Teacher Boasts of Activism in Class

I’ve encountered professions with more ridiculously outsized egos than teachers – but few outside the newsrooms of the legacy media. That’s not to say that all teachers are up themselves. Some of them (far fewer by the year, if students’ results are anything to go by) are even pretty

That doesn’t, of course, mean that you can’t roundly criticise someone for being stupidly offensive. Criticising is not the same

The Current State of Public Education

Michael endoftheamericandream.com America’s public schools have never been worse than they are right now.  Test scores are falling, and many of our kids cannot read, write, speak or do basic math effectively. As a result, each level of education has had to be “dumbed down”, because each year
