An educator's top goal is to teach students to think. Parents who dictate curricula with their personal opinions, ideologies and biases hinder that goal.
Parents have always tried to interfere with curricula, as I observed when teaching middle school in the mid-2000s.

You know what it takes to teach 8th grade?

It takes a ninth grade education.

That's not a joke; that's the real requirement. The teaching profession requires an Education degree not because that degree is difficult or useful but because it limits the number of teachers and therefore elevates the salaries they can demand.

It's a guild maintenance grift. It's a guild/union-imposed requirement solely for purposes of limiting entrants into the field. Allowing any educated person with competence in the field to be taught would drive down their salaries from artificially inflated to something more like what the market would offer based on actual skill level.

Because literally any educated person can do this.

This is why teachers get angry at programs like NYC's initiative to bring in people without education degrees to teach in city schools. They know these people can do the jobs -- but they don't want the fake value of their fake credentials diminished.

She thinks her education degree makes her a Scientist.

No really, she does. Let her Sciencesplain this to you.

Even then there was no shortage of parental input about the content of my instruction, from books to test questions. Part of the problem is that parents think they have the right to control teaching and learning because their children are the ones being educated. But it actually (gasp!) doesn't work that way. It's sort of like entering a surgical unit thinking you can interfere with an operation simply because the patient is your child.
Teaching, too, is a science. Unless they're licensed and certified, parents aren't qualified to make decisions about curricula. In fact, parental interference can actually hinder student advancement. An educator's primary goal is to teach students to think. Parents who attempt to influence curricula with their personal opinions, ideologies and biases hinder that goal.

Christopher Rufo looked up this Scientist's background, and found she is... about what you'd expect her to be. Someone who, in his words, has elevated her mental illness into a political ideology.

By the way, this is another admission that they are teaching CRT in schools.

The media publishes an op-ed one day saying CRT isn't being taught, next day, publishes one saying that it would be terrible to not teach CRT. They never demand that educrats, teachers, or Democrats resolve these contradictory claims.

Because they're partisan liars and have no relationship with the truth any longer.

Does forcing kids to sit through a Drag Show with sexual twerking, and to participate in it, count as CRT? Or are we calling this Science?

That drag-queen story. Wow.

I'll be listening to that on my hike tomorrow.

John Kennedy called Biden's communist, literally Soviet-trained thief and nominee for Comptroller of the Currency "comrade" in her hearing and the Washington Post had a conniption: Why, this is... Red-Baiting!

Red-baiting, shrieked the same newspaper which... red-baited the previous (and current lawfully elected) president for five years running:

Note that that's not just the same newspaper -- it's the same hack propagandist.

I guess it's cool to suck up to the Soviet Union again, huh? We're all done pretending we're rootin'-tootin' sixgun-shootin' commie-huntin' American Avengers, now, huh?

Seems like old times.

The mid-wits who stupidly believe themselves smart are killing us. Absolutely murdering us:

All the mid-wits do is repeat what they see other mid-wits repeating on Twitter (which in turn comes from still other mid-wits). Read, repeat, retweet. Read, repeat, retweet. Read, repeat, retweet.

And they think they're Top Intellectuals in the field of Twitter Science for regurgitating claims they've never investigated nor, truthfully, ever given a moment of serious thought about.

This is National Review's entire business model -- they give succor to idiots.

Well, not idiots. Mid-wits.

Knock knock. Who's there? Houston Health Department. Are you vaccinated?

In this town, there were some outlaws bound to teachings of the Red
Many soy boys were among them, as were trannies overfed
They were vicious, prone to violence, burning gas stations and more
And their leader rode a skateboard rolling swiftly on the floor
Swiftly on the floor

It was over in a moment as the folks gathered around
The skater sought the rifle as the youth lay on the ground
Oh, he might've went on livin', but forgot one major thing
And he fell down, shot dead by the kid with an AR on a sling
AR on a sling

They are who we thought they were:

10 Have to disagree about Ed School. It's goal goes beyond what is described above. It actually is meant to EXCLUDE competent people from teaching. It means that those teaching will be worse teachers than you would have if you just randomly took people who could get into college.

