» Ok Class, Now It’s Time for Our Lesson… in Arabic The Loft
I’m having some trouble here. Back when students had a more strict environment and focused on subjects such as reading, writing, and arithmetic, those students were the envy of the world. Then, decades of liberal experimentation in the classroom led to ever decreasing test scores and falling ranks among the world’s industrialized nations. Now, a school district in Texas wants to alter their entire curriculum to embed elements of the Arabic language and culture throughout, and its all part of a federal grant. Have we really lost our grip with reality? I want my kids to be able to do math, read, and write. Is that too much to ask?
As you’ll see from this report, the school district in question is doing a quick “oops” and backpedaling on their program. But thats not even the point. The point is that the program was considered in the first place.
