One was the 1965-1969 Behavioral Science Teacher Education Program and the other was the publication by the governmentof "Pacesetters in Innovation", a 584-page catalogue of behavior modification programs to be used by the schools.<br /><br /> Let me repeat that: a catalogue of behavior modification programs! <br /><br /> in the 1960's "American education would henceforth concern itself with the importance of the group rather than with the importance of the individual." The purpose of education would shift to focuson the studentÕs emotional health, rather than academic learning. <br /><br />"In 1960, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's Convention Against Discrimination was signed in Paris. This convention laid the groundwork for controlof American education, both public and private, by UN agencies and agents."<br /><br />Now connect the dots. In 1960, "Soviet Education Programs: Foundations, Curriculums, Teacher Preparation" was published under the auspices of the US Department of Health, Educationand Welfare. It was the blueprint for the US school-to-work restructuring that would take place and it would rely on the "Pavlovian conditioned reflex theory." The mastermind of mind control and conditioning was a psychologist,Dr. B.F. Skinner who was the guru of the mess that passes for education in America today.<br /><br /> Though hard to believe even now, the US adopted the Soviet Communist approach to education. In 1961, Rep. John M. Ashbrook tried to alert Congress to what was happening. Citing a document published by the Department of Health,Education and Welfare called "A Federal Education Agency for the Future, " he called the new education programs "a blueprint for complete domination and direction of our schools from Washington<br /><br />In 1976, Catherine Barrett,then president of the National Education Association, gave a speech in which she said, "First, we will help all of our people understand that school is a concept and not a place. We will not confuse "schooling" with education. The school will be the community,the community the school." This predates Hillary Clinton's "it takes a village" concept, but it reflects a communist view that all of society must be employed to form the views of students. Individualism is bad. Conforming to the group is good.<br /><br />Barrett went on to say "We will need to recognize that so-called basic skills, which currently represent nearly the total effort in elementary schools, will be taught in one quarter ofthe present school day. The remaining time will be devoted to what is truly fundamental and basic---time for academic inquiry, time for students to develop their own interests, time for a dialogue between students and teachers, more than a dispenser of information,the teacher will be a conveyor of values, a philosopher. Students will learn to write love letters and lab notes."<br /><br />You may want to read this again. The then-head of the NEA was talking about turning the school day into one devoted to just about everything other than the teaching of reading, writingand arithmetic. Teachers were, instead, to become "agents of change."<br /><br />In 1972, Dr. Chester M. Pierce, MD, of Harvard University wrote an article entitled "Becoming Planetary Citizens: A Quest for Meaning" that appeared in the November issue of Childhood Education. Hewas concerned that children, by the age of five, "already have a lot of political attitudes", among which were "a tenacious loyalty to his country and its leader." What he wanted was a child who entered kindergarten "with the same kind of loyalty to theearth as to his homeland."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674024798024821743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740473071023227679.post-22343507554095970662018-10-08T08:44:31.209-04:002018-10-08T08:44:31.209-04:00Good stuff that you have shared here.

Why are you ...Anonymous....what are you afraid of? Why are you hiding behind anonymity? I finished High School in 1962 and dropped out of college twice. At 73, I have lived long enough that I can begin to see trends. I have read notes sent home by my children's teachers; I have corrected them with red ink; I have returned them to the offending teachers. I did not do this to demonstrate superiority. I simply wanted those teachers to know that I was monitoring my children<br />'s progress and that I required the very best from the teaching staff. I have the solution to our decline in education (yes, I have noticed that trend over the past four decades). I suggest we abolish the Department of Education and dismantle that entire machine. The education of our children needs to be managed on a local level by people who can see the forest and the trees. We outspend all other countries on education...most recently $15,000+ per pupil per year. Rather than throwing all those dollars at failed and failing government programs and bureaucracies, I say we should throw all those dollars at teachers. Let's prove we're serious about educating our youth by attracting the best and the brightest to lead in our classrooms. Let's take on the NEA, nose to nose, and start weeding out those teachers who are ill-equipped or poorly motivated to serve our children well. They deserve our very best! End of rant !!!R.

There are commas where they don't belong, misspellings, run-on sentences, misuse of your/you're. One sentence (this one: "I know how we American, except responsibility like out politician do they blame others.") was such a hot mess I have no idea what it was saying. The one thing I'm sure of, however, is that the word was "ACCEPT," not "except." Aside from that, the sentence is still a jumbled mess, as is much of the rest of the treatise from start to finish. If we were to base our opinions solely on this writing, we'd have to come to the conclusion that maybe the educational system wasn't that great to begin with. Maybe we were number one because it was truly terrible elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740473071023227679.post-22572999148552420452014-01-28T02:58:27.939-05:002014-01-28T02:58:27.939-05:00The grammar in this is so utterly horrible it is d...The grammar in this is so utterly horrible it is difficult to read. But the premise is that our education has gone down over the last 30 years when even the cited numbers show they've gone up. We started out as number 1 and actually improved upon our own numbers. The problem is that other countries have found better and more efficient ways and have surpassed that. And I take real exception to the repeated pointing to females. The extremely poor grammar and the overtly misogynistic point of view leave this to simply be the ramblings of an uneducated person with very little point other than to blame women for his own poor writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740473071023227679.post-71624684776079395742013-08-21T18:40:04.126-04:002013-08-21T18:40:04.126-04:00This is the URL www.uk-essay.net/essays of best es...This is the URL <a href="http://www.uk-essay.net/essays" rel="nofollow">www.uk-essay.net/essays</a> of best essay writing services company where you can confidently rely on as they are providing services since many years successfully.<br />Administratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873436997084403912noreply@blogger.com
