NYTimes "Curious Grades For Teachers .. Nearly All Pass" *Our Mirror NYT?! ~ US Taliban Schools' Agendas: Reflections of Capitalists' Capitalism's Failure in the Digital Aughts!?

Published in the dominant Afghan languages of Dari and Pashtun, the textbooks were developed in the early 1980s under an AID grant to the University of Nebraska -Omaha and its Center for Afghanistan Studies .. primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system’s core curriculum.  

… Student Failure in America is the Result of Poverty and Underfunded Schools, By Ann Robertson &Bill Leumer Global Research, Apr 01 '13

 A recent New York Times article, “Curious Grade For Teachers: Nearly All Pass,” finds incredulous the idea that, “In Florida, 97 percent of teachers were deemed effective or highly effective in the most recent evaluations.” .. The author goes on to cite similar percentages in other states and concludes:

“The teachers might be rated all above average, like students in Lake Wobegon, for the same reason that the older evaluation methods were considered lacking.” In other words, the teachers score well because the measuring standard is flawed. And this conclusion is reinforced by the observation that teachers’ high marks were achieved “even when students were falling behind.”

Unfortunately, newspaper journalists are apparently not held to any standards at all because the article omits all the crucial information that situates these statistics in a meaningful context.

Even the Taliban used the American-produced books ..The agency spent $ 51 million on the university’s education programs in Afghanistan from 1984 to 1994.” (Washington Post, 23 March 2002)The White House defends the religious content, saying that Islamic principles permeate Afghan culture and that the books “are fully in compliance with US law and policy.” Legal experts, however, question whether the books violate a constitutional ban on using tax dollars to promote religion.

… AID officials said in interviews that they left the Islamic materials intact because they feared Afghan educators would reject books lacking a strong dose of Muslim thought. The agency removed its logo and any mention of the U.S. government from the religious texts, AID spokeswoman Kathryn Stratos said.

“It’s not AID’s policy to support religious instruction,” Stratos said. “But we went ahead with this project because the primary purpose . . . is to educate children, which is predominantly a secular activity.”

Herein lies the rub~ Howlin Coyote~  Education is the most dangerous truth, to stand in the energy of corrupted, degraded, vile, evil.  Powerful is the human, when educated and therefore, equality in the advancement of higher intelligence.

The Federal Reserve System and all its owners-shareholders in STOCK to trade and exchange in the global commodities markets, don't need educated.  Certainly NOT and George Carlin was dark comedy, in his delivery about what is actually in the agenda.  The well educated are definitely a no.

George Carlin is dead.  Probably via the weapons industry, advanced and does not accept competition.

Unfortunately, what was done to Carlin, should be and what should have been already done to the other two named George.  One is close to meeting the essence of subtle and gross is not going to fit in well there, either.  Neither is the George W 43 going to do well when $$ does not spell soul journey.

Education in America got hijacked by the boots that like to goose our rights' right up our arses until our teeth and eternity once again remember facts about physical life.

We did not and do not stand a chance to stand against the pharmaceutical corporations in charge of education, not just in poisoning the youngsters.

BACK TO BASICS.  First, we must get back to gardening.  Einstein said it already, should he return it would be as a gardener.  'Mericans must STOP acting dumb and that means what goes into the mind, found in every cell of the human physical organic form, and then expands into an infinite 'unseen energy,' and the mystery is a never-ending journey in educating our species in how to be higher civilization(s) .. be SMART alright, about how to feed the energy of life in balance.
