Our Indulgence Is Coming Back To Haunt Us...
...more proof that giving children "rights" and becoming their buddies is coming back to haunt us.
The Children Are Our Future
And that's why I'm fortifying my bug out shelter;
I then made it my business, when finding an older teacher,
to ask if education had been "dumbed down." To a person, I found that
this question unleashed volatile diatribes on how dull children had
become since the responders had begun as idealistic young men and women
in the field. Algebra teachers informed me that every year they were
forced to eliminate problem sets that previous years had mastered.
English teachers who once taught Shakespeare and Dante were now reduced
to leading seniors through Orwell's Animal Farm or postmodern novels
featuring teens in existential moral dilemmas. Moreover, the analysis of
themes in book reports had been deconstructed into not what the author
was attempting to portray, but what personal emotions were elicited in
the reader.
