When liberals took over schools, the schools went down the toilet

I wish I had the time to blow on a blog that no one reads, to expound on this. It is so true, all the "innovations" in education that started a hundred years ago.

Go read Anne of Green Gables, and see what NORMAL, AVERAGE children were expected to do at age ten and eleven and thirteen and fifteen. They were doing every bit as much in Paraguay in the 1970's. Probably we sent some stupid liberals over there and their education system has been destroyed--it matches ours today, no doubt.

Read "Marva Collins' Way" and see what supposedly retarded little black kids were capable of in the 1970's as well--after their school-of-ed teachers wrote them off as incapable of doing anything.

Oh, well, I'm not going on. Children used to learn to read thousands of words in first grade. Then the progressives decided that was too horrible a punishment, implemented the whole word look-see method and ruined the teaching of reading, and fifty years later book publishers were bragging how little they could teach kids in first grade. I'm referring to their bragging in published statements that they only taught the children fewer than 300 words. This was a great accomplishment, allowing the children not to feel threatened by the act of learning.

If you're not vomiting yet, you probably went to a school of education yourself.
