Labour Day's over! It was a happy day for most who had a holiday in their favourite, happy place and sad day for those who cannot have a holiday.
It's the beginning of the School Year 2019-2020 for Canadian students. I don't know the lives of other students nowadays in Elementary & High School nor in College but in Canada their student work loads are probably over the top. Just by looking at their textbooks? OMG! Are they all geniuses? At one point in time when teachers and educators should also receive the same kind of tests imposed on students. Why not? You know why? It's been unfair competition. If they can pass the test imposed on those students then there's a fair chance that those kids will really pass or they are teaching them the methods of passing the grades required to move up.
In the movie BAD TEACHER, Cameron Diaz portrayed a bad teacher role but actually she's a good teacher who made a difference in making her students pass the right way. She made a point to get through the bureaucratic process and what happened is a "lift off." You know what I mean? You don't know?
When I was in HS my teachers did something to that effect. If UP students are using the textbooks for their scholarly students then we had those textbooks too. It should be integrated right? What those educators are teaching their geniuses in HS we are being taught the same kind of lesson plans. Why not? In other words what "genius Sheldon" is absorbing through textbooks, encyclopedias and computers every students should also experience the same kind of learning the process. If they are having those testing, other students should experience same amount of learning process. Standardized test for all. It would be unfair if one school has all the textbooks and lesson plans given by the bureaucrats because they have certain favoritism. Fair, Unfair? It's not a game!
In College? In University... tell me the bureaucrat's favourite schools and University in Canada? How about in the US? HARVARD University is probably the favourite among the wealthy families. Difficulties in getting to Harvard? Yale? Oxford? I think to get there is "whom you know" not what you know. Then the experimentation begins. Rat Race.
