Episode 145: Survey Courses? Yes, We Desperately Need Them. (Wed.

Episode 138: Traditional Education is what we need now (Wed., Feb. 21, 2024) Watching progressives wreck education is a kind of sport. Maybe some of you think it's fun.

Here's the problem simply stated. Much of the Education Establishment is terminally, tragically in love with stuff that doesn’t work. These people are the problem.

The truth is daily trampled. I'm not joking or exaggerating. For example, phonics is necessary but schools deliver sight-words, which will damage children. Schools won't teach elementary arithmetic. Too difficult or racist. And constructivism fills the rest of the day. Kids are told to construct their own new knowledge. Good luck. So we have hopele…

Public schools are now like the Titanic. Sinking fast. We need aggressive reform. We need Resistance. The professors of education at Harvard are obsessed with social engineering.

Episode 123: Sight-words are a con?? Of course. (Wed., Nov. 6, 2023) Sight-words, always a con, always a funny bit of business that the professors of illiteracy came up with.

The public schools are a hell hole. Do you think the experts don't know what they're doing? Oh, they know. They know from A-to-Z that everything they do encourages bullying and bad manners, degrades authority, dumbs down the students, and makes everybody's day miserable. They are dangerous, these so-called experts. Most people who have been to ed s…

Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023 For more than 125 years, Education has been a field dominated by far-left thinking. Instead of reading, writing, arithmetic, and other traditional academic content, these ideologues emphasize social engineering and psychological manipulation. These concerns should not be primary in an educational institution. Worst of all,…

Let's get serious about reading. You can teach it only with phonics because English is a phonetic language. All the other stuff is bogus, a distraction, counterfeit. a perversion, a crime against the next generation. If you are preparing pedagogy for a slave population or workers who need to read only short instructions, then sight-words are okay. …

Episode 115 -- Wed., Sept. 13, 2023 There are good ways and bad ways to do everything. John Saxon was obsessed with finding the best ways to teach major subjects, especially math. Our public schools seem not to share that obsession. John Saxon has been gone 28 years but his spirit and his famous textbooks endure. Every parent should understand what…

The Education Establishment has cunningly devolved our school system. Little is taught, little is learned. K-12 is a boring hell for most children. After Covid was over, the total number of students had dropped by more than 1 million. These children voted with their feet. Let's stop pretending that the school system is acceptable. It's time to supp…

Public schools are bad. There's no excuse for this but there is an explanation. The Education Establishment is far-left, and they don't mind dumbing down education if they can thereby dumb down the country in general. If you want better schools you have to reverse the whole process. Bring back the good ideas that liberals got rid of. Dump the intel…

School Alert #1: Don’t Accept Lies About Reading. Here's The Truth. What is the single weakest spot in all of education? What is the Achilles heel? Simple. Reading.

Response on Twitter: “THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL AND BRILLIANT.” (Wed., August 16, 2023) The Education Establishment has an S&M routine they inflict on the American public, boredom alternating with hopelessness. So much of K-12 education is counterintuitive and counterproductive. Kids are not excited about knowledge; instead they are made dumb by s…

The Education Establishment does not allow K-12 to improve. They like mediocrity. That's why, 30 years ago, George Carlin could announce so confidently, "Nothing will get better. Don't expect it to get better." I hope everyone will get more involved in education. For a statement of my perspectives and proposals, please visit SUPPORT EDUCATION REFOR…

The Greeks were so clever. Why not take advantage of this? There are hundreds of memorable quotes left by Greek philosophers, a job they may have invented. Use these quotes to draw children into geography, history, logic, etc.. The pattern in K-12 education, for more than 100 years, is to ask a question: is this material easy, is it simple? If not,…

Garbage in, garbage out, it's an infallible rule. If you make students do something the dumb, inefficient way, everything goes downhill. If a benevolent alien were to tour our country, his first comment is likely to be, Hey, mate, somebody's playing games. You’re using all the worst ideas known to the universe.. ------------------------------------…

One phenomenon that still shocks me but shouldn't is that our Education Establishment has one peculiar gift: they can riff for hours about literacy and other vital subjects without ever saying anything important. What our professors tell us is that sometimes birds fly to the east and sometimes they fly to the west and sometimes they move both wings…

Keep It Real. No More Theory. You can do something--that's real life. Or you can talk about doing something, which is theory. Too much theory and there's no real life left. I think that education to an astonishing degree is theory-driven. That's professors talking, talking, talking. This means concretely that a bunch of highly paid experts could sp…

Reaction videos are a fairly new phenomenon. This article explains what they are and why they're wonderful. Basically, any video content can be the stimulus for somebody's new video content.

What is the favorite gimmick used by Marxists? They promote dumb policies that make society worse. For example, they allow looting and arson in urban centers. For a parallel example, they allow whole word and sight-words in the public schools. Having created lots of pain and destruction, they claim to be the group that can fix everything. That is t…

Episode 102: A Best Way To Teach Everything (Wed., June 14, 2023) Schools could teach so much more. Make all instruction much simpler, much faster, much more dramatic. With lots of repetition.

Episode 101: Can you stand the truth about Mutant Math? Deep-down you probably can't accept the thought that there are people intentionally sabotaging American children. But there are.

The most brutal satire in American literature (Wed., May 24, 2023) Reading is the central skill we need in school. That is why the far-left has so persistently tried to discredit and discard phonics. Instead, children must memorize the English language one sight-word at a time. Folly. The passage discussed here is from a famous novel. You might thi…

"Every scientist must believe in God.” Mark Liu Thinking you know all the answers guarantees that you won't know all the answers. Which brings us back to critical thinking, which was the topic here all along. It's a constant irritation to me that our Education Establishment pretends to care about critical thinking or truth generally. They manage to…

Instead of education, kids receive indoctrination. That's not much fun. And when it fades away, the kids have nothing left, Sad truth of the matter.
