It probably wouldn't hurt to stop teaching kids that they're walking around on the side of a big ball but rather, they are walking on a level terrain. The dissonance between the idea of walking on the side of a ball yet standing upright likely contributes to far mire mental damage than can be known.
....& creates an untold number of doubts and insecurities. Its a bit challenging to have high confidence and not live in dout when we question our own senses.
The heads of the educational system have an agenda, which has harmed all the children in our public schools. In addition, the government promotion of vaccines in the schools has lowered the intelligence of every recipient since the 1950s, when parents started taking their children to doctors regularly for shots not knowing that items like aluminum and mercury were in them, which cause brain damage and lower intelligence were . Our school system started making them mandatory in order for children to go to school. The government also permitted the food industry to promote all kinds of processed, nutrition poor foods, which provided no nutrients for the bodies and brains of American children.The school system promotes drugging hyperactive children who have been eating sugar and other foods, which make them hyperactive; and they can't sit still. Children's memory and ability to learn depend on having nutrients in their foods. Everything our government has done has lowered the health and intelligence of every child. These things must be changed in order to help children regain their ability to learn.
Barbara: Indeed there are multiple issues that need to be fixed regarding the K-12 education system. That said, we need to prioritize this list, and fixing the curricula is Number 1.
The creation of an INSTITUTION wherein "education" is supposed to happen, is indeed the very crux of the issue, be advised that the old USSR proved once & for all that central control doesn't work - therefore it is completely valid to ask WHY is there even such a thing as the Federal Dept. of Education?
Bob: There is some misunderstanding. The only "central controls" that exists in the US regarding K-12 education are the State's Departments of Education. The States are 95%+ responsible for the existing K-12 disaster — so giving them more control and more money is a major mistake.
The Federal government controls essentially nothing regarding K-12 (see graphic), and I favor that.
as long as there exists a Federal Dept. of Education, there is a problem, they exercise some control over what happens in “school” and the ONLY way to correct that is to dismantle the Federal Dept. . . . . . .
exactly how is it that the “Dept.” justifies its existence at all? by what metric could they show that they are worth the taxpayer dollars that so far have been expended?
Bob: Your first statement is a common misunderstanding. You should be focusing your ire on the fifty States' Education Departments. They are responsible for our dire situation. Until you understand the casuse of the problem, there will not be a solution. The Depart of Education could go out of existence today, but four years from now the K-12 education system will be 50% worse. Is that what you really want?
and for the entire system, what can be shown that the system is doing its job? by what sort of standard at all can the "teachers" of this system be said to be TEACHING ANYTHING except for compliance with the system?

Let us not teach dogma . . . however teach QUESTION EVERYTHING
Bob: "Question everything" means to be a Critical Thinker!
Solid.🏆👍
Thank you.

Bob: Good. They are not. The fault lies in each State's Education Department, and has zero to do with the DOEd.
