THANKS VERY COOL GOOGLE I'LL JUST LET THE PLAGIARISM MACHINE THAT TELLS PEOPLE TO EAT GLUE AND BURNS DOWN THE RAINFOREST TO DESIGN MY CURRICULUM

ACTUALLY WE PROBABLY DON'T EVEN NEED TEACHERS WHEN WE CAN JUST SIT STUDENTS DOWN IN FRONT OF A CHROMEBOOK AND FEED THEM AI SLOP ALL DAY AND THEN THEY CAN USE AI TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

screm-aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Should make sure the lathe is away from me when I say this, but: I think it means daily or weekly quizes, potentially given to random students that will probably somehow get tied to school funding. Maybe teacher compensation.

Just trying to think of what's the most evil thing a management consultant would think of.

"No Child Left Behind" from no-oil was bad enough but then obama-medal made it worse with "Race to the Top." It's getting worse from here; I'm not regretting early retirement.

No child left behind Race to the top

Framing education as a competition with winners and losers is derply fucked. That's not how you learn stuff.

After my years as an educator experiencing increasingly worse learning environments, I have concluded that learning isn't even a priority for the ghouls that command these so-called reforms. It's about obedience training.

Have you ever considered running education like a business? Obviously market solutions are what we need, and that means competition!

Testing random students daily would be a lower workload than what was expected the previous school I worked at where I had to test all students daily.

I put in random because testing all students daily is obviously a dumb waste of time, so of course that's a thing.
