High School Boys Struggling at our Big 3

I completely disagree. This can be taught in 2 seminars. The rest is North Korea type forced indoctrination. Also the course content is frankly unintelligent.

Follow the $. Who’s getting paid? Will tell you everything you need to know.

Your word choice sounds “unintelligent” to me and possibly like a teenager? It does not flow well.

It is a absolutely true that some of the “consultants” giving these lectures or preparing the materials are absolutely awful and pedantic. They undermine the benefit and are counterproductive. (I actually support teaching CRT in schools but it has to be done right and not overly wrought and long).

I know this because my company hired one such consultant and it was a disaster and embarrassment.

Yes, this is big money for some.

How so? The DPRK is a authoritarian dictatorship with sham elections.

Correct. OP chased the prestige of a “Big 3” (her words) and now regrets it.

Oh my! No school is teaching kids to feel white guilt or male oppression. If that’s the take away after learning that other people have been systemically held back for decades and are sick of it and would like to see themselves reflected in the curriculum and perhaps see some acknowledgment by this system than these white boys are more delicate than I thought. The world no longer revolves around only you. Grow up.

Don’t be a rapist, don’t be a racist. Done. Now give back your consulting $$$$$

Reinterprestation of theores?

So in other words, you don't believe there was wealth built in this country on the backs of unpaid slavery? And that institutions have marginalized people of color and denied wealth creation for people of color from an institutional basis since the countries founding? Please be specific, what do you find pseudo?

The wealth of some many of my ancestors came after slavery and lived up north where there was never slavery.

Your white ancestors still benefited from being able to vote unencumbered, being able to own property wherever they wanted (which undoubtedly helped your family accumulate generational wealth), being able to attend schools and colleges unencumbered, being able to own and start business unencumbered, having all Americans use their money to flow into said businesses, being able to own and profit off their trademarks, being able to hold high earning positions in Wall Street, medical field, etc. Need I go on?! The fact that you really think all racism starts and stops at this imaginary slavery line and north and south astounds me

Tell that to Jewish people that could not attend schools or live in neighborhoods or enter into certain fields in the US. They had all these restrictions put on them – look it up they couldn’t live in many neighborhoods in DC or work in many fields or professions. Somehow they manage to rise up though and overcome them and become very successful. Irish and Italians were treated terribly and could not get jobs or employment either. No Catholics allowed etc but not worse than Jewish people.

I agree. I’m not trying to play which group was discriminated against the most. The key difference in your statement is that African Americans were stolen from their land to work the fields that lead to the wealth of this nation. Black wealth is less than a 10th of whites.

This is so stupid. Teach it but teach it well. Don’t pay rando consultants to indoctrinate kids. It’s literally incoherent and poorly written and the only way to be good at it is to mindlessly regurgitate. So yes, it’s reminiscent of undemocratic and ideological movements and countries.

This cab be taught on 2 half Saturdays. And thought well

This one is. Have you been to any sessions? Or even read this thread?

Hi,

I'm an independent tutor. I hold a master's degree in engineering from a top university, but am also quite adept at teaching humanities. For $50,000 / year, I would be happy to work with your son/daughter for up to 8 hours / week. We could split our time between math (2 hours/week), English (2 hours/ week) and history/science (3 hours/week).

I a group of 10 students were to come together, I believe that I could discount the price to $45,000 per year. I would agree to spend 3 hours/week with each student individually and 8 hours/week with the students as a group - so 18 hours. In total. If 20 students were to come together, I think I could hire another teacher and pay them market value. I'd prefer to stick to math and science courses and maybe one humanities section.

I hope you see the value proposition here. Also, I won't really discuss race/gender topics in detail. It's not really my thing. In my experience teaching at one of the more prestigious private schools, I found that these discussions really lead to triggered students who then use them to justify not taking their test when they're suppose to.

If people really want, I can hire an outside consultant to come in and teach the class. However, that would be an additional fee to the student's families. I have a feeling most would not actually want to pay for their service, but I am open to the demands of the market.

Cheers,

Yes. Sure, that’s what we want. How did you guess?

How would you make sure these 10 young men don’t rape people if you don’t teach the anti-rapey course?

I hear that’s a big problem in DC. Students from DC private schools just you know. We know to lock our women away at 330pm
