Full Reverse! Ed-berg Dead Ahead!

education, homeschool, schools, Unschooled

It’s turned into an education weekend at the old blog.

The failure and pending (or, in-progress) collapse of the “schools” becomes apparent to even more people.

“School finances are in full reverse mode. Whispered in the hallways before every school committee and in every town council chamber is the awesome reality that sales tax and property tax collections are down 25 – 30 percent. The fear is palpable…. It seems to me that Public Ed as we currently know it will be history in about four years. It is a big edifice. It will take a few years to fully implode, but not a decade. There’s no money left to keep it going as it is.”

Let four years come and go unhindered! We should pay to keep it from operating as it is, or was. Read the whole thing – from the insecticide factories to the declining colleges. It’s real and it’s really happening – now.

The solution is, again, homeschooling and/or small neighborhood schooling. Lately, I’ve been taken with the concept of unschooling, which was probably what I needed so many years ago. Would that work for everyone? No. But, the beautiful thing is that we don’t need, and in fact, cannot tolerate any more one-size-fits-none bullshit. All of the details can be ironed out and easier than most imagine.

Over this strange summer, multiple people have suggested that I found a school. It’s funny but I first floated the same idea to some Fed-Soc types back in 2001, in the basement of the Supreme Court of all places. As with the other big news of that year, nineteen years have passed and … nothing. I have looked into the idea. The closest I’ve come to action is a fictional character doing the work. I am not Tom Ironsides. But, I’m still interested.

Dr. I. always envisioned the necessity of an online component, even for a dedicated base school of unrivaled excellence. I think the home, more specifically the UN-schooling way, it the future (as it was the past). My vision of a remote “umbrella” school would be to publish the suggested direction in which parents should initially steer their young students, then getting out of the way, coupled with advisement as needed and a few other minor services. Umbrellas usually act to keep the state at bay. And, “we” could always offer a more intensive or directed courseload for those seeking computer-age direct instruction at a distance.

This scheme, along with multiple projects, one super project, and about six books, I’m slowly working on. If you have an existing or start-up idea on the same lines and you can tolerate a mildly cantankerous iconoclast, then let me know. Otherwise, please stand by: I might lean on some of you for capital. (And I know how helpful you’ve been on that front before…).

A new column is coming at the end of the new week. Stay tuned.

A follow-up(s) on the earlier ed story:

Catholic schools, many of them – or, some of them, are in trouble and some are closing. This is in keeping with the trend reported in the other story. It could also have something to do with the way the churches were attacked by the hoax shutdowns. If your child’s private school closes, do not use the public alternative. That’s when homeschooling really comes into play.

And, again, the colleges are in real trouble. LRC asks what we can do about it? He’s got some great ideas, of course. My answer might be: cheer.

Home Is Where The School Is

2020, education, hoax, homeschool, poll, schools

Or, where it should be in almost all cases.

The “schools” are slowly, painfully coming back into session, with masks and fear in abundance. In the middle of August, I noted a poll that showed that 82% of American parents were afraid of sending the kids back to school and that 25% would not do so. It may be a little early to see how those positions play out in full, but we do have a new poll with some mixed results.

Now, parents report to Gallup that 89% of the kiddies will be in some form of school or another. Yes, something happened to the concerns of 82% and the resolve of 25%. Nuances: public “school,” private school, and parochial school attendance is down this year. Charter school (a concept I’ve never really understood) enrollment is up. The great news is that homeschooling has allegedly doubled!!! It’s up to ten percent of all children from five last year.

The government’s indoctrination, molestation prisons are dead. The privates are, by and large, a mixed bag. Home is where the heart, the results, and the hope is. And, homeschools are not the second-largest block in the ed demographics game. If this trend holds, then next year home education will account for more students than all other public alternatives combined.

We’ll borrow a label and call these home students the talented tenth of the future!

The Mask Comes Off

education, Eric Peters, fear, hoax, masks, schools

Easier if never goes on.

Eric Peters recounts the Corona-ified tale of a private school teacher who was dismissed because he refused to bow to the mask.

