English too. Not even complicated, but harder and more measurable than teaching ambiguous gender nonsense. The gender nonsense also plays to more government, more teacher union power, and more money for teachers.
Teacher's Unions have NOTHING to do with education, perhaps are completely contrary to it.
I’m curious about the evolution of schools of education. My father, Herbert F. Spitzer, was a faculty member in the school of education at the State University of Iowa in the 1940s and 50s. He also ran the experimental school. The focus was on the most effective ways to teach subject matter: skill subjects such as reading and arithmetic, and especially the social studies —history and geography. The experimental school was closed in 1974, against my father’s advice. The School of Education shifted its focus away from what to teach and how to teach.
In the 1960's, schools were completely different. In K-2, I lived in the city (Detroit area). Girls never wore pants to school and boys had to have dress pants and button up shirts, always tucked in.
When I moved to the country, the kids wore jeans, but boys shirts still had to be tucked in.
Girls in elementary school were never allowed to wear makeup. The principal would wash the makeup off personally if the girl refused to remove it herself. He also had a big paddle that he wasn't afraid to use!
By 1970, everything started changing drastically, and it hasn't slowed! Liberal teachers started teaching about their Liberal views, even making it part of the curriculum. I remember my English teacher making us students read about a child that was neither boy or girl, just a beautiful blend of both who could do everything a boy or girl could do. The teacher made it seeem like it would be the perfect life!
And now, here we are!, with Liberals trying to make children into their perfect little robots! 🤔
It's not binary; either science OR humaniora. Theres a lot of pupil centered learning principles out there, focusing on problem based learning, teaching how to learn through real world problem solution combined w trad. memorization. Common Core is designed to dumb down - thank you BO...
Reading, writing, and math are absolutely necessary for any job, whether you go to college, trade school, or become a cashier at the local grocery store.
They actually have to START teaching math!, and reading, reading comprehension, writing, and maybe even SPEAKING PROPER ENGLISH!

Let's hope today's students won't lean too heavily on the possibility of AI technology, and stop learning and thinking.
They already are.
It would be hard to do math if the brain was damaged by vaccines.

True, those are the very basic skills.
