Title: Money Will Not Solve the Education Malaise in America
Topic: Education
Discussed by Dr. Paul Peterson
with Dr. Paul Peterson (www.PaulEPeterson.org)
Money is not the cure-all.
Removing bad or ineffective teachers is not the cure-all.
In my honest opinion, liberal-democrat-progressives brought in new-spelling and
new reading techniques and most students are far behind in reading skills. These
same “experts” broke the teaching methods for math and science and now they want
us to trust them with Common Core.
Common Core cannot continue. Period. Bring back the basics. Give the kids ample
recess time. Teach them how to climb a rope and jump a hurdle, instead of
tossing a plastic ball back and forth so they “don’t hurt someone”. Teach them
the fundamentals of music. Every day. And let them paint and get messy for
crying out loud! Kids need to be creative. They yearn for originality. Teachers
want their kids to have fun learning! Stop all the testing and just teach!
