But it makes a larger point.<br /><br />It's a point we don't want to discuss because it's not politically correct. Are education schools pulling in our best and brightest? We already know education majors do the least amount of studying. And yes, independent study is completely appropriate in college, just not in elementary.<br /><br />I see some real polarity these days in education. I have brilliant friends who left lucrative positions in industry because they want to give something back. And then I see other teachers who selected this field because it was an easy major. There is no question the pool of talent has been dumbed down.<br /><br />Shoot me. I am a liberal. Just sayin'.HomeworkBluesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184539467031647989.post-58159968595646885752012-02-03T06:15:41.253-08:002012-02-03T06:15:41.253-08:00Yes, the "cocktail waitress" remark is o...Yes, the "cocktail waitress" remark is obnoxious, but I left it in because it's driving at something important. It seems that the public schools were pretty good in the '40's and '50's, and they've been careening downhill ever since. Why? What happened? How can we fix it?FedUpMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951858601020687242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184539467031647989.post-39085924774502803332012-02-03T06:09:38.300-08:002012-02-03T06:09:38.300-08:00I find this insulting.
