So Many Stupid Kids Are Going To College, Marine Officers Are Actually Getting Dumber

Your reaction to my message is obvious. No one likes the truth.

If you read it again, you will notice that every point agrees with our current reality. I don't like the negative trend that human civilization is taking, and my opinion is about the causes or possible causes.

If you want a positive change, you won't reach it by lying and painting our current situation with flowers, flying birds, beautiful trees, blue sky... but by presenting the problems in order to be known and perhaps others decide to take action and correct them.

This is not about convincing others but about sharing opinions. You are welcome to dislike my opinions, and even to give yours contradicting mine.

I witness the building of additional classrooms for "special education" in public schools. Not a sole satellite building but three or more additional ones. No problem should be additional classrooms for "standard students" but an increasing construction of more buildings for "special education" students sounds turbulent.

Do not accept it so easily, at least try to find the causes.

 

Yes, it matters quite a bit which many on this forum seem blissfully unaware of. Eyewitness descriptions are more credible. I think this forum is saturated with inexperienced youth who think all opinions are equally valid. How silly.

 

Three new buildings for special ed? What school and county?

 

More specific in my post was "satellite classrooms". Unless your imagination overcame your reading comprehension and you thought about the construction of new buildings with several classrooms.

And about where, you can start checking your own jurisdiction. I live near some public schools, and I asked about the new satellite classrooms purpose. This is how I found out.

Why not you doing the same? Better than my words, just pass by any day when driving around, and stop if you see a complete remodeling in a school or if additional classrooms have been built.

In many schools, they use existing classrooms to make them in specific for special education and increase the number of regular students in other classrooms.

 

You can't tell me what school in what county put up this abundance of special ed satellites?
Ask me about Coweta County schools. The Northgate Vikings have the newest hughschool and best test scores. Property values in that district are higher because it is the best school district in the county. Their marching band is great, their football team sucks. The East Coweta Indians are the most diverse. Their sports teams are remarkably better than ours (Northgate) but their test scores and academic stats are much lower. Newnan High is the oldest HS. It is downtown. It has the largest minority student body and the poorest students overall.
No public school around me has a special ed building or wing. I am very interested to know what county you live in that has funded and promoted special education so generously.

 

You probably judge by yourself. But you're wrong. I'm free as the wind.

 

Just in case you did not know how to read.

 

You are not right. Maybe it would matter if I was the author. But the article was written by an American author. I just gave it for discussion.

 

What was I wrong about?

 

You are aware that Obama ignores the military chain of command.

 

I agree with one part of the OP:Schools have been dumbed down over the years.
A 9th grade education in the 20s would be on par with a Master's degree today.
Just look at those threads about the professors and their areas of expertise.
The higher education system has been corrupted in much the same manner as the medical system.
I have a theory that socialists are behind it because they want drones to control.
They definitely do not want analytical thinking.

 

It's just gotten more extreme, the people who are using modern tech are seeing their intelligence increase exponentially.

Those who are not using modern tech, other than social media, are not. It's not that they are getting dumber, but they are stagnant while others are increasing.

This is creating a bigger gap between those who are smart and those who are not than ever before.

Has nothing to do with the military however, other than Ruskies trying to use information incorrectly for propaganda reasons....

 

That is because those Iraqi's exposed to such Brain Trauma generated Explosive Pressure Waves ARE DEAD!!!

Only 10% of all U.S. Soldiers exposed to such Pressure Waves died as our Military has a very advanced and first rate rapid response Medical System.

In the past U.S. Soldiers exposed to such blast Waves would have died at a rate of 60% to 75%.

In Iraq our Medical Teams and Medical and Surgical Technology and Doctors skills lovered this to 10%.

The Iraqi's exposed to such Explosive Pressure Waves died at 99% to 100%.

It is the 90% of U.S. Vetran's who survived such explosive pressure waves that developed extreme PTSD as well as Neural Synapses Degradation.

The New Drug....and I went to a Medical Seminar within the past week as well there will be 2 shows about this new drug on PBS....detail how this new drug reairs such damage and it is a Life Changing Drug that allows Veteran's to once again be the men and women they were.

Your arguement has no logic as the Iraqi's exposed died.

The upgraded T-72's with Reactive Armor are easily penetrated by the SILVER BULLET ROUND.

If I was in a T-72 and an M1A2 Abram's was closing on me I would get out of that Tank and surrender.

Support vouchers and school choice. Support private schools, charter school, home schooling.
Regarding secondary education...it is a business. A choice. Competitive. Those things have made it pretty successful.
Critical thinking is not at all fostered or encouraged in government primary schools in the US. But it is in college. You can't get through Lit or Comp without the ability to critically think.

 

U.S. Public High Schools need to stress Trig, Analysis, Calculus, Computer Sciences, Biology, Biochemistry, Physics and Electronics and Engineering to a much greater extent as courses such as English Lit., French Poetry...etc should be elective.

