Let's Fix Education / by Bruce Deitrick Price

K-12 Boycott: Are You Ready?  (Wednesday, April 17, 2024)K-12 is too often a bad marriage. The Education Establishment is the alcoholic husband (photo) who beats his long-suffering wife.All the progressive/socialist/communist schemes are dedicated to the idea of using schools to indoctrinate young minds. Real education is about freeing minds. Take that, John Dewey.(For ideas, search “homeschool options.” You'll be amazed at the range of possibilities.)(((Alex Newman in Newsweek: "While Americans once argued about how best to fix the system, today's discussions—especially among conservatives and Christians—often revolve around finding the fastest way to get children out. Almost two-thirds of Americans are dissatisfied with the quality of public education. Even liberals are rapidly losing trust in the schools.")))-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Podcasts are presented as voice and print  (i.e., TRANSCRIPT)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here are two ways to help…Visit  Education Reform  for a 2-page explanation of what we can do.When you need a smart gift, give Saving K-12 .-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Word-Wise Education757-455-5020Bruce Deitrick Price----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bio: Bruce Deitrick Price is a novelist, artist, poet, and education reformer.

Episode 145:  Survey Courses? Yes, We Desperately Need Them.   (Wed. April 10, 2024)Our schools have often given up the very idea of teaching lots of stuff, and even if they  try, they have no idea how to do it. Train the teachers better and then let them loose.Survey courses can be a great help, but skip the politicking. Left-wing professors think the whole point of education is to indoctrinate kids. What a selfish idea.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Podcasts are presented as voice and print  (i.e., TRANSCRIPT)3 helpful links, see Transcript--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here are two ways to help K-12…Visit  Education Reform  for a 2-page explanation of what we can do.When you need a smart gift, give Saving K-12 .-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Word-Wise Education757-455-5020Bruce Deitrick Price----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bio: Bruce Deitrick Price is a novelist, artist, poet, and education reformer.

Episode 144:     Best Practice:  Teach Items In Clusters        (Wed., April 3, 2024) If we want to save the schools, we have to teach more information, more quickly.We have to find techniques that will make it easy for students to remember stuff.One of the easiest and most essential methods is using clusters, that is several things united by their similarities.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Podcasts are presented as voice and print  (i.e., TRANSCRIPT)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here are two ways to help…Visit  Education Reform  for a 2-page explanation of what we can do.When you need a smart gift, give Saving K-12 .-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Word-Wise Education757-455-5020Bruce Deitrick Price----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bio: Bruce Deitrick Price is a novelist, artist, poet, and education reformer.

70 Years Ago, Schools Were Already Warped  (Wed., March 27, 2024)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Joan Dunn, a schoolteacher, wrote a book about her experiences in Brooklyn schools circa 1953. It is a time capsule, showing that quite long ago the professors of education had substantially wrecked everything they touched.I love this book. It’s a grand statement by a very smart sensitive person. Joan Dunn’s description of public schools appeared 70 years ago but already the public schools were a disaster, a crime scene, an intellectual slum. (Book's full title is Retreat From Learning: Why Teachers Can't Teach.

Episode 138: Traditional Education is what we need now  (Wed., Feb. 21, 2024)Watching progressives wreck education is a kind of sport. Maybe some of you think it's fun. I remind you it's tremendously expensive. And your kids will be almost as dumb  five years from now as they are today.Socialists and Communists always want to dumb down the people. The basic plan is, keep the public dumb and our time will come.By my tally, there are virtually no good ideas left in our public schools. All the good ideas from traditional education have been replaced by nonsense that professors at Harvard dare to call “progressive.” In reality, it's regressive/repressive.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Podcasts are presented as voice and print  (i.e. TRANSCRIPT)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------There are two ways to help my reform efforts….Give Saving K-12 when you need a smart gift….Visit Support Education Reform for a 2-page explanation.Main goal is to help Americans understand what happened to the schools and how we fix them.  Please pass this on to parents and community leaders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Word-Wise Education757-455-5020Bruce Deitrick Price-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.........- LET'S FIX EDUCATION:  OVERVIEW Recurring themes.
