We have reached the culmination of our modern, sophisticated and exorbitant education system as epitomized in the current urban rioting and statue demolition.
The students involved excel in the modern version of the “3 Rs” — rioting, razing and revolting (as an aside, I find the entire Democratic Party and its education system to be revolting).
The exorbitant, obsolete system should be abolished and replaced with one that has a proven track record. The “mod” Ivy League approach is passe. In comparison to other nations. the U.S. is in the top category of spending per pupil and in the bottom category for scholastic achievement. European and Asian systems should be assessed and emulated.
I believe the educational bureaucracy is analogous to the “deep state” within the federal government. In David Horowitz’s new book “Blitz,” President Trump’s senior policy adviser Stephen Miller describes the “deep state”: “It is a collection of permanent bureaucrats who believe they know better than the voters how the country ought to be run.”
In education, it is the incompetent Ivy League pedagogues who believe they know better than the parents and educated citizenry on how the system should operate. Their overall rating is F- and they should be deposed.
We must recognize the abject failure of the current system (F-) and then select the best of the foreign approaches and incorporate them in a new “modus operandi.”
