Education in US

GLOBAL Education Acumen is a Manipulated Statistic Comparison

Posted on by Helena

Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are promoting ‘equitable grading’, Social Emotional Learning and CRT.   The American Bar Association has declared it will drop the LSAT requirement for law school admissions – due to its inequitable and unfair system. Black colleges will get boosted funding from Biden Regime.   One such college launched the ‘black male achievers academy’ – which eliminates women. Advertisers for television and brochures have begun eliminating whites from ads.   And soon America’s average IQ will be on par with Africa – 67.

ANY US black man should be appalled that the means of bringing up their education, intellect, and test scores is to simply eliminate education, test scores and intellect from the system.   But it does serve to degrade our coming and next generations from being competent enough to hold a job – albeit with the exception of manual labor.

Globally, lockdowns reduced proficiency by roughly 2 years in developed countries.   Those sporadic areas where children were homeschooled or allowed to attend private elite schools, are omitted from the statistic.   Instead – the scores are a direct correlation of Government systems.

But it does explain why colleges need entry requirements to tank … money!    When students don’t perform they don’t go to college. When student performance measurements are eliminated – more unqualified candidates can go to college – provided grant money or government funding is available.

It is widely known among those who have the money that degrees are bought and sold.   Some, like AOC, Omar, Obama, etc… simply have their records sealed.   For others the fact that there are NO pictures of the person attending college, frat parties, or even graduation – the degree is more likely to be of the bought and paid for genre.

For Example:   Query: What has Ilhan Omar accomplished?   ANSWER:  “Omar is the first Somali American and the first naturalized citizen of African birth in the United States Congress, and the first woman of color to represent Minnesota. She is also one of the first two Muslim women (along with Rashida Tlaib) to serve in Congress.”

Unfortunately, when bios are created for our politicians, they neglect the details.   Omar graduated top of her class with a BA in international studies and political science from North Dakota University.   But she took her first employment with Minneapolis University teaching nutrition for ‘children’.?  North Dakota State is an agricultural college – they have no BA political Science and International Studies Program.

FTX Founder, Bankman, declared a degree in Physics – yet took an internship at Wall Street’s Biggest Player as a financial analyst broker with no certifications.  A Fake degree?

China’s public education system is free to urban citizens – not to the rural populace.  Rurals are the laborers. The peasants.   They represent 530million of the total population of China – 37.5%.  Most of these ruralites utilize their children in labor and they do not attend schooling.  So immediately nearly 40% of China’s population is eliminated in the statistics of education.

Less than 19% of the entire 1.4 billion people in China – go to college.  Math represents 60% of their day in school. By grade 9 – children have studied to some degree:   Math, English, Chinese, Physics, Chemistry, politics, history, geography, biology, IT and PE.   What they haven’t studied is CRT, emotional learning and equity. To attend High School, one must complete and pass an entrance exam.   Those that don’t – do not go to high school and must scrape a living.

While the West claims to want to mimic the Mao Agenda of Communism, they need to separate those who can and those who cannot – like China.   However, by anointing black students and green students with undeserved degrees that replicate toilet paper, they advance a false sense of oppression – aka a narcissistic idealism.

This idealism’s purpose is to root out average intellect, and degrade into a hovel of trash-compacted debris.   Ultimately achieving the rural vs urban distinction, and denying high school to those unqualified.   These will be the peasant keepers.

The China school model is rather parallel to Germany’s.   Only the top 30% are “Allowed to go to college”.   College is not a monetary decision, it is an intellectual decision. Intellectualism is based on what this particular student can do to benefit Germany at large.

In the US, any dunderhead with a loan or a parent deep pocket can go to college.   Effectively boosting college enrollment to levels that have absolutely zero value in terms of ‘value to society’ eclipsing 45%.   But it is a great means of absorbing middleclass finances at usury rates of inflation to create degrees in worthless social idiocy.

Ultimately, what these statistics reveal is that the differential between Chinese student acumen and Western children’s acumen is not a matter of actual statistic – but a modification based on eliminating the LESSER CLASS from the equation.

