Teachers go to the ‘dumbest colleges’ — who said it and why it matters

[BidenPresident]

Larry Arnn is president of a small but influential Christian college in Michigan who has become a key education adviser to Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R). Last week, at an invitation-only reception, Arnn repeatedly denigrated teachers, saying, among other things that they “are trained in the dumbest parts of the dumbest colleges in the country,” and that “anyone” can teach. Lee offered no pushback. WTVF NewsChannel5 in Nashville obtained video of the event, and now both men have come under criticism.

In Florida, where Hillsdale has helped opening a growing network of affiliated charter schools, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has welcomed Arnn, and Arnn, in February, called DeSantis “one of the most important people living,” the Tampa Bay Times reported. Hillsdale helped create new K-12 civic standards for Florida public schools and is partnering with the state’s Department of Education to help train teachers on those new standards. Some teachers who underwent the training told the Miami Herald that Christian and conservative ideology ran throughout the material.

I had a prof that said that.

What's up with the upside-down strange-looking lizards? How does the physics of that work? It's like they live their lives upside down.

That was before the classic liberal education system was designed. It was designed during the Enlightenment period.

Dumb right wingers bashing education.

You should read The New England Primer sometime. Something tells me you don't know what that is or have a copy.

the lack of quality in the training of our teachers.........seriously......have you seen what today's teachers think is the most important thing to teach children?......it certainly isn't "reading, writing, and arithmatic"........today it seems to be "raise up a child in the way the world is fucked up and when he is an adult he will fuck it up".......

Not much in there on actually teaching kids anything useful now, is there?

 

[Flash]

Hillsdale College sees a way to make a bundle of money from the taxpayers with no real accountability for the operation, standards, or learning of those schools. Too many charter schools go under but cannot account how they spent most of their money.