A teacher recently lost his job for refusing to Face Diaper as ordered by the Sickness Psychotics who run the school where he works. And for refusing to abide the Face Diapering of the kids in his school. As he put it in a letter, his job was to “teach, not terrorize” the kids in his care.

Which is precisely what it is to force kids to walk around with a Face Diaper on. Unlike adults, who can understand the sickness of this “pandemic” of manufactured hysteria, kids – the elementary school-age kids this man taught – are especially vulnerable to psychological damage caused by making them believe everyone’s going to die by making everyone wear a Face Diaper and thus live in terror of everyone.

This teacher refused to go along with it.

After his dismissal, this man was contacted by several parents disgusted by the treatment he received but who admired his taking a stand for himself, on principle – and for the sake of their kids. They pulled their kids out of school and will now homeschool – to be taught by this same teacher, Undiapered and unafraid. Their kids will not be Diapered or made afraid, either.

This was at a Montessori school too. The fear is everywhere. But, the parents, some of them, did the right thing. It’s funny, as explained in the article, the irony of a Montessori school mandating fascism. But, if you care about your kids, then you are responsible for educating them – and not allowing them to be terrorized by psychos and idiots. Many thanks to EP for sharing this!

“Ideology and Diversity tempered by Corruption”

America, college, education, sad...

That’s the American university. That quote, from Ron Unz, appeared in this Larry Romanoff article from last November that I must have overlooked.

The quality of American education, as we will see, is far lower than the world has been led to believe, and the quality in China is in many cases much superior to that in the US. Americans might care to ask why it is that Chinese elementary or high school students moving to the US are often promoted by one or two grades. The reason is that they know so much more than their American counterparts they would suffer terminal boredom if forced to remain at their prior grade level. If we refer to the PISA tests, Shanghai’s math scores were 119 above the OECD average, or the equivalent of nearly three years of schooling, with reading and science exceeding the OECD average by about 1.5 years of schooling. And in some cases, the American students were behind the OECD average by approximately the same number of years as the Chinese were ahead.

In the reading, I had a few minor quibbles about something. I gave those up, finding in general, exactly what I’ve been seeing and commenting on for years. It’s a great primer on higher “education” in the exceptional land of the free. I found it in this Romanoff article, today, about all things “exceptional” in the USofA.

I’m sure all this will impove after the election!

Government School = #BLM

BLM, education, lies, propaganda, schools

As the dedicated professionals of the public disinformation and communist programming cabal reel from one sniffle-based hoax, they grapple with how to deceptively implement another.

John Marshall keeps a picture of Breonna Taylor in his office at the headquarters of Kentucky’s largest school district, a visual reminder, he says, of the need for curriculum changes that better honor and focus on Black stories.

Taylor, a Black emergency medical technician, spent her senior year of high school at Kentucky’s Jefferson County Public Schools, where Marshall, the district’s chief diversity officer, has been leading a system-wide revamp of teaching materials and practices.

Good golly! It’s another “education” story that has it all:

  • Chief diversity officer!
  • Shifting the focus of dumbing it down!
  • Minority majority in Kentucky (they ain’t alone, ‘Murica)!
  • Neo Tower of Bable confusions!
  • “Virtual” learning (which virtually isn’t)!
  • Equity and inclusion everywhere! (just like Holocaustianity, just maybe not quite as important?)
  • 81% of publik skool teechaz supporting Boisterous Lying Marxists!
  • CONTROL!!!
  • New “perspectives!”
  • Lies!
  • More lies!
  • Hyphenationated paperwork-citizens!
  • Likely CIA front company psy-ops!
  • Those meaningful conversations no SJW or globopedo will tolerate! Hey, yeah. Let’s talk about Cannon Hinnant’s murder by that… Oh, okay, I’ll show myself out the door!
  • Saint Floyd of the Opioids!
  • And, much more!

You’ve probably identified the biggest issue with this crock of shit, right? Having succeeded so brilliantly in destroying the curriculum and turning off the young minds, these changes have nothing to take root in. What else, really, can they do that they’re not doing now? White guilt trip sessions? Daily beatings? Equity lynchings?

Who the hell cares? Not you. You homeschool! You’d damn well better.

