Three minutes and she said absolutely nothing! Does she know what she is talking about? She said ‘failure to communicate’ several times. Did she suggest a course of action? No, she is just a whiny little annoying blob.
Maybe she just really likes “Cool Hand Luke?”
So, anti-education people are in charge of education. Something seems not quite right about that. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Something is amiss.
Anti-science loon she may be but unfortunately on this question she’s absolutely right. The scientific community didn’t get their act together on this one. The sort of wishy-washy accomodationalism currently pursued by groups like NCSE and AAAS opens the door for the approach now adopted by anti-science politicians. Its pointless to spend all this effort on the wording of a few science standards while ignoring the fact that a significant percentage of science teachers in the state currently believe and teach creationism. Would the best science standards in the world compensate in the event you have a creationist as a biology teacher?
Right, Sigmund. It’s a problem not just in Texas but all over. Would it have hurt the SBOE to say “Hey, before we put all of these science standards together, let’s go after and consult the experts so that we can at least start with good standards.” Apparently, that wasn’t the goal. The goal was to make science education weak so they could justify their standards to conform with the way that science is already taught so that no one would have to move out of their comfort zone.
I have a superficial command of English, but I read a lot and I like science.
¿Do I need any other qualification to be elected to an education board? ¿Who do I have to talk to?
I bet I could do better than most of those yahoos…
For some strange reason I keep thinking of a conversation that I read somewhere…
@7 Dan,
Best.Book.Ever.
That is all
