Couldn't Watch - - My Daughter is a 6th grade math teacher in a STEM program
Effin left-wing socialists have taken over the education system.
Children can never be told they're wrong, even when they're wrong.
China will win, we will be reduced to less than a 3rd world country.
Kiss it goodbye.
We pay teachers to let students tell the teachers what the students will learn.China and India will win.
I am going to forward the link to my oldest son and my daughter. They both substitute teach - her while waiting to start Med School this summer and him as a part time thing between the Army Reserve and his new degree program at George Town.
I did 34 years in the classroom. This thing cracked me up.

Welcome to public (government) education.
Makes me happy To know the children are getting a quality education.
Is anyone esle happy death will catch up before it gets worse than this? It is sad to see what a once great country can come to. I blame the damn hippies.

Sorry but I disagree...President Trump is giving our country one last chance to reverse our disastrous socialistic downward spiral to oblivion that socialists (or communists if you will...same thing) have put us on. We thank God for a really great President. I do blame the socialists...entirely.
That is all I have to say as I do not want to create a political discussion here with no end in sight. We merely have different beliefs, carry on.
I watched this and thought it was so good I would send it on to several friends. Then I got depressed and thought that it was so accurate I couldn't stand depressing others so haven't.
With Trump plus this type of educational attitude I though that it is only a matter of time before China, anyway, streaks ahead of the US.
Not sure how you can, once again, blame Trump. I was a high school principal for 40 years and saw this coming well before Trump. American education is based on compliance and control. Lip service is given to "critical thinking", but critical thinking is the Government's worst enemy.
It does not matter who the President is or who operates the educational system, we have been doomed from the start. The system has created mindless, robotic people focused on themselves having a "lazy" approach to learning. This results in people having opinions about concepts they know nothing about. Further, people are told these opinions matter which insures this type of behavior will dominate the thinking in our society.
Trump? No way.... We have done it to ourselves!

Thanks for sharing this. I am a retired teacher and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I find it interesting that so many people blame Trump when all of the decline in education, military, and everything else began under Kennedy, Johnson and then reasserted itself under Clinton (between his bouts with Monika) and Peanut Brain... then we got Obama.... (amazing how Hawaii suddenly found a missing birth certificate that wasn't on any records). So How long did Obama complain about North Korea before Trump started playing hard ball?
really good. It should be played in every school and at every PTA meeting. It just might wake up some people but I doubt it
