Please look carefully at the administrators of school districts. Some of them actually are, as was my late father, honest educators who do their utmost to see that in spite of all the obstacles, the pupils and students in their districts received the best education that is achievable at the time.
As mentioned in the Wednesday Teaching call, more honest teachers and administrators are sorely needed. We, along with TVP, can do much to make that happen.
Thanks for your comment, William. Indeed, there’s always room for more honest teachers and administrators; however, while I’m not so sure about administrators, I’m relatively certain that honesty is not at issue for the vast majority of our teachers. It’s not the “who” so much as it is the “how” and the “what”. In other words, I believe our educational decline is not because of a decline in our teachers’ ability to teach, but the diminished value of what they have been told to teach and how to teach it.
As you’ve probably heard the dumbing down of our population goes hand-in-hand with the ruling class self-serving objective of maintaining control at all costs. The focus of our classrooms has become perceptual thinking and socialization. Having a growing number of conceptual/integrated Neo-thinking creators running around would pose an obvious danger threatening to awaken the societal slumber induced by taking advantage of the bicameral, following-mode mind-set that we’ve inherited.
