I don’t believe this is true. Singapore is a global leader in applied technology and are investing in it for schools.

My niece goes to high school in Cupertino - home of Apple in the Silicon Valley - and they use textbooks.

My niece goes to school in Florida. They also use textbooks that teach about states rights and seem to white wash history.

Are they actually omitting things or are they just not teaching CRT like you want them to?

Teaching children the Civil War was about “states rights” is omitting some things, yes.

CRT has never been taught in K-16 schools so not sure why you interjected with thar. Weird.

Cut! The line is "cRt iS OnLy tAuGhT iN LaW sChOoL." Lol. Seriously though, even NPR admitted that CRT is being taught 8n K-12 schools when the AA AP syllabus was shown to be packed with CRT scholars. NPR pivoted and said it was good that it was being taught. That aside, any school teaching that systemic racism and white privilege are real and that equity is the solution are teaching CRT.

Whatever are you prattling on about? News organizations don’t “admit” things. CRT is not taught in K-16, the end. You lead an active fantasy life, though.

Hahah what a clueless dingbat. CRT is not taught in K-16? As is commonly understood CRT is absolutely being taught in our grade schools.

Exactly. Books by Kendi, Jewell, AMD Coates are all the rage in progressive and even school districts. These three authors are all proponents of C R T.

Dude we have annual “struggle sessions” at our workplace for Kendi’s drivel. The US in the middle of a Cultural Revolution whether you want to call it that or not, but it is completely antithetical to our enlightenment and founding values.

That is not why their PISA scores are higher.

It has nothing to do with what they have but everything to do with what they don’t hand in their schools. I’ll give you one guess as to what that might be.

Text books, standard curriculum, good strong teachers, high expectations, strong involved parents....

Is it, though? Has the pendulum not already swung too far? And if it is not already starting to swing back, will it not do so soon?

I would much rather give a child a new Scientific America article on a topic than a science textbook. The former is likely much more current and covers recent advances and developments. Similarly, a recent broadsheet newspaper article is likely a much better resource than a corresponding social science textbook.

It’s about balance. The internet is a gold mine of information when guided by a skilled teacher.

And guess what? Online articles can be printed out and handed out as a hard copy if you are worried about screen time.

Without basic information from a textbook, it is pretty unlikely that kids will be able to understand a Scientific American article.

Don’t feed the troll. I see what you are inferring here and it’s repugnant.

You think if these schools had less minorities and were only white/asian they would magically see the same outcomes as schools in Singapore or Scandinavia?

Asians are minorities. Why did you lump them in with whites?

Asians and whites enjoy privileges that black and brown people do not. You can’t be this dumb or are you trolling?

What are those privileges that Asians enjoy in the US that doesn’t come from hard work? Legacies? Corporate board and country club memberships?

Admit it, you’re just a simple racist. Asians have no privilege in the US, other than their sheer brute force of hard work and effort. In fact, they are far underrepresented in C suites and corporate boards, as well as in media and sports, especially Asian men.

To be fair to PP, some of them believe a system that rewards hard work and effort is racist. They're insane but this is what they believe. If you don't believe me, look up the NMAAHC's chart of whiteness.

I wish they'd start teaching graduate level law courses at our public schools.

Opened thread looking for insightful analysis of more tactile, less digital educational models


Conversation devolves in rants on CRT and use of scrolls in classrooms.

Thanks DCUM!

You're brainwashed by MSNBC if you think CRT is only a "graduate level law course." Why don't you define CRT's main premise and solution and I'll explain how it's being taught in K-12 schools.
