Progressives have been urinating on that for years. They have compeltely changed the meaning of it, removing the verification, validation and replication phases of the process. They tell the students that peer review is king and that consensus establishes validity.
You have no clue what you are talking about, you people have destroyed the education system!
FFS ask any of the kids today about the Null Hypothesis and they will give you a blank stare!
/facepalm
Thank you for such a rational and scientific reply-- NOT!
Your a priori bias against "progressives" in this discussion disqualifies you from being taken seriously.
I bet you haven't even been in a science classroom in decades. Believe it or not, they have these things called "labs." Ever hear of them?
Right, although there is no epidemic of "bad" teachers like some argue, if we go on a witch hunt firing decent teachers, and then lower wages and make teaching conditions more challenging, things certainly won't be getting any better in our schools.
Absolutely. I don't get the people who think that, in a teacher shortage, it's a good idea to lower wages and reduce benefits. It's like these people don't care about true education. Oh, wait....
To the Left, it is success. The kids are being taught to think just like they do. That's the goal. They don't want young people to learn to think for themselves.
And which prescribed fake-newsbite did you swallow that piece of pablum from? You've bought into the anti-liberal hysteria, yet you think you're a free thinker.
Something has to change. We can't continue to have public schools graduate illiterates. Give parents a choice. A voucher for each child that they can use at any school they wish, even private. The government uses private contractors for many things, why not schools?
First of all why should any of us have to pay for your child to go to private school. Pay for it yourself just like my parents did and every other parent has done. And my family was pretty poor but my parents wanted us to go to catholic schools so they made it happen. But a voucher really isn't school choice for a private school. You have to be accepted by them. And they are very competitive to get into. So it's really not that simple. Plus a voucher only goes so far. Families will have to make up the cost which poor families could never afford.
Yeah, thank God the sister of the founder of a criminal organization like Blackwater who embezzled millions from taxpayers is now confirmed by an evolution denying whacko Evangelical.

And government funding will be pulled from the kids whose families cannot afford to make up the difference and hence the right wing mantra...
Sweetie, God had nothing to do with Voss being nominated or confirmed.
It may surprise you to learn that God is not a Republican...He is not even American!
I do pray He helps us get through these next four years without completely unraveling or finding ourselves facing WWIII.
For supporters of choice and those who oppose public education, a question.....
1. Is a $2,000 - $5,000 voucher for a $30,000 private school really a viable choice?
2. Isn't the proposal to dismantle public education taking away a choice? A particular public school(s) may be good, but if even the good public schools are broken down, wouldn't that, in effect, taking away an option.....?