US EDUCATION: Dumbing of America for Control

Posted on by Helena

The Department of Education has a federal taxpayer funded budget of $71.5 billion, which represents about 8-9% of funding.   State and local property taxes comprise about 31.5% of collections of which roughly 40-50% is spent on schools.   Last year state and local tax collections totaled about $1.1 trillion.   Each public school pupil costs between $11,000 and $25,000 per year with a total budgetary expense for 2017 at $694 billion covering 50.8 million public school students.   That would represent an average of $13,661 per child or about $2500 higher than the average public state college. In addition, school fees and supplies can add upwards of $1200 per student per year – not including a computer and backpacks. By contrast, the cost to homeschool a child averages about $450 per child – or 3% of the average public cost.

Does throwing more money at schools make for a better education?

NY Buffalo District schools ranked an ELA proficiency rating of about 24%. In Wisconsin ACT scores dropped to 20 out of 36 exam questions – basically an “F”.   Tulsa Oklahoma stated that proficiency rates ‘plummeted’ in 2017.

The curriculum utilized over the last few decades has continued to morph into a vague image of its self once upon a time.   Today, according to Bruce Deitrik, this dumbing down was purposeful and deliberate.

Why?

To create sheeple incapable of accomplishing anything of value thereby subjecting them to the progressive globalization and New World Order of peasantry.

The riots and protests that we have been made witness to over the last decade is confirmation that our public education system is dysfunctional and completely worthless.  Students haven’t the ability to make change, state the name of five Presidents, or debate common philosophy, history, art, literature – or much of anything of value.

But it doesn’t stop there. Supposedly 72% of high school graduates ‘enroll in college’ compared to just 9% in 1940.   Why?  Colleges used to be for the elite, those with money and brains.   But savvy marketing over the course of decades changed the entire frontier from 160,000 students in 1000 colleges to 20 million annually in 5300+ colleges and universities.

It all changed in 1964 when Lyndon Johnson set up the Great Society programs that gave federal funding to colleges, scholarships, low interest loans, and subsidized the creation of 30 new community colleges per year.   Those subsidized student loans now aggregate $1.5 trillion spread out among 34 million students.

And within the Socialist Agenda we should absorb that debt.

Why?   Because the students can’t repay, they can’t afford it, they don’t want to pay it, they feel it should be free…   And in their pee-brains, no other country charges for college…

Today the US has about 20 million enrolled in college, which equates to 6% of the population.   The entire EU had 4.8 million who graduated tertiary education in 2017 out of a population of 513 million, which equates to .9%, an 85% discrepancy ratio.

Why? Because in the EU only those students who have tested intellectually superior – are allowed to go to college. And the determination is made during the formative years by the someones who make such determinations.

Today, facing off the bizarre CoVid appellate court, teachers unions and governors are holding court and digging in their heels to prevent students from returning to school after a 6+ month hiatus.   The ‘online’ mandate has resulted in some rather interesting failures including Michigan declaring that online instruction will not count toward the required annual instruction hours, Virginia’s Fairfax County parent’s filing complaints, and a plethora of failed online tech, poor outcomes and a high dropout ratio.   Thousands of schools didn’t even have an online availability, and the scramble for those that did to initiate 6 months of course curriculum in weeks – was an obvious mud bath.

While Pearson was the Bill Gates go-to, another rather obscure online forum has been quickly rising in the ranks – BYJU’s.   Funded by Zuckerberg, the very liberal – General Atlantic, The IFC whose parent is World Bank, Tencent Holdings out of China, and various venture capitalists connected with Google and prominent supporters of – Obama, provide the composite history of BYJU.  Making it much worse, Disney has collaborated in the ‘learning is fun’ module where basic concepts in Marxism and white supremacy are employed to devalue children.

I suppose we can count on them to provide unbiased, intellectual modes of online learning….

Unfortunately, like Amazon, BYJU is mired in disgruntled employee shrew where videos reveal a toxic environment of verbal abuse, nonpayment of wages, mindless firings, and an overall work-life balance of -1.

