Social Engineering In Education

Head line from the Green Bay Press Seems there is some social engineering going on at the Pulaski Wis. School District. From the school that had a streaker run across the football field.

Gender-specific classes at Pulaski Middle School help students thrive

PULASKI — When sixth-graders settle into Laurie Przybylski-LaMere's reading class at Pulaski Middle School, educators hope they won't worry about saying something stupid or asking a dumb question.

I thought there was no such thing as a stupid question? Isn't that a part of education?

The class is made up only of boys, and they aren't worried about impressing the fairer sex.

Where's the ACLU?

Participation this year was voluntary.

Catch that, "this year was voluntary", will next year be mandatory?

Sixth-graders in the program are divided by gender for their main classes: math, science, reading, social studies and language arts. Teachers say boys and girls learn differently, and separating classes allows them to focus on the best teaching methods. The preteens also aren't distracted by the opposite sex.

Research shows numerous differences between the sexes when it comes to learning.

Boys are more likely to be considered learning disabled or having attention deficit disorder, Przybylski-LaMere said.

Stupid male pigs, always sex on their minds in sixth grade. Does that mean most male students should be in special education?

Nationally, women receive more than half of bachelor's degrees in college.

Naturally.

"Parents were nervous until they understood what it looked like," Worden said. "The kids were so excited about learning. They could focus.

"Students feel really empowered."

Empowered, yea, "POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

This may be a well thought program for students to learn. I just question the union teachers engineering the thoughts and minds of our children in our education process.

One example, were there not a lot of schools who made it mandatory to show students Al Gores movie "Inconvenient Truth" about global warming? Today separate classes, tomorrow.........

Again, If this is a good thing in education, go forward with it. If it's so successful, why not separate schools for boys and girls. Why not for all students K-4 through 12? Or is there a hidden agenda by the union teachers? Is this program costing the Pulaski tax payers more for extra teachers? The school system in Pulaski is jam packed with left leaning educators and school board members.

Just go to their school board meetings. Look at the spending the tax payers have to fork over. In school health club, paid teachers in day care centers in Pulaski teaching the youngest of children, Out of control spending by the superintendent. With the bad economy the past couple years, you never read the teachers union take a pay freeze or benefit reduction like the rest of the country is going through.

I am sorry for being so cynical but when I read the last paragraph, I just have to question the motive? The teacher, Laurie Przybylski-LaMere (name with a hyphen) made the following comment,

"But what we've seen is they've become almost like a community. They help each other out. They're still competitive, but it's a lot different than when girls are in the room."

Catch that word,

COMMUNITY!

Where are they really going with this? That's just my thoughts.
