Tucker Carlson: Kids Cheating-Civil Right?
Well, this is a sore spot with me. Throughout my life I have had major trouble with public schools, and even colleges. I’m not sure when our educational system stopped teaching kids the basics, but today, our kids go to college and most of them can’t even read or write, let alone do simple math. Computers have taken over teachers jobs, and the teachers? What do they do? Not much it seems, the good ones manage to figure out how to get by the systems, but not many do.
So Elon Musk and the President are going to try to break that union of stagnation and put the parents back in charge of their kids education.
This week, from the Oval office, President Trump stated that while America spends more money than any other country, we are dead last in the world when it comes to reading, writing, and math. Is it any wonder that the majority of people are so dumb as to what is happening right in front of them?
So, President Trump wants to get rid of the Department of Education. More money goes to the bloated administrations than to the students. And school boards? Don’t get me started.
D.O.G.E got rid of scores of other major research undertakings, and they were scrapped seemingly overnight. What Works Clearinghouse, a project that has helped school administrators and educators make decisions for years, was nixed. The School Pulse Panel, which began surveying public K-12 schools on education-related topics during the 2021-2022 school year, was also wiped out.
Today I was reading an old copy of Readers Digest, July, 2002, the article was called Reading, Cheating, and ‘Rithmetic. And this was scary. It was written by none other than Tucker Carlson. He reported that in a high school in Piper, Kan. a biology teachers found that 28 final papers out of 118 had been plagiarized. She flunked them. The parents complained, but the parents won. Another study by a Rutgers univerrsity professors found that more than 75 percent of students cheat. The internet has made it easy to cheat, and there are websites for the teachers to check for those plagiarized papers. In the end of the article nobody, professors or teachers wanted to make a big deal out of it, in fact, they didn’t want to “hurt” the student’s feelings, and cheating just might become the next civil right. Remember, this was happening in all schools 23 years ago. Just imagine, with the new A.I. coming up that can write any paper, find any answer, know more than the human mind, what is that going to do to the students of the future?
Will humans only have to know HOW to press a few clicks and get a paper written? Will they even have to understand it? It worries me. How can you advance and create if you don’t even have to learn how to add or subtract, or read more than a few lines on a cell phone?
Somebody tell me. Elon Musk invented a school for his own kids. I bet they had to learn the basics. So, what happens in the future with A.I. and our schools? Now, a lot of our teachers don’t even know the basics of their own subjects. You can put the work back into the states, but there is still politics at the board levels.
Education is the most important food for our future, and something tells me, putting it back to the states is just one step towards a well educated population, and another reason why A.I. MUST be controlled and not let run wild.
We’ve all seen the black George Washington generated by an A.I. Let’s hope Elon can get his A.I. Grok 3 up and running and then somehow make sure kids really learn from life also…how to solve problems without A.I.
Thomas Edison said the brain was like any muscle. You had to keep using it, or you lose it. What if everyone becomes so dependent on A.I. that thinking is no longer done?
Let’s not let A.I. take over the most important muscle we have. Let’s make sure our children learn how think. We have a long road to go to get our kids back on track. I don’t know, maybe I’m paranoid, but kids of America are FAR behind other nations, and their parents know it. I truly hope this first step, putting the states back in charge, is the first step toward a better American future.
Because only in freedom and liberty can great ideas of the future florish. We now are seeing the years of dumbed down education, and all the clueless young kids who have no clue what a democracy is. Let’s not give up on the Human brain …just yet. We still have stardust in our bones…and until A.I. can FEEL emotions, we have an advantage. Or…mmm…do we? somebody ask Grok. Maybe not.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
