Schools get more money from Daddy Government based on how many students are in special education classes, and we wonder why so many kids have "learning disabilities" now.

Somewhat relating to this, my school once had its finance classes listed as Special Education classes only. My sister had to fight like hell to get them to let her into those classes and to stop making basic classes that we actually need in life "Special Ed" classes.

Doctors diagnose whether or not the children have an issue that might require special education, but schools are the ones that actually determine that they do require it and assign them to special ed classes.

"Educated people don't question things, they answer them" Great quote. Many people mistakenly think education is about knowledge but in fact it's more about systemic instruction

[@averagejoe9040]

it is about knowledge, what it isn't about is intelligence. knowledge is just what information you know. Intelligence is how we interpret, extrapolate, and use it. Public schools love filling otherwise productive minds with useless skewed facts while suppressing students developing their own incite. That's why homework generally consists of "read this chapter and describe what it says" instead of "given what you know of these events, How do you interpret this situation". The closest public schools come to this level of instruction is book reports, but even those far more about just summarizing the book.

However, public school students are obviously underrepresented in these contests, while private school students are overrepresented and homeschoolers are significantly overrepresented.

Public schools don't have to suck, but the way they have been managed for so long has created a terrible, top-heavy, micromanaged system that cares about numbers and appearances only. The salaries teachers receive are a pittance, not even a living wage, and they wonder why the truly intelligent and talented almost always leave the profession, or avoid it in the first place. Education needs a renaissance. Bad. I got dibs on being Michelangelo. He was the best painter AND ninja turtle.

It sucks because I think a lot of public educational institutions are corrupt because they get taxpayer money and have no oversight from the government themselves. We have a civil rights crisis where students' first amendment rights, rights to due process, etc. are being violated on college campuses and our government does absolutely nothing to correct the issue. We had that Evergreen disaster where college administrators permitted liberal students to threaten students/faculty and the school violated so many civil rights it was almost as if they were trying to break a national record. There were news stories about them being defunded, but last I checked, that proposed bill hasn't left the committee it was drafted in. The state of Washington from the governor to its legislative branch knows that this college is flagrantly disregarding the constitutional rights of students/faculty and they have done absolutely NOTHING but summoned the administration to a Q&A hearing. I know people here don't like the solution of implementing tighter government control, but I think if the states and the federal government made it clear that they'd be willing to pull government funding from the college, then colleges would be more compliant with the law.

Many countries in the East will punish you for the rest of your life. I also was lucky to go to a rich public school where nearly every student was of above-average intelligence until I went to a bussing school. It was odd being a student where half the teachers were less intelligent than half of the students. Before in my geography class they would ask who here has been to this country? Now they ask, have any of you been to this state. It showed me that many teachers are forced to teach to the lowest common denominator. It also showed me that for some reason all of my obese black female teachers were racist as shit when grading and with discipline. It was not until post-grad where my teachers showed us the studies that blacks poll much more racist and antisemitic than whites or the "average".

That's just the short list. I was also on antidepressants throughout high school for this crap. They made me gain a lot of weight. So what does my teacher do to "motivate" me to lose weight? She stood me up in front of the class and taped packages of snack cakes to my hips while everyone laughed. Understand too that this woman was herself morbidly obese- and those snack cakes were _hers._ It completely screwed me up. I did a couple years in Baptist private school, but that only resulted in more of the same, but with religious overtones.

I had a 12 year old friend on the app game Clash of Clans and during a chat he mentioned he was having a very hard time with his American history assignment. I asked what the history assignment was about and he replied it was a questionnaire on the Texas War of Independence aka Texas Revolution. Oh goodie! I love the history of Sam Huston, Jame Bowie, Davey Crockett and the battle at the Alamo! I offered to help and asked to him to write off the first question...here’s what it was. “In full complete sentences, please explain how colonialism drove native residence from their homeland and how it tricked natives to fighting against their own governments and traditional values.” I’m like, “Say what now? What the heck is the school even asking? Most of the revolutionaries were Texan Mexicans and they wanted to be freed from the tyranny of President Santa Anna and so gladly joined Sam Huston in the revolution!” The next question didn’t make any sense whatsoever at all either! “How much has changed in the last 100 years with white colonialism overthrowing sovereignty territories and annexing land?” Okey now, this was getting insulting. I then asked my friend, “Pardon me, but do you even know who General Huston is?” He replied, “Never heard of him!” I proceeded to ask, “Okey, how about James Bowie and the Alamo?” He replied, “Wasn’t he some British Singer and wasn’t the Alamo his greatest hit?” Oh boy...I cannot tell you how much of a WTF moment that was for me. Lastly I asked, “Please tell me you know what the Texas Revolution was about, do you know that at least?” He answers, “Is it something about Americans invading Texas and stealing it from the Mexicans?” Enough said, it was then I advised, “Ask your mom and dad to look into a charter school, your school is shit!”

