Scrutiny Surrounds New Executive Order on Education: Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling

In a bold move that has ignited controversy across the educational landscape, President [Name] has issued an Executive Order titled “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling,” aiming to reshape the content taught in America’s classrooms. The order, announced on January 29, 2025, reflects a concerted effort to address growing concerns over educational practices that some argue undermine…

The education gap is very clear and I don’t mean this in a condescending way.

Everytime someone gets on my nerves or even slightly looks at me funny I kind of. Grind my jaw aggressively. Slowly. Irritably. And it clicks.

If these shitheads keep it up my teeth are going to turn into a fine powder.

Math teacher anon: what that's crazy! Because I too am sped but do math, I just say I'm a math teacher bc it's quicker

AKEJSDNFKSDJNF THAT'S CRAZY

I currently do a lot of Algebra 1 support because the Freshmen need a lot of help adjusting to high school math. The middle school curriculum in my district is....lacking, to say the least. I know a lot of other districts are in the same situation as us right now. Not the teacher's fault, ofc, it's a top-down decision. But it does mean that my students are coming in not knowing anything, like even basic stuff like "what's 2 * 3" or "solve x - 5 = 10" which has been a fun challenge! But they seem to be getting the hang of it now. Though, fractions still trip them up, but I'm trying my best to build their confidence with it!

I will give them a LOT of credit for much of their overall attitude, too. We've had some very frank class discussions about how behind they are in math because of the way everything is currently set up with the whole national grade inflation issue, and they've really taken it well. Most of my students (both gen ed and IEP/504) are very motivated to catch up, even if it's hard. Though, ofc, people all have their off days! But most of my students reallyyy are trying. I give them a TON of credit for that. They're basically learning multiple years of math at once. That's very tough!

[likesplatterpaint]

Lately I am in such an incredibly back and forth flux of

I am so under valued and unappreciated

And

LOL you and your art/designs aren’t special or even good get real. Absolutely 0 companies are noticing you let alone want you.

Had a genuinely lovely day collaborating with the rest of the fine art team- my people through and through. If this was work all the time, I wouldn’t dream of leaving. But it’s not. It’s once in a blue moon.

I’m not even sure I should leave. I got it in my head that I want to. But do I really want to upend the steadfast security of this job? A place where my peers know and respect me? Nobody questions me but higher ups ignore my attempts to change things that need changing.

Though to be real, the county over is at a budget deficit and attempting to furlough teachers. So. That’s no fun.

I’m really good at this job- why do they have to keep making it harder and more stressful despite me pointing out ways to NOT DO THAT

For me OR the kids for fucks sake!

Everyone at my school is teaching way more courses than is historically normal and I just feel like this is the beginning of a slippery slope

But it’s also a slope I’m familiar with, at least?

It’s extremely hard to fire me, ten years in with tenure and a good reputation. But how much more bullshit is going to be shoved our way? I have two kids with major medical concerns this round and god knows that’ll be great for what is likely CPTSD from mom being chronically and unstably ill all of my life.

Ahhhhh?????????!!!!!

class 10 2023-24 boards batch wya? :')

(no seriously though I could see a lot of posts with people preparing and panicking last year this year NOTHING?? are people actually carefully studying instead of posting online or does our batch just not care I need to know)

[esleep]

it makes me sad how often textile arts are ignored as actual art forms, and are relegated to the disregarded realm of 'old lady hobbies'. there is so much skill involved, such a broad diversity of forms, but so many people straight up do not think of things like crochet or quilting as art.

[dead-pidoves-dirt-takes]

I think it’s rather interesting what ruminating in a too hot bath tub will do to you and what horrible memories it happens to dredge up.

Reactionaries in all forms like and want the optics of safety but do not want to put in the effort of actually keeping its vulnerable populations safer.

When I was younger the schools used a Catholic, “abstinence centred” sexual education curriculum known as “Fully Alive” which was pushed well into high school. But I think what is important is the stuff they teach the younger kids. They taught the sexual organs, which was anatomy of a penis and a vagina on the page, as well as sperm production and the menstrual cycle.

You know what they didn’t teach? Consent in any form. They didn’t start to mention sex at all as a concept until like grade 6 at the least.

You know who didn’t get the “privilege” of not being touched inappropriately? Who got molested before they could fully understand the concept of sex? Us!

Like it or not, in order to responsibly and reasonably raise your children to be safe from sexual violence and exploitation, you need to teach consent and what is a form of appropriate touch and what isn’t. From the moment a child is able to register their own body parts in relation to other peoples bodies. As well as what the appropriate forms of action are, lest they find themselves in those situations.

Fully Alive as a concept fails not just because it teaches Abstinence only sex education, but because it does not consider the upsetting reality that a child may find themselves in a position of being exploited BEFORE they are of the age that adults around them feel comfortable with breaching the topic of sex and sexual relations with others.

It prioritizes keeping a child’s ignorance, purity and above all else instilling the “proper Christian values” about sex. Because those FEEL like safe ways to protect kids to a bunch of oblivious grownups, and are comfortable/noncontroversial to teach! Rather than actually teaching kids about sex, and who they can find safety in, if they find themselves in a situation and position of sexual abuse, and exploitation.

But what I think is truly insidious and horrible about that book, is that it gives these institutions plausible deniability. You can’t criticize them! They taught kids about safe sex and how the bits work, that’s all you need to know! And you’re actually the weird one for advocating that kids are more informed and not just given the bare bones run down about sex. Not just about their bodies but about others and how they should (or should NOT) treat their bodies!

Bonus points it had a whole section in the highschool version about being against abortion and advocating for people to join anti-abortion causes (oh and I guess non-committedly being against the death penalty… lol)

I personally don’t have many triggers but those shitty purple textbooks are one of them. And it’s pretty much a whole joke at this point.

Chemistry can die thank u very much

genuine life hack - if you are researching something or trying to learn/understand something, look for teaching resources and/or curriculum for that topic. Teacher resources, guides, and curriculums are meant to be explicit with all explanations on the back (teacher) end and easy to understand on the front (student) end, which means they are the easiest things to learn from

trust me
