Rant: Over indulgent parents strike again

So when she got to kindergarten, the teacher would leave her to read
to the class while she (teacher) took a break or something.

Probably back in the cloak room shooting up marijuana.

Analyzing what *can* be changed doesn't mean that you have to change
anything at all, but that you look at the situation and see if there
is something you can do and want to do.

Which brings us full-circle to the room full of adult "authority
figures" intent on "suggesting" "courses of action" to the
already-pounded child. "Surely you WANT to be able to avoid this,
right?" "Surely you want to be able to prevent it from happening again,
right?" "Surely you want to alter yourself so as to prevent a situation
where us adults are forced into the same room with THAT bully, right?"

If any answer isn't toward conformity, then repeat the above for another
20 minutes.



So, in your view, adults should never offer insight or help to a kid,
because the kid will always view it as coercive. Adults should just
shut up and do nothing.

Not at all. Adults should identify the bully and deal with him.

Can't achieve perfection - only strive for it. The answer: great
teachers. This will require actually paying teachers enough to make it
a worthwhile profession.

So you don't have a solution. Thought as much.

You are apparently illiterate. I'm sorry.

You mean teaching kids that it is normal to be gay, and abnormal to be
straight? That tolerance?

When does anyone teach it is abnormal to be straight?

Yes, it is much better to teach kids about Chinese, Indian and
Australian culture than to teach them about George Washington,
Lincoln, and Kennedy. Teachers have had those horrible subjects
removed from textbooks as they are so unimportant.

Those subjects have not been removed. They have just been
added to with other heroes and reading of books from other
cultures as well as from American and European literature.

In math, show the children different ways to solve
problems that were developed by various cultures.

Now I know why schools are so bad. We are now teaching kids
they can do math how they want, regardless of the answer.

Do you know that our method of carrying is not the one used
in Australia? They seem to do fine with theirs. The methods
are different, but the actual *answers* in terms of calculation
are the same.

Have you ever tried adding in hexadecimal? The answers look
different because they are written in a different base, but they
aren't incorrect because of that.

Have you ever added with seconds, minutes and hours and
carried by 60s instead of by tens to do so?

Have you ever used some of the shortcuts that many people
who are good at thinking about numbers use to do mental
arithmetic? Do you really think people get the wrong answer
because they do things differently?

Sent that post before I finished it. I can't remember who this
story is told of. Perhaps Einstein? Not sure. At any rate,
the story goes that the children were asked to add up all
the numbers from 1 to 100 and get the answer, this student
came up and gave the answer after a minute because he
used the Gauss method which doesn't require that you
put the numbers down and add them up the way most
children have been taught to do. Noticing the pattern that
1 + 100 = 101 and 2 + 99 = 101, and noticing that there are
50 pairs that add up to 101, the calculation is simple.

At any rate, the teacher in this case punished the student.
That hopefully won't happen where the teacher understands
what is happening and is actually teaching the students to
recognize such patterns.
