CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Millennial Mom Opts Out Of Homework All Year
She wrote the teacher a letter and informed her they were taking the year off from homework and hoped she’d be okay with it. Who does that??? The mom is in the first portion and the remainder discusses student performance and the numbers are bad and the comments are worse. We’re in trouble.
She could go for home schooling and raise the bar for her kids.

She felt it was too much and decided they’d skip it instead. The comments includes parents and educators recounting similar experiences. That’s why they’re sounding the alarm because they’re behind and the gap is increasing. We see similar trends in adult literacy.

Dumbing down is real. Curriculums aren’t as rigorous, parents are less involved, teachers are quitting in droves and students can’t do the work. There’s a correlation with technology and attention spans are getting shorter every year. Ai will make things worse. Some are pushing against the trend through intentional learning like I shared the other day. They were concerned about brain rot and doom scrolling is common.
I prefer to educate children at home. That’s not a knock against schools but they’ll learn more in that environment and the curriculum can be Christ centered. Something along these lines with tweaks of course. Classical Christian education is rising in popularity.
What's on your mind? Friendship Court edition.
Regular family time? Eating dinner together? No, sorry, that's not the answer. I've already given a hint somewhere in this subforum.
