[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Singapore still uses paper textbooks and lots of paper worksheets.  Teaching style there is very traditional.  Their PISA scores are far far higher than the US and have been for many years.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]

My niece goes to school in Florida. They also use textbooks that teach about states rights and seem to white wash history.[/quote]Are they actually omitting things or are they just not teaching CRT like you want them to?[/quote]

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. [/quote]

You are right... it is "critical theory" that has infused education schools, and virtually all lesson plans.  The idea of oppressor and oppressed is expressed in nearly every history lesson.

You are being purposefully obtuse, but if you need to understand, go to teacherspayteachers and start searching and buying history lessons.  English classes are another major source.  [/quote]
