  1. Only in America would teachers be prosecuted for "racketeering" for administering pedagogically unsound standardized tests to 6-year-old first graders as was this poor innocent woman in this video. Of course the six-graders doodled on their standardized test answer sheets! But these tests sure made the testing companies a lot of $$$$$$ and the politicians too sure got a lot of $$$$$ in campaign donations etc. from the testing companies.

  2. I'm surprised, for this video was originally posted or published on April 18th and that copy, which was 13:04 for length, rather than 12:53 like the video of this page is, well that prior copy is gone, removed. I wonder what the difference is. It would've been good for TRNN to include a brief explanation in the text description for this April 19th replacement.

  3. The public ate the propaganda up.
    They are privatizing every public goods and services. Any that has a government budget must be funneled into corporate pockets.
    Next social security, 401k's, and bank accounts.

  4. People on average take for granted the fact that the 'spread' of education to the masses, not education itself, which began earlier with Alexander the Great, Peloponnesian Wars of Ancient Iran, and what not! But when people actually were able to read a book did not happen at the same time the printing press was invented and that did not happen until the end of the Renaissance. So the rich, kings, queens, monarchies, lords, dynastic families had at least one literate person in their families that could read a book was not a reality until the printing press was invented. Imagine meeting a prince or king who could not read. We assume they were born with that power. So — for all the previous 2ooo years humanity was functionally an illiterate mass of individuals that formed some kind of language in pictograph form or song to express themselves. People used marks for they could not even write their own name. An average 10 year old Victorian girl and boy in the 19th century would read a complete book per week. Alice in Wonderland, Tale of Two Cities, Moby Dick, Journey to the Center of the Earth, compared to an average NYC 21St century teenage would consume a book per year. Russia had no pencil factories to even begin teaching people to be literate for 99% of its population. Lenin called in Armand Hammer the American capitalist to open a pencil factory in Russia.

    Its a regret, that this poor woman and her family fell victim to the incompetence of American administrative bureaucracy which short changes education all the time. School administrators seem to mimic in their own bureaucracy the same hierarchy of law enforcement in how they administer the funds for education, replicate bank culture in how they pay themselves first, and mimic the republican party in setting the rules that children should have no rights in society.

  5. Most teachers just teach what is in the text work book verbatim. If you asked a question about 2 chapters ahead it’s like you’re talking a foreign language. ‘‘Twas ever thus.
