Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money

      Go on… so what’s the right one? I can’t understand why anyone would go to attack others without offering a superior alternative. Like, you may as well just not say anything, then. If you don’t have a better idea, then theirs isn’t worse because you didn’t even provide a rebuttal.

      I’m not even on the side of the person you responded to, but why would you not want to state what would work better? That’s just trolling.

      • The “right one” is to stop treating it as a “single issue” matter and dismissing literally decades of education research.

        Maybe go read a modern textbook on education and see what issues there are, what the research on the subject says, and derive from that some conclusions about any “single issue” approach to education (whether it’s “TEHY JUST NEED MORE JEEBUS!” or “we should throw everything out and replace it with reading”).

        So the “right one” is to shut the fuck up if you think there’s a one-size-fits-all approach to education. Kind of like if you think there’s a one-size-fits-all approach to anything. Even carpentry.

          But you’re not offering even any example of possible models so how can anyone take your position seriously if you refuse to share more of your stance when asked? Lack of transparency is not cool, as well as assuming; I never once said one-size-fits-all.

          • I gave you an example of a possible model.

            READ A BOOK BEFORE OPENING YOUR MOUTH AND SPEWING DRIVEL.

            I’m not here to give you an Education 101 course. (Frankly, given your performance here thus far, I’m not even certain you could understand the contents of such a course.)

            And if “throw everything way but this one thing” isn’t “one size fits all” what is it!? You’re literally saying "everything being done now is wrong and we should do this ONE THING for everyone. That’s practically the definition of “one size fits all”!

            I get it. You’re a techie and have been trained by techie culture to think (or at least pretend) you’re the smartest person in the room. But to first causally dismiss literally decades of research to then propose a “solution” that is risible on the face of it goes well past typical techie arrogance and into Elon Musk territory.