Government School = Child Abuse Projection

child abuse, children, education, Massachusetts, police, schools

Just when one thinks the satanists who operate the country’s failed public “schools” can’t sink any lower, they do. A new trend in “education” has teachers calling the cops and CPS on parents whose children don’t tow the moronic line on Zoom faux classes. Pot, kettle; black as educrat hearts.

If there’s one thing the public school system shouldn’t be doing right now, it’s making life even more hellishly difficult for parents. And yet many teachers in the state of Massachusetts are contacting the authorities to report parents for suspected child abuse when kids fail to show up for Zoom classes.

“Massachusetts school officials have reported dozens of families to state social workers for possible neglect charges because of issues related to their children’s participation in remote learning classes during the pandemic shutdown in the spring,” The Boston Globe reported on Saturday.

This story really has it all:

  • The little girl in the picture is wearing a fear hoax mask, while at home, putatively during a remote “class.” W.T.H?
  • Immigrants who can’t speak English.
  • Working mothers.
  • Single mothers.
  • Mass dysgenic effects.
  • Textbook SJW behavior: lies, doubling down, and projection.
  • Evil (and, I really mean that word) officials, who themselves abuse children, daring to accuse parents of the same thing by not playing the fool’s game of double-fake schooling.
  • Children, temporarily freed from direct attacks, still learning nothing.
  • A school district with elementary schools cursed with shifting demographics and collapsing academic performance. (Those usual go hand in hand).
  • Police state intimidation tactics.
  • Bullying and abuse (by a school) of a mentally challenged child and his family.
  • Lazy, wicked power-tripping, writ large.
  • Pundits who think the schools should be doing anything but closing and bulldozing.

Get your children out of these luciferian communism centers. Get them completely out, to include out of all contact, even the virtual. Homeschool or face terminal failure and accusations that you committed the crimes of the system.

Goodbye, Mr. Banks

Augusta, barber, Bobby Banks, death, education, history, schools

The world lost a legend last week. Bobby Banks, a heroic educator, and barber in Augusta, GA, died at the age of 87. I’m a little down about this and not sure how to begin, so I’ll just freestyle it.

Mr. Banks was formerly my barber, the greatest I’ve ever known, and a very good friend. He started cutting hair in another age while in the US Navy. He taught my parents in high school. Rather, he taught my Mother and tolerated Daddy. He was the principal at both my junior high and high schools, back when both were concerned with education. As luck wouldn’t have it, he skated ahead of me by a year or two. I never had the privilege of getting in trouble with him.

We had long talks about education. I know much about his time in the schools and his retirement. We spoke frankly about the changes over the years. He was the kind of man the public schools desperately need today (or needed 25 years ago) but which they simply will not have anymore. He was happier as a barber anyway.

He was fantastic with the blades – one of several business ventures he maintained. He was the real deal: providing manly cuts with razor-close precision, unafraid to perform a little impromptu surgery the way they did 200 years ago – usually without consulting the patient first. “Did that sting?”

I know tons of people who loved him in his academic role. The stories about his demanding, caring, off-beat, and semi-scofflaw ways are legion and legend.

“Where do you think y’all are going?”

“To Burger King, Mr. Banks. We can’t stand school today.”

‘Me either. Let’s go.”

He bent rules to do the right thing.

“You boys will be sorry you broke those windows.”

“We are sorry, Mr.—“

“The cops are coming! Shut up and get in my trunk!”

He was too good, especially for what’s become of the local ed scene. Back then, things, scores included, looked up, not down.

I got to know him in ways many students did not. He cut my hair before my wedding. He’d humor my daughter’s instructions and then cut my hair the way he always did. When Daddy was sick and dying and couldn’t leave the house, Mr. Banks made a house call – I know of no other barber who does or did. The connection was multi-generational. He proudly told me that his father and my grandfather used to raise and fight gamecocks together (back when America was a free country). He’s the only person I’ve ever lent my vintage cockfighting manuals to, the only one who was interested. The only one who, or one of few, who knew what Grit ‘n Steel was. He’s the only other man I ever knew who had one of Ethan Allen’s rare Bicentennial wall rugs – his copy hung in the shop at Daniel Village.

