Educational updates in the United States continue.
In the past few years, the classroom has taken a different approach from the past.
Judging from a series of headlines, schools are increasingly abandoning the dissemination of knowledge and the improvement of skills, and instead support the cultivation of good citizens—that is, adhere to their preferred worldview.
If you doubt the powerful remakes that are emerging, consider the old-fashioned 3 R-reading, writing, and “arithmetic.”
exist Oregon, Those things have already encountered the fourth R: abolition.
According to reports New York PostIn June, Democratic Gov. Kate Brown signed a piece of legislation that “has almost no fanfare”.
[Senate Bill 744] Cancel the requirement for high school students to prove proficiency in reading, writing or mathematics before graduation…
As for the fanfare, Oregonian It was noted that Kate-through a spokesperson-“friday again declined to comment on the law and why she supported the suspension of proficiency requirements.”
It is worth noting that when signing the measure, the governor did not hold any ceremony. No press release issue.
Although the bill was signed on July 14, it was not added to Oregon’s database until the 29th- Allegedly, Due to technical failure.
The new law is stepwise.
For a long time, the United States celebrated achievement-this country is a symbol of freedom, which is an incredible achievement in itself.
In the face of a brutal government, brave men and women crossed the treacherous sea, arrived in a foreign country, and fought fierce wars in order to gain independence.
Just in the last century, a generation has overcome such a huge challenge, they are considered to be “the greatest. “
Today, the idea of overcoming is not so popular.
Several headings mentioned above:
From the above two points: 1) ideology is the key, 2) successful attempts-for many people-are futile.
Back to the academia in Oregon, if you can’t prove that you can read, write or do mathematics-in Freshman to sophomore Level-you can still graduate.
Or to put it another way:
If you cannot fully read, write or do math, you can still graduate.
It seems impossible for anyone to reach 12th grade and fall behind; on the other hand, if they are not, they will not give up their requirements.
To be sure, not all Oregon lawmakers consider SB744 to be sensational.
Some Republicans assertion It lowers expectations of children.
Even so, as pointed out postal:
Charles Boyle, Deputy Director of Communications in Brown’s office, said the new graduation criteria will help the state’s “black, Latino, Latino, Aboriginal, Asian, Pacific Islander, tribal, and colored students “Benefit.
The bill may continue to be in force for five years.
The old request made in 2009 was Suspended Due to the epidemic.
So gradually, this is where we are: if someone does not meet the standard, the standard will fall on them.
Will this strategy lead us to a higher national height?
I would say that there is at least one healthy chance.
