Speaking without thought is what most people do on a regular basis.

Absolutely, unimpeachably true. People have absolutely no idea how bad it is. The teachers are, to a woman, illiterate, innumerate, and utterly uncultured. If you have children and you are sending them to school, public or private, you are aiding and abetting your blood’s intellectual defenestration and otherwise committing heinous child abuse. I was, as a child, sent to both, and I speak from firsthand experience: the paramount aim of the school system is to waste the youth of the youth. A greater crime against humanity can be scarcely imagined—the Holocaust’s lampshades, soap, and bears and eagles are as nothing in comparison. Avoid at any cost.

Place: A State College

Students: All White, almost

Class: Linear Algebra circa twenty five years ago

1st test being returned

Professor: As he is handing back graded tests he said: the six student who don’t get a test come up at the end of today’s class. At that time after cllas the six students were in front of the professer who asked: “Who are you and what are you doing here?”

Education Student: We are education students who will be teaching high school science and math. Our advisor said to take a course in the Math department so we selected Linear Algebra since we were all well versed in Algebra. Note: in the school of education the math and science is taught by professsors of education not mathematicians.

Professor: The highest score on the test taken by your group of Education Students is a SIX out of 100. The course is only going to get progressively harder so you all should drop the Linear Algebra and return back to the School of Education and join a course there this semester.

Education Students: murmering heard and one student said: “if you would spend the time and teach to us the subject at our level we could learn the subject.

Professor: if you don’t want to Flunk the class drop out now. They did.

Professor to his friends in the department: “You will not believe the quality of the students, TOP STUDENTS, in the Education College. Then he told the story shaking his head.

And one may wonder why American students are so ill prepared for college–the answer in a large part because of the fraud of Teacher’s Colleges.