Apparently in collaboration with Twitter and You-Tube, BYJU management threaten employees if their social media accounts are not in compliance with corporate standards of liberal ‘tolerance and inclusion’, of those they deem tolerable and worthy of inclusion

While the article concludes that ‘investors should not be concerned’ regarding the complaints and controversies, the main user – students – likely should be concerned given they are being fed a ‘feed’ of information that is controlled by the Liberal Deep State.

In the end, education in the US has now become a choice of indoctrination or intellectual stimulus.   One is provided by the Deep State – the other must be provided by Parents.   One costs upwards of $15,000+ per year – the other costs $450 per year.   One requires students to submit to 12-14 years of primary education – the other shows typical graduation data as of 16.   One is controlled by parents – the other is controlled by The Nazi State.

Ultimately – the choice is yours.

Bernie Sanders: Socialism For All – Except Me

Posted on by Helena

Bernie Sanders promises Free Education For All.  Few in the media have bothered to explain what that means, how it would be funded, and most importantly, who is eligible.  

To understand how this works in other countries, Germany is likely the closest model.   Free university education for all!   Meaning, those who qualify to go to university subject to how many slots are available.   It is an academic vs liberal arts environment.

Germany now has the meritorious position of having the 2nd oldest population in the world due to plunging birth rates.   A severe shortage of tradesmen and college graduates has translated into a near crisis.   Encouraging international students helped somewhat, but when these students returned to their home country having reaped the rewards of a free education, Germany began charging international students.

University life in Germany is completely different than the lifestyle enjoyed by entitled American students.   There are no clubs, no student sororities, no student newspapers, no student activities whatsoever.   Class sizes are huge, and having access to a professor for advice is nonexistent.   A student is expected to perform on their own merit – period.   If you fail, you are removed and the slot is filled with someone capable of being an asset to the economy.

Qualification is based on merit; test scores, grades, area of study, and academic achievements.   There are no degrees in frilly liberal arts, communication, construction, real estate, etc… University is for the intellectuals not the party goers.

So what happens to those who don’t qualify?

Trade school – based on merit.   Essentially, it is quite similar to the methodology employed by communist countries wherein the ‘state’ determines your livelihood.   The 72% who don’t qualify for university or a trade – make a living on their high school diploma.

During a student’s ninth grade year, the state determines your vocational talent.   And your life is thus funneled into that tunnel vision therein.

Of course, just as with healthcare options, there are private universities that operate for profit and charge tuition. But admission rates can be as low as less than 10%, their areas of study are typically concentrated in academia, economics, and business and they are typically rather small enrolling roughly 2000-3500.   Tuition rates in US$ range between $12,000 and $20,000 annually.

While some private campuses offer housing, they are quite limited, and a severe apartment shortage is currently disrupting the balance of availability. As such, most students live at home.

Research programs at universities has only recently been instituted.  In the US research accounts for 12-16% of the total expenditures of universities.   Under Sander’s proposal all research would be privately funded and as a result, the US could easily slide into a nonperformance global achievement.

Sanders proposes to initiate a Wall Street tax, which has been dubbed the Robin Hood Tax, to ‘fund’ his free for all proposal.   According to Sanders, this robbing from the wealthy would produce an excess of $300 billion per year of which $47 billion would be allocated toward state funding of free tuition.   The $47 billion would fund 2/3’s of the cost and the states would be required to find the balance – $23 billion.

In a study conducted by Wharton in conjunction with Brookings, the effect of the Robin Hood Tax on the market economy would be a reduction of assets held by 62% and reduction of the value of stocks by 14.6%.   These reductions would lower GDP by 1.76% in the short term, but the rippling effect would lower sales tax revenue and income spiraling the economy ever downward.   In essence job reductions. Thus, a person might have a degree in Economics – but there would be few openings and the ultimate welfare state bubble would ensue.

The second half of Sander’s far reaching education Free For All is the cancellation of all outstanding student debt which is estimated to cost the government $2.2 trillion.   Using his conflated number of $300 billion per year in Robin Hood Tax, after giving states $50 billion, the remaining $250 billion would be applied over a ten year period to wipe out the debt.

While Sanders claims to have graduated with a degree in political science, he stated that he was not a good student finding his studies boring and beneath him.   Obviously his economic and math skills prove this point.

