We need a general tweet of the day thread

Intellectual diversity and competence is not a priority in today's public education run by dems. "Global empathy" loosely translated means America Last. If we just spent more money. Definitely putting the tard into leftists.

A VERY PUBLIC EDUCATION: ‘Portrait of a Graduate’ is lite on academics: They can’t read, but they have ‘global empathy.’

By the time I got my high school diploma, I could read, write and calculate, dissect a frog and analyze the causes of the Civil War. But that was the last millennium.

Today’s students need more, say educators. The national superintendents’ association urges schools to “establish a high-impact ecosystem by building clarity and conviction for a shared vision of learning. The newly trendy “Portrait of a Graduate” goes beyond academics to identify what “children in your community need to succeed in this rapidly changing, complex world.”

In Columbus, Ohio, for example, the portrait includes “global empathy,” ability to use technology, creativity, adaptability, communications and “critical thinking.”

“As of 2024, at least 20 states and countless districts had initiated ‘Portrait of a Graduate’ reforms, writes Daniel Buck, who directs the Conservative Education Reform Network, in Education Next. Educating the “whole child” is an old idea, he writes. This could be just another fad. However, the Education Testing Service and the Carnegie Foundation are working on tests to measure the unmeasurable. Is Caleb achieving the desired level of good citizenship?