They don’t make them like they used to and I’m not sure they ever made another like him. All good things and people come to an end, even the very best. My condolences to his wife, family, friends, co-workers, and community left pooer by his passing, though richer for the knowing.

Farewell. Rest in Peace.

Performance Prediction is Racist

"racist", California, college, education, SAT, schools

As is any inherent ability, expectation, sanity, and anything, everything else. California colleges drop the (effective, useful, and admittedly not biased) SAT.

The empirical evidence clearly shows that the SAT is not biased, such that SAT scores are a valid predictor of college success regardless of your demographic background. In fact, the strength of the relationship between SAT scores and college performance appears to be getting stronger in recent years, whereas the strength of the relationship between high school GPA and college performance is getting weaker.

{snip}

Based on these results (and more), the special task force recommended that the UC continue to use the SAT in the admissions process.

But then, on May 21, 2020, the University of California Regents released a statement. They announced their decision to drop the SAT requirement for all applicants to all UC schools. {snip}

I mean, why bother to qualify students anymore? Everyone deserves to go to college and pick up the six-figures worth of usury, a hangover, and little else. In the future, employers would be better served to administer IQ tests to prospective employees instead of looking at meaningless credentials. Oh, wait, Griggs. Never mind. Just enjoy the ride, I guess.

2020, education, hoax, schools, TPC

bak 2 skooL

It’s good to be back! Things are great, though I lost my best pigeon in the search for MB. Anyway,

The other day, I ventured into the supermarket, a trip much like a 1950’s sci-fi movie about a spaceman visiting a strange, alien planet populated by masked, obese, mentally-ill Martians. After I informed the store’s masked Staatssicherheit henchman about the $92,383 fine for violating “my rights” under the ADA (thanks for the ammo, 41, liberals!), I was freed to shop sans the feminine face diaper. It was then, on my way to where the small potatoes waited in their little net bag, that I saw a Back To School! display. 

It was much like the colorful cardboard presentations I used to see when I was a small child, back in the dark Stone Age, before progress gifted us enlightened concepts like retarded millionaires kneeling and caterwauling about fantasy nonsense before commencing a child’s game in an empty stadium in a country gone utterly insane. Something was different. Hell! Everything is different here on Planet Woke-369. But, I meant something different about the display. There wasn’t much on sale. I figured that maybe, like toilet paper, the total collapse of the economy because of the failure of central banking, er, because of the virus(!) had caused some shortages. Regardless, two packs of notebook paper and six pencils won’t go very far, even in the age of post-literacy.

Then, I realized that there can’t be, as of yet, much emphasis on sending the kiddos back to the communist child-rape factories as nobody is certain how “education” will play out this year – because of the virus! With millions of children and their parents in a state of suspended educational animation (because of the virus!), it’s time once again to look into the schools. What a view…

If trends, regressions, and R-factors are to be trusted, then we can calculate that all things academic will continue to slide as they have for the past several generations. This exists independently of any chest cold or other idiotic sham. Just when one thinks the manure can’t get any deeper, it does. The schools suck. 

Yet and still, once again we are treated to mindless drivel about how important it is to ship the children off to prisons where they are lied to, dumbed-down, depressed, drugged, and molested. It’s very important if one thinks about it from the point of view of satanists. But the Coronoahoax complicates these critical considerations, critically.

A recent poll boasts that four out of five parents are considering homeschooling little Jill and little Johnny (I know those names are a little too Ameri-centric for the times, but I can’t pronounce, let alone write the new Not-American Q^namez, at least not in English). There’s more, but I can sum the findings like this: “blah, blah, blah, we do whut we tolt.” If skool fo fool, then the average dumbshit Amerikan will continue to get exactly what he deserves.

IQ matters, individually and societally. The Post-American US average clings somewhere around 92 (WAIS) on its fall towards the dull basement of imbecility. The entirety of 2020, with the ready acceptance by the masses of hoax after hoax after lie after lie, has given me a terrible thought. Wickedness, deviance, and hedonism, we know, depress innate cognitive abilities. What if HOAXID-BLM Amerika has crossed the collective tipping point below 90, the median score under which the guarantee of civilized order evaporates? If that has happened, then I might as well write a column about how things like your next election do not matter at all. Scary stuff.

