History tells us why our schools are a mess

Never forget the ambition and frenzy of the Communist International circa 1930. Lenin and Stalin wanted control of the planet. In some countries, they could aim for a military coup. But in any country, they could try to take over the weak, undefended targets such as the press and education.

 At the same time that the Communists were starving 5+ million people to death in the Ukraine, their sympathizers were discarding phonics and imposing Whole Word in US Schools. Point is, the dysfunction in K-12 today is not an accident. It’s exactly what you would expect if subversives took over. Indeed, this was certified in 1983 when the Nation at Risk report said that our public schools were in effect the act of a hostile enemy nation.

 My reason in saying all this is that people spend a lot of time debating why our schools are a mess. I’m sorry but it’s not a mystery. Please see this new article on American Thinker.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
