Why Education is failing our children

[Salty]

Many like to say that education is failing our children.

In this thread - lets discuss actual facts - not a statement such as "The teachers union is too blame" or "she is teaching only because of the pay and long summer vacations and no weekend work"

Rather - give specific examples of what our schools are doing wrong. This would include not only Public schools, but Christian as well. -- No need to name individual teachers or school. (you might say in "Central New York" or "this middle age male teacher" or ect.

Then for every criticism - indicate what your plan would be to make it better.
All things are on the table - Dress code, courses, length of day and/or year, education level of teachers,
test standards at both local school and State requirements - non-academic school activities, inter-school and intramural sports, requirements to be passed to next grade level ect......

The problem starts before the education system.. people have to have a desire to learn.

The past has demonstrated this- people who did not have a formal education yet learned. People like Machado de Assis , William Blake, Charles Dickens, A.W. Tozer, August Wilson, James Croll, Michael Faraday....to name a few.

Problem? Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams

Solution? Get back to being a “moral and religious people”!!!

Another prime example of how and why it's failing.

Portland teacher says NEA is going to purge all teachers who don’t teach “anti racism”

“A Portland-area teacher likened her colleagues who don’t want to teach “anti-racism” to pedophiles, adding that anyone who doesn’t “evolve” with critical race theory will be fired for doing “racist things” and “abusing” the children.”

Excellent example!
Now, my suggestion is how Christian are willing to run for the School board!
We need to get involved!

School is mentioned only once in Scripture, wherein Paul was "...disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus" (Acts 19:9). In the Greek, Tyrannus is word #5181, and means "a tyrant." The one who ran the school is called 'Tyrannus' or, 'one tyrant.'

Schools are corrupting language by teaching the participants thereof the words of the world, and you wouldn't know what those words meant unless you were learned in their schools. Today's schools are all designed for commercial purposes. There's no need for schools unless you're planning on doing something commercially, because God has given us all of the knowledge in his creation to labour for Him. Besides, the responsibility of raising children lies with the mother and father of that child, and it is unscriptural to place that responsibility upon others, especially Caesar!

Ephesians 6:4, "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

God commands the parents to raise their children, not ungodly strangers in some school run by Caesar. Do schools bring our children up in the fear and admonition of the Lord? On the contrary, they outlaw prayer from its schools, forbid the Ten Commandments from being taught, and in its place teach the false theory of evolution! Schools teach our children that they're beasts, and have evolved from some primordial ooze, to a sub-human creature, into the animal they now are. They are just one of the many kinds of animals inhabiting this little globe called earth. So we shouldn't be surprised when they behave like animals; children killing other children for tennis shoes or jackets, or because they believe they have been somehow wronged by their victims; stealing and killing for all kinds of selfish motivations; or, when these children turn into adults, using whatever means they can find to advance their careers, not caring who they hurt in the process.

It requires a strong, perhaps tyrannical, government to control that kind of a population. Governments are always glad to oblige. Maybe that's why they don't like to see prayer and scripture reading in schools. Maybe that's why they insist that schools teach we are just another animal in the long chain of the evolutionary process. Maybe that's why Human Being is defined as "a monster" and as "resembling a lower animal," and a monster is defined as "a depraved person." Sinners are depraved, not the disciples of Christ. Maybe schools are creating these lawless creatures so that Caesar will acquire jurisdiction over them by teaching them the words of the world instead of the words of Christ?

I think Christians should support an education system that teaches the truth. I know I never heard about the Tulsa Massacre in school. Here is the headline in the Tulsa newspaper the morning after the massacre:
