Oh yeah I agree with you 100% just saying I went to a public school and I’m the farthest thing from a leftist.

Well no certain way is actually by complete definition "good" one is Misogynistic, one is fascistic, and one is really a sarcastic slow burn kind of insult, but anyways, yeah they were using the fascistic term.

The curriculum mainly, so many things i learn rn are essentially useless to me

I mean, by virtue of what it is, the curriculum kinda needs to be rather broad and diverse
Sure, I want to specialize in certain things, but you still need to build a foundation to make a well rounded person

Ciroi is glad that they can help.

idk if learning how to graph quadratic equations and figuring out how to solve them really builds a well rounded person, there's so much more that we could devote time to besides stuff like that.

True enough, but that’s really more the domain of something like “home economics”
I’m sure their are plenty of people out there who enjoy math and doing those kind of things

Ohh! I love the new proposal in the World Assembly.

of course it should be an option but the fact that my school forces me into 6 math courses in 3 years is kinda ridiculous

You think that, but it's designed to ensure that everyone has at least a working knowledge in a variety of fields.

i can get where you're coming from to a point. Because some things are unnecessarily advanced and needed to know them really doesn't benefit me in any way. and i'd argue that most classes are specilized towards one career not even giving you knowledge in a variety of fields but making you focus on one thing

I don't know if you're a teacher or not, but have you seen what these college students are reading? Karl Marx! Look it up. Students are reading Karl Marx's communist manifesto. Look it up and tell me that colleges aren't brainwashing innocent students to become communists and socialists. Over 3,000 college campuses are introducing that cursed book into their syllabus. They say it's to help understand "social theory" but that's a load of crap. There's no social theory in the manifesto. It complains about how capitalism and feudalism plagues the world.

Yes. I am a teacher.
I'm a history teacher, specifically. And I studied history in Canada! Which right wing loons in the US think is a socialist wasteland.

And you know what I was taught in "socialist" Canada in my publicly funded university? I was taught how the left wing of the Labour Party nearly destroyed Great Britain during the 1970s and how Margret Thatcher was a G-dsend. That lesson's slide was titled, by the way, "Looney Leftists."

So why don't you take your crackpot theories about "indoctrination" back to /pol or InfoWars or Parler. If I was indoctrinated into anyting it was bland, middle of the road Candian Toryism. Which I will proudly rep any time.

Not exactly a centre for left wing indoctrination though.

Woah. Schools want students to learn about different economic views???!! Must be brainwashing!

Orpzis wrote:Woah. Schools want students to learn about different economic views???!! Must be brainwashing!

Exactly. I had to read Marx in uni. I also had to read Adam Smith and Edmund Burke. And Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. And a whole bunch of other philosophers or theorists! It's not indoctrination, it's making sure students read a wide range of views and theories so they become well read.
Having to read Marx didn't make me a Marxist, it merely informed me as to what Marx believed/advocated. Which is useful information to have. It's called an education for a reason, after all. Knowing things is, broadly, good.

Hell, I had to read Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli in my classes on the Protestant Reformation. It wasn't them trying to make me a Protestant, it was to make sure I understood the ideological context of one of the greatest religious upheavals in history.
