The Impeachment Thread

[C-south]

Democrats looked stupid with their false solemnity and their partisan antics.

Republicans looked stupid comparing this to Pearl Harbor and Jesus' crucifixion.

In short, both sides looked like complete idiots yesterday.

Now they just need to play the 6th amendment card.

Be careful with the first match I suggested. Those are pretty big girls.

I regret I looked to see who you were talking about, I'm trying to eat lunch here. Yeah I'm out on those matches

No. There is no "uniform core curriculum" that can meet the needs of over 50 million different students. Backgrounds, abilities and learning needs are quite varied. One-size does not fit all

With No Child Left Behind, we have already have a uniform curriculum because schools "teach" to the test. As far as my idea, all students learning in the US should have x units of math, x units of English, etc. I think it's important to shoot for everyone having the same exposure to the same material.

I honestly don't know where this conversation started but I'll leave it with this....no one is attempting to dictate methods or style and any fear of that is unwarranted.

I've also been involved with education on multiple levels for 25+ years (including curriculum development and review, plus rewriting and leveling standards for what seemed to be the sole purpose of making them different from the national standards.). I know how "national" and "federal" are instantly portrayed as bad by many, solely for political reasons.

It started when PT suggested there should be a universal core curriculum. I disagreed and pointed out that universal standards are different than a universal curriculum and then people went back to saying curriculum is just standards.

I do not have a problem with some universal standards though I would err on the side of keeping the list narrow. I do have a problem with a universal curriculum.

you can't be serious

The only part of curriculum specific to a given location is history/social studies.

Early on yes but at some point you have to play to their strengths and weaknesses. The days of “you can be whatever you want to be” and preaching a college education is the be all end all to kids that can’t spell, use proper grammar, do basic math, etc should be a thing of the past and just sets them up for failure.

Not all students need the same # of units of math, english, etc. If the goal is same level of minimum proficiency then there are many pathways to get there and a set approach or even # of courses means some students will get left behind (need more of those topics) while some are underserved because their time is being wasted with contented they've already sufficiently mastered.

It's not the content, it's the abilities/needs/backgrounds of the students that can vary. Math is math but the context for learning can vary greatly. Again there's a difference between standards (can do math at level x) and how you achieve that.

You are incomprehensibly bad at picking jello wrestling participants.

The states already have curriculum requirements for students. All I am proposing is we make it the same nationally since 80% of education is provided the Federal Government.

Same standards or same curriculum?

jello wrestling opportunity

I’ll get the PPV, you bring the booze.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Now that this is so over, maybe the Democratic House can move on to more pressing issues...


Like taking a nice, long recess.

I prefer pudding wrestling, though.

 

[volinbham]

To clarify - the use of the term curriculum in practice. It is not just the courses taught.

 

[hog88]

Is math different in Ohio than it is in Kansas?

Curriculum.

Because Russia and China have attempted to interfere or influence with every US Presidential election since the 1950s?

Nice try.

Its because they wanted Trump to win.

Why is that??????
