One word. Two different worlds. No wonder so little genuine communication--or progress--occurs in education...
I had been writing about education for more than 20 years when I finally realized the divide Dexter Lawrence Giants Jersey , the scam, the silent sophistry, call it what you will, that renders so many discussions about education close to pointless.
When most people say the word "education," they mean something very specific, and almost everyone knows exactly what it is: reading, writing, arithmetic Daniel Jones Giants Jersey , geography, to be followed by history, science, literature, and the arts.
Now, if everyone in the discussion has this meaning in mind, they might build better schools together.
Unfortunately, the people who control public education and shape most of the debate have another meaning in their minds Dalvin Tomlinson Giants Jersey , and they know exactly what it is: social engineering, indoctrination, political correctness, and left-wing politics.
Now you see the problem and the point at which the game begins. Parents want one thing, i.e., Education! The Education Establishment wants to provide something else entirely, i.e., Education!
In truth Evan Engram Giants Jersey , almost no genuine communication or negotiations can occur. The parents don't know this. But the Education Establishment knows it very well, and must try to seduce and sedate the public without any intention of revealing what is really going on or what the stakes are.
Throughout the 20th century, the definitive rule that philosophers insisted on was: define your terms. But somehow in the perverse province of education, virtually nobody was encouraged to define their terms. So what we seem to have had was millions of words exchanged in a sort of semantic whiteout. Language and logic were soft and shapeless. As a result, the Education Establishment could promise to deliver what the public wanted, without ever intending to deliver it.
Parents heard all this high-minded talk about Education with a capital E, the worth of Education, the glory of Education Saquon Barkley Giants Jersey , the urgent need to spend untold billions on Education. Who could guess that all this pretty verbiage was actually saying: we would like to control your children and make them behave as we think best; that's what we mean by "education."
It's only when you finally grasp that the Education Establishment lives in an alternative universe, both verbally and philosophically, indeed, a generally hostile universe, that all their counter-productive strategies and bad results begin to make a strange kind of sense.
Make a list of the pedagogical fads of the 20th century. This list will run to more than 50 items, for example, Constructivism, Multiculturalism Lawrence Taylor Giants Jersey , Bilingual Education, Open Classroom, Self-Esteem, Child Centered Education, etc., cally, each of these ideas is vigorously praised and promoted for a number of years; and then discovered to be a failure. The key point is, they were not intended to teach a particular subject Eli Manning Giants Jersey , i.e., the service that parents wanted. Instead, they were designed more as marketing ploys, as Bold New Ideas, that the public would find appealing (compare today's 21st Century Skills). But the closer we look at the actual results, the more it's clear that each one was, all along, a device Odell Beckham Jr Youth Jersey , a strategy, that serves the wrong kind of "education."
There is the crux of the matter. These methods and gimmicks do "good" only in that alternative universe focused on indoctrination and political correctness. They are not designed to do good in the world that most people live in.聽
Here's a way to rephrase all of this: the Education Establishment set up an elaborate and pretentious machinery to provide a range of products and services that the public never asked for. If you wish to improve the public schools, first, disable or ignore this machinery. Second, stand firmly in the semantic divide and tell these people: don't talk about "education" because for you this is just a propaganda term, a cover-up word. Instead, tell us what you are going to do specifically about reading, writing Darius Slayton Youth Jersey , arithmetic, geography, history, science, literature, and the arts.
(For examples of what has been accomplished behind this semantic smokescreen, see "46: Public Schools Seem To Be Designed To Fail" on .)Like with anything in life that requires a great deal of effort there will almost always be a process that one must follow in order to insure things are done completely and accurately. Body shop repair is no exception. From the initial accident to the insurance claim and estimates through the final repair and completion there are an enormous number of items that need to be addressed. Here is a quick overview Julian Love Youth Jersey , from the management of Northgate Ford, of the steps which may make your life easier when the time comes to get your vehicle repaired:
Step 1. Getting an Estimate In most larger body shops that are better equipped to handle repairs better, in order to provide the most accurate estimate possible, the collision estimator will enter all the information about the repair into a computerized estimating system. A report is then generated outlining the work that will need to be done along with the costs involved.
Step 2. Getting Insurance Approval Once an estimate has been obtained from a reputable collision repair shop, a representative from the insurance company may want to inspect the vehicle and prepare their own estimate for comparisons. Before the repair process can begin, in most cases the body shop must work with the insurance company to make sure the figures on the body shop estimate is in line with the figure from the insurance company as well as with the repair procedures needed to fix any damage. Because of this step, it is not uncommon for an insurance company to evaluate as a total loss so no repairs will be needed.
