No place to go but up...



 


"The Democrats need to know they are not helping right now. If anything, they are hurting everyone. When you are sick, you can't take it out on your doctor. And right now, our education in this country is very sick. And the doctor is President Trump. Let him fix it." 



Holy cow! I knew the stats were bad, and we were down towards the bottom, but I had no idea that we were the bottom! Every red-blooded American should be in the streets with torches and pitchforks! And the Democrats in Congress - what the what is wrong with those people? They are spewing all their venom towards the DOGE auditors, and none towards education in this country. Does the fact that most of our kids can't read spit and are behind in their math bother them at all? We are falling behind every country who matters right now. Where is the outrage? 

Crickets. Why? This has nothing to do with education, and everything to do with power and the visceral hatred of Donald Trump (and now Elon Musk). Instead of all this blather, the loony left should be begging for answers on how to fix it. But they knew for the past four years the Department of Education was a mess. It was failing. The Department or Education and Joe Biden were complacent in turning our kids into products of our failure factories. Trump can fix it, but the loony left hates Trump. Hating Trump is far more important than our kids. Right Maxine?

Years (many years) ago when I worked at the Control Data Company, that company decided the future of learning would be computer based. Thus, they came up with the Plato Learning System. All employees needed to take their annual training using this system. It was the start of something which today, is very accepted and useful. When I used Plato back in the 1980's, it was on small green screens. Today, computer learning is interactive with videos, maps, formulas and so forth. I can only imagine what AI will do with computer learning. I firmly believe it will replace public education - totally.

Why be last when we can be first? When you go to the doctor when not feeling well, the first thing the doctor will do is determine what ails you. That is what Elon Musk and company are doing to the Department of Education. However, so much about this bloated POS is known already, the cure is also mostly known. Shut it down. Do something else, which will produce better results. Doing the same failure thing over and over is that insanity thing. We need to stop. Now. Period.

To come up with the right solution for our education woes, might be easier than many think. President Trump wants education to be determined by the states. For many states that will be very good. Other states - maybe not so much. Much more parent involvement will help. Technology will be a great help. Charter schools - maybe. Montessori schools - probably. Home schools - absolutely.

The Democrats need to know they are not helping right now. If anything, they are hurting everyone. When you are sick, you can't take it out on your doctor. And right now, our education in this country is very sick. And the doctor is President Trump. Let him fix it.
