The Washington House Education Committee can't be serious - can it?

The Shark Blog has a post entitled "Shark Blog: Democrat Expectations" that, in part, says the way to guarantee that students attain high achievement in public schools is

Serious attention must be given to creating learning environments that are intolerant of racism and exclusion and in which high expectations are held for all students; curriculum and teaching practices must recognize differences in ethnicity, language, and culture and teachers must be skilled in teaching students unlike themselves; and in order to close the achievement gap, there must be understanding of the impact of language, culture, race, and poverty on student achievement.

Whatever ever happened to the concept of "teaching" in like, "teaching" -
1. To impart knowledge or skill to: teaches children.
2. To provide knowledge of; instruct in: teaches French

If boot camp operated the way the Washington House Education Committee wants public schools to operate, we'd never win any wars.

NOTE: I've got better things to do than erase the childish, immature, psychotic, obscene comments from looney Roger Weidner and his gang of illiterate morons, so just put your opinions at the Johnhays.net Forum.
