Monark that’s one of the most retarded things I’ve heard
Many blacks have contributed greatly, and Latimer contributed but he certainly wasn’t necessary
Who do you attribute with the cure for polio Jonas Salk or his lab assistant
The reason you don't learn about Lewis Latimer in school is because, in the grand scheme of things, he is a tiny blip on the history radar. Thomas Edison is taught because the light bulb was a life changing invention, regardless of who improved on it.
Edison also has hundreds upon hundred of inventions
Many of which arent even mentioned in schools because they're irrelevant in the grand scheme of history.
That he actually did solely invent only in his old age did he enlist new inventors for his inventions
I mean phonograph is cool
Movie camera
First viable projector
Man was pretty awesome too bad he fucked over others in his spare time
It's why you really only learn about Bell's telephone invention despite him also inventing plenty of things. Schools touch on other inventions but it's the major, life altering inventions that get the most attention in education.
If educators had to mention every single invention and improvement to said inventions, you would probably grow old and die on school.
Honestly government needs to get out of education in the way they are
Since the education departments founding in 1979 we dropped significantly in education
Plus the addition of common core in recent years
What a shit show that is
I don't think education should be privatized but at least let local or state governments handle it
I believe privatized schooling with limited government interference is also one of the best ways to handle it
Colleges only became as bad as they are now due to privatized business being able to take advantage of the government
Colleges being a fantastic example
I think states should regulate curriculum, but I also think that private schooling is important
I mean I’m becoming a realtor for the soul reason schools suck and they don’t allow me freedom
Financially or career wise
Our education system is fucked
sorry i say very dumbass stuff when im tired af and barely concious

I don't like the idea of regulating curriculum
Less regulations. More freedoms
^It winds up in teachers teaching to the tests. I know I’m going to catch hell for saying this cause this opinion is unpopular asf....
The best way to ensure public education is of quality is having its employees more accountable for their work. After teachers get tenure they are nearly impossible to fire. This drives down competition and allows them to coast rather than put in maximum effort. Yes I get students may not all learn at equal rates and that could reflect poorly on a teacher... but why not just accept this for new teachers and hold a record of longer history accountable? History meaning taking into account the location and performance of other educators in that environment. Also public education is not underfunded but mis-allocated. Superintendents make like 10 salaries worth of a teacher, yet are incredibly less impactful on the quality of learning of the actual student. Overfunded school bureaucracy leads to top down fund allocation that doesnt help learning. If that funding for a superintendent was distributed to the teachers, there would be much more incentive to be a teacher and perform well while less need for anti-productive incentives like tenure.
oops posted in wrong channel, im in voice chat if anyone wants to talk about the scotus ruling
Who’s ready for another go at constant war and higher and higher taxes
I hate what our once beautiful nation has become, a bunch of idiots who think because Biden says he won’t tax the middle class or lower class means he won’t.
I blame the faulty education system which teaches false ideals to impressionable children
That breed our modern form of stupidity
I’m truly worried we’re down our darkest path, one of a career politician bending the United States over to be fucked by the world
Trump gave hope, Biden gives fear and treachery
There aren't many free thinkers left in our world
Too many people just repeat the same shit they hear on tv or see on facebook/twitter