I personally do not understand how he didn’t know who Sam Huston was let alone the battle at the Alamo. He could also just be dodging class for he’s bragged about doing it before and I told him he’s an idiot for doing it.

All because I wanted to try out giving a fuck for a change. I had a above average high school (100K ave income, CA, public) and breezed through HS by focusing on sports and classes that mattered; so on my way through high school, all the issues that I now attribute to leftism were an issue but I had hope they would go away once all the dummies got weeded out in college. There were plenty of other smart lefties that went to Berkley, so I felt conservative just for choosing UCLA (closer), but due to the nature of my high school college was far more liberal than high school and I could actually see for myself legitimately not just lefty but seriously dumb kids pushed though other school systems. It felt as if the reason I had worked, in order to be able to learn with other kids who were actually smart, had worked backwards. Additionally, being raised on the beach and realizing the importance of hard work, my two favorite high school sports were beach volleyball and wrestling; which I soon discovered were the first victims of title IX gender equal sports spending and varsity slotting. On top of that my favorite summer pastime from scouting; camping and backpacking, had been significantly impaired by the complete defunding of the outdoor department. Title IX threat would also lead to sexual assault accusations resulting in removal of members from my fraternity which were unacceptable.

When my mom was in college to get a degree in education one of her professors straight up said that the point of the US public education system, which was designed by self-proclaimed socialist Dewey, was to train children to be good servants of the socialist state; she then proceeded to instructed the class on how to deceive parents during parent-teacher meetings to keep parents unaware of the indoctrination their children were being subjected to. Not surprisingly, my siblings and I were all homeschooled and my parents took part in the legislative battles required to get homeschooling legally protected from power hungry Education Boards and their armies of truancy officers and social workers working for the oft ironically name Child Protective Services.

ArcherWarhound your story is compelling, thank you for sharing.

[@ArcherWarhound]

MrManiac3 You're welcome! many people don't realize just how many socialist ideas and policies were adopted into our government and culture during the 1900s. Like the state and national parks: a big reason they were created was because the governmental elites and business tycoons thought that the industrial revolution would keep continuing the automation of production at such a breakneck speed that soon the majority of Americans would have so little actual work to do that they would need the parks to provide spaces for everyone to spend their copious leisure time. We're still hearing a similar tale being told by many folks: "AI is coming for your jobs! We need socialism to redistribute wealth to all the people who will have no jobs!"

I asked an A.I what ended the Great Depression, here’s the response; During the Great Depression, the government implemented the New Deal, which included various programs aimed at providing jobs, stabilizing the economy, and regulating the financial system. While these measures helped to alleviate some of the worst effects of the Depression, it was ultimately World War II that brought the United States out of the economic downturn. The war effort created a massive demand for goods and services, which in turn led to increased employment, higher wages, and a stronger economy. Additionally, the government's spending on the war effort helped to stimulate economic growth and create new opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs. While World War II was a tragic and devastating event, it did have the unintended consequence of ending the Great Depression and setting the stage for a period of sustained economic growth in the postwar period.

I was a d-f level student and would get in fights with my teachers all the time, I was on the way to being a Highschool drop off even though I had already taken College level classes with my father, and was reading and understanding Paradise Lost, Bewoulf, and other Classical literature. My dad put me in a Private 'drop out' school, or a school that everyone called the drop out because students that couldn't take public school were sometimes placed there, and through their stricter discipline, more open teaching, and the fact they actually talked to me, I graduated two steps down from Valedictorian with a full 4.0 grade point average.

[@dhgmrz17]

Wait what, I went to christian school and we learned about evolution. I mean I know the teachers or I didn't necessarily support the idea but were weren't sheltered from it either and they even had us debate each other on it. Also if you won the debate you got bonus points no matter what side you were on. The teacher never attacked us and she allowed us all to think freely, not once was anyone punished for their belief even if it didn't line up with the teachers. I'll admit even I would be upset if I was at that school, express your views, but don't shelter me or attack others from having opposing ideas.
