[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Original point is not being addressed.  Just a bunch of whining about past grievances. [/quote]

Past grievances? So tell me, what happens right now if a student asks a teacher in class about Tiananmen Square, or posts about it on their social media?[/quote]

You cover it, let the student make their own decision and then move on to the next topic.

YOU don't want anyone moving on to the next topic. So, we have a students graduating high school that can't complete 8th grade math, read at an 8th grade level with low levels of literacy, can't point out the South American continent on a map and need remedial tutoring in multiple areas before entering college.[/quote]
As I said, I'm not here promoting the US as having some magnificent educational system -- in fact, the opposite. But you are campaigning for yours.

So once again, what happens if that child posts anything at all about Tiananmen Square on their social media, even just a memorial post on the anniversary?[/quote]

I'm not Chinese. I'm a red blooded American living in Virginia.  What I'm telling you is step one is admitting you have a problem and then tackling that problem with tough love.

I told you, you cover Tiananmen and move on.  You can also cover FDR putting 110,000 Japanese-Americans in internment camps.

But we need our students to be able to FUNCTION in a society and perform on a daily basis.  Social opinion can only get you so far.  It doesn't manufacture goods, get product from point A to B, invent the next hardware/software platform, construct housing and fix/install plumbing and electrical when needed.

We're spending an ungodly amount on education compared to the rest of the world and turning out incompetence. Part of it is parenting and part of it is education and discipline.[/quote]

Dp- sweetie, are you not understanding that in China they don’t cover it? They don’t move on, because they aren’t allowed to speak of it. [/quote]

Sweetie, what you aren't understanding is they (Asia) can out perform you on just about any and every level, because they try. They're diligent and they haven't let their standards drop like we have. Same with Europe.

Meanwhile, you're telling us math is racist, we need more drag queen story hour, every child needs a trophy, and there should be no standardized testing to get into college (or even K-12 because someone's psyche might be damaged).[/quote]

If it is that great I am just wondering why there is no mass migration to that country, including you should line up too… [/quote]

Maybe because they're not going to accept 10 zillion poverty cases and they do what's best for themselves. We have so many problems and you insist on taking on more. Are you self-destructive?[/quote]
