Just this week, the Boston Globe published an article by Newton South High School math and physics teacher Ryan Normandin admitting that an allegedly progressive education experiment had been a failure.
Mind you, it was obvious to every single person on this planet that this experiment would fail.
But in the minds of these people, your kids exist to be experimented on, and to help usher in the progressive future.
Here was the experiment:
Let’s put all students in the same math class, regardless of skill.
Let’s put all students in the same foreign-language class, regardless of skill.
You already know a major motivation behind the policy: why, separating students by academic skill level yields insufficient “diversity” in the classroom.
Not keeping up with the latest in modern educational theory, you might have asked a coarse question like, “Will this new arrangement mean a better education for my kids?”
Oh, dear reader. The thought never even crosses their minds.
Precisely what you’re assuming would happen, happened.
