After a week in the late-summer sun, it reeks. On Aug. 24, Biden announced his plan to cancel up to $10,000 in unpaid educational loans for those earning $125,000 per year or less. Debtors who received Pell Grants could abandon up to $20,000 in student loan obligations. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1661449456 8-25-22 French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday promised more pay rises for teachers amid a recruitment crisis that has led to around 4,000 school vacancies ahead of the start of term. For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app. A week before classes open after the summer holidays, Macron told school heads that efforts to raise teacher salaries which began in 2020 would “continue.”   He added that “no teacher will start their career with less than 2,000 euros net” per month, which would represent a rise of about 10 percent compared with now. Figures from the education ministry showing that 4,000 teacher jobs remain vacant have led to a debate in recent weeks about how to attract more people to the profession. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1660842234 8-18-22 Teaching Reading Again: The Struggle by Jon Rappoport (To read about Jon's mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.) Time Magazine reports there is an internal struggle among teachers and school systems across America---in an attempt to turn back the clock and teach the basics of reading to first and second grade students.   It seems that phonics was dropped by the side of the road years ago, because many teachers didn’t have the patience for it. They wouldn’t go through the laborious step by step process of imparting the basic sounds of letters and letter combinations to young minds.   And trying to read without learning those sounds is a complete failure for all but a relatively few students. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1654374958 6-4-22 Oak Park-River Forest High School in Chicago apparently believes that black students are dumber than white students and must be given special grading privileges. Part of the school’s new “equitable” grading system includes giving students with dark skin – meaning non-whites – automatic higher grades because they cannot perform to the same academic standards as light-skinned students. A similar thing occurred in San Diego several years back. Entitled “Transformative Education Professional Development & Grading,” the plan was presented at a May 26 meeting presented by Assistant Superintendent for Student Learning Laurie Fiorenza. “[The plan] calls for what OPRF leaders describe as ‘competency-based grading, eliminating zeros from the grade book … encouraging and rewarding growth over time,'” reports explained. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1651510658 5-2-22 It looks like people are voting with their feet when it comes to public schools. One unexpected benefit of the pandemic is that parents finally saw how much the woke indoctrination in public schools has ramped up in recent years. Parents saw that children were being taught bizarre teachings on sex and gender as well as the neo-racism of “anti-racism” along with the alternative history of the “1619 Project.” One school district in Tennessee had the gall to try to get parents to sign a waiver promising that they wouldn’t listen in on virtual classes. After a significant amount of pushback from parents who asked what the heck they were hiding, the district said that parents could help their children during virtual lessons but only with permission from the teacher. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1649859619 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1648066221 3-23-22 Lately you’ve noticed that it takes your tween son twice as long to write a paragraph on the computer as it took you to write one in cursive, back in the day.

House Bill 888, introduced on Thursday by Republican state Rep. Thomas Brad, begins with a statement countering the claim that systemic racism is woven into America’s social institutions—an idea popularized by proponents of CRT, who see deeply embedded racism in all aspects of American life. “Slavery, racial discrimination under the law, and racism in general are so inconsistent with the founding principles of the United States,” the statement reads, pointing to the civil war and political campaigns that ended slavery and racially discriminatory laws, as well as the change in public opinion that has long rendered racism unacceptable. “All of which dispels the idea that the United States and its institutions are systemically racist and confutes the notion that slavery, racial discrimination under the law, and racism should be at the center of public elementary, secondary, and postsecondary educational institutions,” it states. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1641236418 1-3-22 Schools across the United States over the weekend announced last-minute closures due to the spread of COVID-19. Students in a number of districts are slated to return to class on Monday morning from the winter break. Some districts blamed the closures on staffing issues or the rise in cases driven by the Omicron variant. In Massachusetts, more than a dozen separate school districts were closed or delayed opening on Monday, Jan. 3, with officials citing the spread of COVID-19 and some snowfall. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1634396619 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1632756414 9-27-21   For more than five years, I have been writing reports that document the dangers of the encroaching corporatization of public education through ed-tech privatization. Now, under the duress of COVID panic, public schools are rolling over to the globalist Tech Barons of the e-learning industry, just as these technocratic oligarchs of the ed-tech empire ramp up their corporate takeover of education systems. This takeover is largely occurring through public-private “distance learning” contracts that are substituting human teachers with data-mining artificial intelligence (AI) while also replacing brick-and-mortar schoolhouses with virtual classrooms online.  If you thought that teachers’ unions would fight to protect their dues-paying public educators from this techno-fascist power grab, think again. Collectively, the two largest teachers’ unions in the United States have been selling out to ed-technocracy for over a century. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1631984037 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1624469254 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1622911507 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1620405549 5-6-21 In the name of equality, the California Department of Education seeks to dumb down the brightest kids (Article republished from MishTalk.com) Dumbing Down of America Takes Another Leap Forward A friend of mine emailed an article the likes of which always prompts me to say “really?” Please consider the Reason article In the Name of Equity, California Will Discourage Students Who Are Gifted at Math.

Responding to a tweet California will be taking up the 1619 Project doctrine in its schools, Trump tweeted Sunday morning: "Department of Education is looking at this. If so, they will not be funded!" The year 1619 was the year African slaves arrived in Virginia, and the project doctrine paints that as the beginnings of America and will be sharing that message to students in schools that adopt it.   Sen.

That of course is really the only sensible alternative we have. However, as we ramp up for another school year online, it behooves us to pause just for a moment to reflect on the serious downside of overplaying this emphasis on technology as a long-term educational method.

Taking to Twitter to voice his frustration, Trump argued that countries including Germany, Denmark and Norway have reopened schools “with no problems.” He also repeated his claim that Democrats want to keep schools closed for political reasons and not because of any risks associated with the coronavirus. “The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1593723716 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1593669413 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1592837374 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1591813885 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/education/public/news.php?q=1591377860
