educators are idiots

I refuse to publish the picture that goes with this… nooze. Here’s a nice tree frog instead.

One more nooze article, this one, and then I’m done for the year. Let 2022 blow one last fart.

Time Magazine has picked up on an associate professor of history’s blather about “The White Supremacist Origins of Exercise” (https://nypost.com/2022/12/30/time-magazine-roasted-for-article-suggesting-exercise-has-racist-origins/). This moron “teaches” at The New School in New York City.

Yesterday it was Sean Penn looking like a homeless wino. Today it’s this unsightly character from The New School. (No, I will not post that picture.) I’m beginning to wonder if spiritual pollution eventually manifests itself physically.

Well, anyhow, in recent years Far Left Crazy has begun to embrace obesity as some kind of virtue signal. “By their fruits you shall know them,” said the Lord. I didn’t know He meant it literally.

These people, who insist that they’re the brightest of the bright, need to be mocked, need to be laughed at! And Time Magazine probably needs to go out of business. Stop buying it.

In the stupid world of Common Core, third grade math, 5+5+5=15 is a wrong answer ( http://www.businessinsider.com/why-55515-is-wrong-under-the-common-core-2015-10 ).

We who have not had our brains baked by Common Core know that the equation is correct. But Common Core is trying to teach multiplication via a “repeated addition strategy,” which requires the kiddies to rephrase 5 X 3 as 3+3+3+3+3=15 instead of 5+5+5=15.

What’s the difference?

The use of the repeated addition strategy, 3+3+3+3+3–get this!–is supposed to come in handy when the kiddies are in high school learning multivariable calculus.

Multivariable calculus? Are you for real? We’re talking about kids who can barely write their own names, think Switzerland is an island in the Pacific Ocean, and are not quite sure that Star Wars isn’t real. Has anybody who has anything to do with designing Common Core ever been inside a classroom?

One is led to wonder whether anyone at all involved in the higher strata of public education is a total blithering idiot.

We used to memorize the multiplication tables. The question of why 5X3=15 is of no practical use to anyone and need not be considered.

Public schooling: making America a little dumber every day.