36 The "CRT isn't being taught" line is really based on this: Grade school teaching is always based on some theoretical basis, which while not itself taught directly, underlies all that is. Thus, in a traditional Catholic grade school, the 2nd graders don't actually read the Summa. But what they are taught does derive from it.

Nah. It isn't. It's a skill. A talent. Maybe, at the extreme upper level, an art. Not a science.

Source: have an actual advanced degree in an actual science, and also won a lot of teaching awards (both student-awarded and faculty-awarded) when I was in academia. While I'm pretty proud of my teaching accomplishments, and (unlike some) worked hard at being a good teacher, it wasn't a "science" under any reasonable definition of that term.

81 #10 - I think there is something to that. When I was in grad school I ran into a guy who was in an education program, working on getting his certification (while no ed degree). At one point he was working on...a craft project befitting a first grade class, and this was for real done for credit towards that certification. This didn't elevate how I viewed teachers at the time.

82 I thought they don't generally perform colonoscopies on 78 year old men, on the theory most prostate cancers take decades to kill you. I know some prostate cancers are aggressive and kill faster, but I've never heard of a man that old getting a colonoscopy.
Posted by: Huck Follywood at November 19, 2021 05:40 PM (PUXju)

FJB has paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and is on blood thinners. It is my guess that he was found to be anemic on a blood test, and the colonoscopy was performed to check for the source of blood loss. The "Routine annual physical" was a cover, and if not for needing versed for the procedure, we would have never known. It is also possible they are trying to figure out why he has no bowel control.

JJ, your parents are obviously good people - look how you turned out. That they stayed in the rough schools to help kids speaks volumes. The Almighty's blessing on them for their efforts.

85 As a former teacher there is some science involved (that Piaget stuff) but otherwise a course in leadership teaches much that you need to know.

Although lesson planning until you got it cold is damn near necessary.

What does the MSM focus on? Gun control of course. All the victims (none of whom died) are "boys and girls". You know just random boys and girls who also belong to gangs and shit.

90 OT: Here is an example of the demented Japanese language.

Go to Radio City wiki page and switch to Japanese.
The 5th and 6th character is "te" and a small "i" (pronounced like a long "e") (all in katakana)

That means you say "te", but use the "i" sound for the vowel. So "ti"

But Japanese has a character for "ti" , but their "ti" is pronounced "chi". So they just took another "t" character and stuck the "i" on.

All this is unofficial and you will be hard pressed to find it in any dictionary or list of katakana. Go to wiki page on katakana and you will see no mention. Now, of course this is a very common word, and most towns have a "city hall" (which is a funeral home) written using this completely unofficial character formation. This isn't just spelling, it is letter creation. Like if we took an "F" and added a loop on the bottom to make it sound like "FR" a whole new sound and a whole new character created out of thin air. Everyone understands it because it uses existing tools to create the sound, but it is all unofficial. Documented nowhere. It's like they refuse to admit it exists out of politeness to us English for having such an inferior sound.

91 10 Have to disagree about Ed School. It's goal goes beyond what is described above. It actually is meant to EXCLUDE competent people from teaching. It means that those teaching will be worse teachers than you would have if you just randomly took people who could get into college.

Hell, back in my day (70s) it was precisely the dumbest students who went into Ed. And everyone knew it. I doubt they've gotten better.

I know I should have figured it out by now, but I still do not get how the Left is able to stay together with such separate dogmas. It should fly to pieces. Lord knows that on our side, we're always fighting about shit. But somehow on the left, deviant sexuality counts as race. And both count as Islam.

That's interesting, because I used to say "You know how von Clausewitz said that no battle plan survives contact with the enemy? I say that no lesson plan survives contact with the students." Heh.

I agree that lesson plans are a good thing, in general, but you also have to recognize when the lesson plan has failed and be prepared to wing it.

Trying not to wade too deep into the poisoned well of Rittenhouse Discourse, but a number of people I follow seem to believe the people he shot were Black which I think says something about the level of engagement with the specifics of the case.

