Constructivism has been a huge fad for decades. I denounce it as much as possible.
First of all, it prohibits teaching...you know, that's what they did in schools until Constructivism came along.
Listen up, peasants!! There will be no more direct instruction!... Isn't that idiotic on the face of it?…

Stop doing the two most destructive things now common:
1. Avoid all the psychosocial innovations, such as SEL, CRT, and many more. These things do not give children the foundational knowledge they need. These things are essentially propaganda.
2) When basic knowledge is taught, it's rendered useless by incoherent sequencing and dull…

Episode 41 explains that the decline in American education started with John Dewey. He wanted children to be rearranged, transformed, and socially engineered. He didn't want them to know all that much. So, the guy universally called the father of American education, is actually the number one saboteur of American education. Dewey's ghost roams our classrooms.

The point of going to school is to learn the basic information you need to thrive in life. A lot of this is very simple stuff. Easy for children to learn, if anyone would bother to teach them. I argue that knowledge is priority one. See Episode 39.

Kids can't seem to learn math. The teachers don't seem to know math. National scores continue to fall. What exactly is the problem?
Can you handle the truth? Clearly, the Education Establishment does not want success in math. So they sabotage it at every opportunity.
New Math, 1964, seems to me to prove this assertion, as explained in…

I think the dumbing down of public schools is the biggest problem we have. This would be easy to fix.
Apparently, our education establishment believes the creed: make them dumb, our time will come.
This decline in general intelligence leads to lots of collateral damage. People hardly have common sense, never…

If schools are run properly, children will be full of confidence and enthusiasm.
If children are morose and failing, you know the people in charge are incompetent.
See Episode 35 on this podcast. Hope versus Hopelessness. It often seems to me that schools are organized to produce hopelessness. That's a terrible thought, isn't…

Ed Establishment worships rote memorization if it suits their social engineering goals. For example, forcing sight-words into the curriculum. One bad idea sustains another bad idea; together you get the crime of the century.
Note that in every other situation, professors of ed endlessly denounce memorization!!!…

The Left likes to vilify colonialism and colonialists, people who take over other people’s territory. But what else is our Education Establishment but modern-day conquistadors? They think they are entitled to rule over our schools.

Illiteracy is still the big problem. The education establishment foisted a phony method on the American public. That would be sight-words, an instructional method that guarantees most kids will never learn to read.

All my life I am primarily a writer. But until a few years ago I would never have thought to recommend my sort of education to anyone else.

But the main activity in a liberal arts education is analysis of text.…