In this High Tech. Modern World wasting time trying to figure out Old English Speech within Lit and Play's are just not things kid's need to get a JOB in the Modern era.

Wasting Time reading English and American Lit as well and reading Great Expectations, Shaksperian Plays and a host of other absolutely WORTHLESS KNOWLEDGE takes time away from the study of Mathematics and Sciences that are absolutely necessary.

Changing the notion of a one size fits all is key. Not every student benefits or desires college bound academia.
The price per student head in Fulton County is the highest in the state. I live 25 minutes SW of Atlanta in white suburbia. Fulton County teachers make 15-20k more a year. A certified teacher can always find a job there but jobs for teachers un Coweta County are not abundant and the pay is much less. No teachers want to teach there even though the pay is much better.
Fulton County should have a very strong vocational program. All that money could be used to teach poor, disadvantaged, minorities a marketable skill they can live on. Mechanic, plumber, medical assistant, cosmetology, electrician, four years of high school and all that money could be used to teach a marketable skill there.
That is a no brainer...
Politicians have no desire to support or advance any sort of thing.
In my almost all white metro suburban county there is a phenomenal vocational program. Students in highschool have the option to attend a vocational college without paying tuition. The medical field here is growing crazy fast. 16 and 17 year olds are opting out of the classic high school schedule and at WGT and CEC they are learning to be nurses, paramedics, radiologists...

 

Too much muscle headed athletics at High School that add "1" point to the GPA of those participating.
The 4.0 wimp can't compete academically, y'see.

Solution: End the add 1 point GPA policy.
Let academia be, academic, not promoting bone breaking.

Hawking, Jobs, Gates, King, Ford, Walton, Cathy, Zuckerberg, Springsteen...Not athletes.
Can you educate me on the 1 point GPA policy?

 

And now a word from your supreme leader!

 

Vocational Schools such as those that teach Auto Repair, HVAC, Electronics...etc....you will find that a relatively high level of Computer Training is necessary as well Mathematics and specifically Geometry, Algebra and Trig is necessary.

Why?

Because in this day and age the reair or instalation of such systems requires a student to learn and understand COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS as all vehicles nowdays must have a diagnostic run and then the auto or trucks computer must be reset after the work is completed if we are talking about teaching Auto Mechanics.

If we are teaching Electronics....the same.

If we are talking about what was once done with paper and pensil is now COMPUTER DRAFTING.

If we are talking about HVAC because of State and Federal Environmental Laws as well as Building Codes and Plumbing and Electrical....again a relatively high level of Geometry, Trig, Chemistry and Physics as well as understanding what materials are used and why they are used due to their Molecular or Elemental Properties.

You cannot get away from the necessary Sciences and Mathematics and Computer Training that is needed to work in these fields.

Even CARPENTRY requires knowledge in Geometry and Physics specific to Angular Support Vectors and Support Strength.

How did your occupation snd employer generate profit?

 

Well ... as told: I read that the ERA protects against the Silver Bullet (APFSDS-T), as well that others deny this as you know. I can't rate what is truth, but for me it makes pure with view on data's of both and how ERA works so far sense, that a APFSDS-T will be stopped before piercing main armor.

 

Awesome contribution. I will give Fulton County the memo. More trig, chemistry, and physics.
I cannot believe no one thought of such an obvious solution before.

 

I am a partial owner of now fairly large Family Owned Businesses.

My other occupation which I have described to the extent I am allowed....makes my employer the People of the United States.

I and my Family have worke VERY HARD ALL MY LIFE as my other...JOB....is governed by a specific contract that due to their need for my particular skill sets has allowed me a great deal of leway that I would not enjoy if I was Military or Agency Specific.

My Great Great Grandparents of which one was born in the United States making me a 5th Generation American...were very poor....and my Great Grandparents were farmers and shop keepers who just barely scraped out a living.

My Grandparents were very low Middle Class to Poor on that line and both my Gandparents on one side worked on the Manhatten Project as did my Grandfather on the other side.

One of my Grandfathers died due to Colon Cancer which was a result of the Milling Down of Uranium and as there is no history of cancer in my Family his loss was taken hard and we are still attempting to get compensation for his death as Colon Cancer is what a person get's when they eat lunch in a room full of Radioactive Particulates in the air.

My Parents were the first people in both Families to go to College and both my Mom and Dad hold Multile Degrees and they imparted to me some very useful Genetic Gifts one being my Mind and the other being my well above average Physical Capabilities such as strength, endurance, quickness, reflex action, muscle and bone density and unreal hand eye coordination.

I was a student no teacher wanted as I never let them get away with B.S. in the classroom as the saying goes...those that are good at something do it well and get paid for doing it....all others teach.