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald; 2h
The largest media outlets in Brazil this week had to retract their articles on the Rittenhouse case because they claimed it was a case of a white youth having shot and killed two black men. They got this from the US media, which deliberately cultivated this false narrative.

My mom started her teaching career as a substitute teacher in urban public schools. Her first day, the principal showed her a panic button in her classroom and issued her a wood baton to use for self-defense.

I wouldn't have picked a fight with her, because I was scared of my dad, but her students were unaware of him. Her career as a substitute was mercifully short. Much respect to the Seftons, ma and pa.

Yes. Basically you have to write a text that will offend neither TX nor CA, and good luck with that. At best you're going to wind up with boring pablum that offends nobody, but is merely deadly dull.

Most states choose textbooks at the district level. CA and TX both choose them at the state level, and they are both very large and populous states.

The only people I knew studying Education (especially elementary ed) in college were sorority girls with big tits and great asses who were there on daddy's dime to meet a Pre-law or Pre-med major and get their Mrs. degree.

If this was the plan for my fourth-grade teacher, she failed. (One of only two teachers I had who were single, and the other got married halfway through the school year.) In her defense, in spite of her having an elementary ed degree, she did churn out quite a few virulent anti-communists. And she would absolutely be shot if she tried to go teaching at an elementary school today for this and other reasons.

When you are new you need that lesson plan and its back up. "Winging It" is what you can do when you got it cold. It takes a few years to get that down, and as a substitute (like I did for a few years) it is hard to develop that since you bounce around so much.

My shop teacher (let's say 29 years ago) let us make all manner of knives, swords, and other potentially dangerous things.

The only thing he wouldn't let us take home was the cast-aluminum cannon, bored to take a piece of chalk, with a threaded breech plug bored for a firecracker fuse.

Might have something to do with it putting about an 8" hole through the lath and plaster wall of the shop when we test fired it.

But me, I figured he just wanted to play with it himself.

196 Rodrigo Borgia: "While I'm pretty proud of my teaching accomplishments, and (unlike some) worked hard at being a good teacher, it wasn't a 'science' under any reasonable definition of that term."

For the vast majority of applications, teaching is a task. The end user isn't really studying anything; they're applying something. It's not academic in that sense.

However, there is some science by a much smaller subset in the discipline where actual science can be and is done. Like (and I'm making this up but go with me) how to design the optimal feedback mechanism of verbal cues and individuals with limited vocabulary. Or the best optical patterns to use in graphics to stimulate the optic nerve and neural sensors.

That would be using actual science in studies to improve objective performance using physiology. So there is science in teaching, but the day-to-day application is not centrally around creating this type of focused study. The day-to-day remains applying methods the science wing has developed and distributing it to the classroom. Most of the science was done for the classroom already and the teachers are mostly following a template.

I had a CS teacher who taught my intro to CS class. He was a big C++ guy and he proudly told us he was only two weeks ahead of us in our Java book.

At the time I didn't think that was a big deal, but looking back, there's a big difference in the language philosophies which colored how he taught us. Java code written using C++ design philosophy is shit code and he taught us some bad habits.

So she showed up and four days into the school year she went about putting together her class. When I first saw her I remember thinking "She is so pretty!"

235 The problem with education can be summarized as follows:

-STEM is sparsely staffed because STEM is in high demand
-Non-STEM, and specifically humanities/social studies, has a line out the door because these fields are in very low demand.

Not quite. STEM is sparsely staffed because most can't do it.
Non-STEM has a line out the door because anyone can do it (badly).

You made a mistake asking. The points are for the year so far. They're based on the number of dogs defeated. So if a dog goes Best in Show, it's considered to have defeated every dog competing that day. If Lila gets a Hound Group 1, she's considered to have defeated every Hound competing that day.

Lila has 2 Best in Shows and 22 Group 1s. The Sammy has 63 Best in Shows and 125 Group 1s. That's the difference.

These are guys who spent so much time in the military that their ideological views are not well formed because they skipped the years civilians were forming theirs. Their solutions for problems tend to be authoritarian like mandatory public service and simplistic things like "compromise".

Their brand is toxic to Democrats, even those that support 2a.
