[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Achieve pushes “competency-based pathways.”

I say we need more critical thinking in schools, more holistic approaches.

Conservatives hate that idea because they won’t win future elections if voters think critically. So they push things like “competency based pathways.”[/quote]

What you characterize as "critical thinking" is understood by many to mean the indoctrination of younger students with a particular set of political views by teachers who do not seek to explore multiple perspectives.  "Comptency-based pathways" at least connotes learning things that will help graduates earn a living wage.  [/quote]

Hogwash. Once the right faced the fact that the more educated someone is more likely liberal they are, they began attacking our public schools. The right actually want to shut down open discourse. They are all about forcing crap pseudo-science and faux history on our kids. Conservatives are not fans of critical thinking. Look at how they twist themselves to make the orange man seem acceptable.
