Which classes are getting cut in order to teach the "stupid" people. Are we getting rid of Calc or college-level classes? What goes first because schools aren't getting more money, or in order to add these things, something has to go. What will it be? Sports? Activities?
Where does this notion of life skills end? If students are "pretty dumb", are teachers going to be teaching how to brush teeth or put on socks? Is there an end in sight if schools much teach all life skills. Also, when does it come down to the person learning how to do something on their own?
You bring up a good point, AI has brought a lot to our community. In your ideal future, are we also replacing doctors with technology? Where does this end because to learn most things, it required education. Is everything supposed to be self-driven learning? Who grades? It is going to be self-graded as well? If so, will be have lawyers who passed the bar because "they deserve it"?
So, it's the school's problem when parents don't parent? Where does it end then? What "life lessons" are the most important to learn? Who is the arbiter of that? Is this supposed to be in a regular class, or is the school supposed to pay more money?
Failing as a parent is one thing but expecting the school to go beyond teaching equations and grammar is another. Putting life applicable lessons together is something all teachers should strive for. Students won't remember the color of the light at the end of Gatsby's dock if they don't connect it to something bigger.
Yes, you can take classes from your home, but you can also cheat at home too. How do you know who is doing what? Zoom was useful when people couldn't get together. If people can be together, why do we need it now? Also, if technology is better than the classroom, what is the need for school?
Don't people stare at screens for their jobs? So, are you arguing that air traffic controllers are slowing down in their abilities to do their job because they are staring at screens? What common sense does the internet slow down? Doesn't it teach you to search and find rather than just be a memorization machine?
What technology do you mean? A hundred years ago the pencil was technology. Shouldn't the teachers be creating their own assignments that don't allow students to cheat? What are teachers teaching if their students can just find everything online.
It's a piece of fabric. You cannot tell people how to view a piece of cloth. Symbolically it can represent that to certain people, but for many people the American flag is a symbol of oppression. SO, if it is that for many people, shouldn't more people be burning it?
People have the right to say what they want. They don't have to say "under God". Just because we have turned into a sensitive country where people don't want to hear what they don't like, it doesn't mean that we have to change everything. What happens when people don't like the word America in the pledge, should we take that out too?
Churches have so much money that if they started to pay taxes, it would do more good than if they kept the money in their own coffers. This money allowed the catholic church to pay off people when priests were accused of sexual molestation, which kept it going on for decades.
This is much bigger than the flu shot. People are spreading lies about autism and vaccines. People need to think about more than themselves when they are considering vaccinating. That's what happened in the 50s, which is why no one is in a wheelchair due to polio.
Choices are a great thing. What if I don't have the choice to get a vaccine? Some people are allergic to it, and if you don't want it put in your body and you get an illness, you give it to me. Why should I have to pay for another's selfishness?
So, you think that a side effect is a bigger reason that the eradication of an entire disease? If President Roosevelt could have stood up and said, "Please give me a vaccine for polio. I don't want to be in this wheel chair," I bet he would have.
So it is okay to skip something because it is time consuming? I guess we should just get rid of school. It is really hard to make sure students attend class. School isn't always helpful to everyone. I think we should just stop educating our children and let them run around in the grass.
The odds are also low that you will get hit by a car, but you don't walk down the middle of the street, do you? You do things to avoid dangers. You don't run head first toward the thing that might kill you because it may cause some irritation.
Yes, vaccines have "cured" those things, but we are no vaccinating for everything. They are making parents feel like horrible creatures for questioning one of the biggest corporations in the world. They are in this to make money. I want actual proof that all the other vaccines are doing more than lining the pockets of Big Pharma.
So, I should be okay with the insurance paying the whole cost to cause illness and problems in my child's life? No thank you. I would rather have to pay to keep these harmful products out of my child's life. Why should the government get to decide how I raise my kid?
There are proven side effects to vaccinations. Who is going to pay for the funeral of my children when he or she dies from these unproven "medications". Big Phrama has doctors in their pockets, and there are too many vaccines out there. I don't want my child to be a pin cushion.
