The evidence is irrefutable that people are getting dumber and less mentally stable. This is nowhere clearer than in the #Humanities, supposedly the crown of human self-realization. All I see is participation prizes for pedestrian rehashing, decadent sophistry, or rabid paranoia.

Wir kennen das Lamento und wahrscheinlich hat es eine Tatsachengrundlage. Hier geht die Verbitterung mit dem Verfasser durch. Wir werden nicht weiterkommen, wenn wir nicht darüber sprechen, warum Bildung als Wert nicht mehr verspricht, was sie einst versprach.

If social studies &English courses are not aligned, it’s being done wrong. curriculum should be developed together/overlap. Read, write, discuss books in both classes. Write poetry, essays, research papers together. Students get twice the support - it’s a no brainer for me. #Humanities