But, back to precious children that the dumbshits can’t be bothered with.

Knowing the home county crowd like I don’t, I checked with the Newton counTy skoolz weedsight. It said something about the churin reporting virtually on September 8th. This virtual tragedy sounds virtually like the old system of starting school after Labor Day, which is an American tradition, and thus “racist.” I would point that uncomfortable fact out to the skuu bored, but I don’t speak to idiots. Also, C-town, for a cold chill, consult your local 2019 Census estimates and concurrent GA Department of Education d-word stats. You’re welcome.

Skoolz havz already started in some jurisdictions! In defiance of the national polls, in wayward Columbia County, Georgia, around 80 percent of parents are content to send their children back to the intellectual death camps. This complete statistical reversal from what the polled parents said shows what they mean. This is likely the rule and not an exception. Of course, they’ll keep the kids in place even as the “virus” cases mount in the skoolz, only taking them back when or if someone in authority says so. Sheep think and act like that.

The confusion struck hard elsewhere in the dead state of Georgia, in Paulding County. Leaked photos shot by students showed a noticeable lack of the sacred face burqas and a conspicuous lack of anti-social distancing. Then came the alleged WuFLu cases and a hasty dismissal. They manage epidemics as well as they do algebra classes. By the way, as one looks at the high skool hallway pictures from the AJC article, one gets a great look at all that happy, healthy socialization that the pro-skoolerz always babble about in poor rebuttal to the idea of literal learning. Yeah! Don’t they all look so happy!

And, they should be! They’re in a goddamned concentration camp where they’re treated worse than prisoners of war. To that sad end, at least one student who blew the pictorial whistle on the skool’z hypocrisy was suspended for showing the comatose publik what’s happening down at the little skool houze. That student’s mother challenged the suspension with apparent success. Still, the mother should be locked up for child abuse for sending her daughter to such a hellhole in the first place.

Everybody Loved “THE LETTER PEOPLE” On PBS

Around the nation-shaped kind of place, some skoolz are open (kind of), while others wait in anxious anticipation of something they cannot explain. The colleges, by and large, have opted for online “instruction” at least for the fall term. We all wring our hands over the looming fate of NAACP fBS BLM-ball. All over the place, teachers are protesting the autumn session because they do not want to work, or, excuse me, because they care so much.

Under the surface, subconsciously, almost everybody knows that the skoolz are a failed, pathetic joke. Yet and still, in some vacuous, Boomercon, Civnat haze of delusion, they expect the status quo to magically fix itself. It won’t because it can’t. Public schools are luciferian in nature, and nothing of the father of lies will ever be true, honest, or good.

There’s more about the publik shuuls, but enough. Parents should also beware of many of the private academies, especially the “Christian” ones. Watch the video at THIS LINK.

I attended that private, Chrisitan academy an age ago. I’ve defended it against idiotic smears of “racism” and integration agitation. I’m not deliberately casting aspersions. They mean well, I know. However, when the little warhorse perpetually got out of line, Mr. Logan, Coach Brown, Coach Peay, Mrs. Springer, Mrs. Williams, and so many others didn’t hesitate to apply the board of education. I’m just lovingly returning the favor. This hurts me more than it does you. That video looks like child abuse, and not exactly like an institution with even a mustard seed’s Faith in Jesus Christ. Do not send your children to any skool, publik or private, that insists on hoax masking. The masks do nothing unless to induce hypercapnic hypoxia or other ailments. 

So, what do we do? I have no damned idea. None at all. If only someone would write several hundred articles, some at this very outlet, and a book about education and alternatives! The same guy might also create a special website with dozens of resources for classical, home, and “un” schooling. But, no one has or, I guess, will. Doom. Black pill. Embrace the giant Brazillian barrio of the dark, ignorant, and violent future. 

What to do? The schools are worse than useless, now serving to destroy rather than educate or even indoctrinate. We should close them permanently. If we cannot do that, then we should ensure that no child is forced to endure the cauldrons of putridity. Homeschool, unschool, or just be ignorant; any option is better. Let’s make Alice Cooper’s old lyrics come true:

School’s out forever!
