Florida mother has to prove her dying son can't take a standardized test

[Demeter]

1. Because the factory model of education has taken pernicious root in this nation

All children are widgets, interchangeable, all to be subjected to the same standards of QC, and all to be rejected as "imperfect" in the end.

It's so totally ass-backwards, and the teachers complied, the parents didn't protest, the principals didn't kick up a fuss, and their unions didn't fight. And here we are.


Sometimes I think it would be a great blessing to get government out of the schools entirely....attach an equal number of dollars to each child eligible, and let them congregate as they will. If a facility goes in for the different style of student, attach an additional amount per institution and per child attending.

But that would be life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! That would be change and chaos!

That would actually work to educate each child to the fullest extent possible, and that would be the goal.

Not to turn out identical flawed widgets, suitable for cannon fodder, slave labor, and fascism.
