Fed Ed dictates every move the locals make with the blessing of our equally corrupt state departments of education.

Both exist for themselves- crass bureaucrats/educrats who haven’t educated one child. The siphon taxpayer $$$ & use it to keep their existence existing for the sake of existing.

Every $ bestowed upon the individual states (& on down to individual school systems) comes with HUGE STRINGS attached.

Many dictates conflict with local mores & belief systems. NO local control anymore.

Electronic records are kept on every child for life. Common Core ushered in Data Mining on a massive scale. Teachers are inundated with “paper work,” checking off boxes, busywork, leaving limited time for genuine teaching.

We have SEL (Social Emotional Learning) which probes into personal info of children & seeks to cure what ails them. We have CRT (Critical Race Theory) which divides kids according to oppressors & oppressed. Kids just accept each other until adults mess with their minds. These programs are causing anxiety in many children then SEL, etc. swoop in to “help” fix them. Right.

Sound familiar?

Cause a problem; then “fix” it (their way).

A child psychologist told me his clinic load exponentially exploded when Common Core was implemented. Never had he seen so many anxious & disturbed kids. He & his wife removed their own school age children from public schools & recommended the same when I asked his advice about a friend’s grandchild. Her family were at wits end over her school system & what was going on; I consulted him as to where they could get help (he was located 3/4 across the country from them. I thought he could direct them to someone he know in their area. He ended up telling me the real solution is to leave the public school system).

Our education system is broken as far as truly educating our children. It only provides jobs all the way up the chain.
