I'd love that, too. But until then teaching kids nothing is going to make them even more endangered within the prevalent system that they're going to be forced into as imminent adults.
As some have already said, it's less easy to propagandize some essential classes such as math, and throwing out the whole thing for performative "propaganda free" purity reasons isn't doing the students any favors.
No. I already said they shouldn't.
That does happen and it is terrible and it has contributed significantly to my own decision to leave the profession. Again, once again, my point is that doesn't mean that teaching itself or the public school system should as a whole be abandoned or abolished. It is in dire need of improvement and restoration, even if that currently seems out of reach.
Saying "it's all propaganda" sounded to me like a defeatist condemnation of public schools in general.
Yeah, I think it's a difference of interpretation.
It's all good, comrade.
