Transformations

No. I am not talking about substituting x-c for x. I am talking about "the changes to education" and the transformative discussions.

We watched a cutesy video on the YouTubes called "Did you know?"

It's basically telling us that we'd better watch out because the Chinese and Indians are gonna take all our jobs and they're a big threat to American dominance and jobs in this country and MySpace is the 6th largest country and "OMG".

SO we need to transform our school to compete with the new version of the "Yellow Peril" (not their words, but that's the impression).

Funny thing is that all of the so-called experts and educrats are pushing reforms and policies that are diametrically opposite to the ways and means that allowed those menacing countries to catch up with us in the first place.

If you listen real close, you can hear them laughing.

  2. Yeah, let's see. I believe Washington State just passed legislation that would add "social emotional" learning as an objective. Well, at least we'll be able to cope with being losers.