Without taking into account the immediate downward spiral that the Robin Hood Tax would effectuate, the ultimate faltering GDP, to presume that the $300 billion per year windfall would be sustained is simply – well, stupid.

The resulting shortage would translate into not just increased income taxes to finance the debt, but increased taxes to fund welfare programs as unemployment skyrockets.

This doesn’t even begin to address the Medicare For All costs!

In the end a 90% tax rate would likely still not cover these costs and the US would be forced into third world communism.

Either Bernie Sanders is aware of these consequences and his intention is to destroy the US, or he is ignorant of these consequences in which case his ignorance should be addressed and revealed. In either case, Bernie Sanders ideology is a mortal wound.

US Student Debt: Ask Bill Gates and New America Foundation – A Ponzi Scheme

Posted on by Helena

Student debt now stands at $1.41 trillion. 70% of college students are in significant debt, 44 million students and graduates. 33% of people over the age of 25 have a bachelors degree or higher.   While it sounds impressive, the percentage is actually lower than it was before student debt was initiated in 1958, before the debt was a federal obligation.   21% of public university’s revenue is made up from tuition and fees, the rest is subsidized.   90% of revenue of private universities is funded through tuition and fees.   The government spends over $80 billion on college students annually which is higher as a factor of GDP than Germany, France, Canada, Japan, Spain, and Italy who provide instate free education.  

What Happened?

Primary education in the US, on average, tops at roughly $13,500 per student per year, funded by taxpayers.   So where is all the money going?   40% pays for pensions. Another 10% is applied to administration, and of course now we have interest on school debt, purchase of buildings, outside services, etc…  How much is actually spent educating?   Pennies.

Blame Betsy Devos… Inane.   She inherited the entire broken system that took 60 years to create!

As of 2018, outstanding education debt had tripled over the previous 10 years!   That would be aka – Obama.   And it would seem interestingly coincidental.   If you want to control the youth – enrage and enwrap them in debt while indoctrinating them into a Socialist agenda of free everything.   I think it is called A Perfect Storm.

While many pundits would cite Germany’s model of free college, they dutifully forget that in Germany, college is a privilege for a select few based on whether the government determines you qualify for college or should instead benefit from ‘trade school’.

While I believe the notion of a trade school is beneficial, when the government makes the determination where you go, it, the government, owns your life.   That is called Communism.

It all fell apart under the Eisenhower introduction of the National Defense Education Act of 1958 which was launched to increase the number of science and math graduates.   Richard Cornuelle saw an opportunity and created United Student Aid Funds.   Private industry would back bank loans on behalf of college students after they exhibited rigorous potential for repayment based on guaranteed jobs upon graduation.   The model was a success! Student loan delinquency was 20 times lower, and job placement was $22.50 per student under the private plan.   Comparatively, the Federal Jobs Corps spent nearly $6700 per student during the same time period. And today that cost is $76,000 per actual placement.

In 1965, despite the success of Cornuelle, President Johnson signed the Higher Education Act, as part of his Great Society Agenda.   As a result, the government began a ferocious scheme to hijack the private institutions student loan programs and in 2000 under Bill Clinton Cornuelle’s vision was bought out by Sallie Mae for the sum of $770 million whereby the Federal government took over a successful private endeavor.

In 1999, the total outstanding student debt stood at $90 billion.   Ten years later, student debt grew by 511%. And the percentage of students graduating with a degree in math or sciences was roughly 20%.  Give it to the government to fail a successful private endeavor.

Today we offer degrees that have absolutely no benefit whatsoever in the job market, that cost the student in loans, that absolve any necessity in obtaining the degree, and further no value.   But hey, colleges want students and will offer whatever it takes to mobilize the thought that without a degree you are nothing… even if the degree is in dog watching.

Even if that degree is in – nothingness.

And still we wonder how it is that a person can graduate with a college degree in ‘communications’ and not be able to find a job outside of hamburger flipper at McDonalds while balancing a loan debt of $100,000?

Once again, the brain drain of this stigma can be found as a perpetual head thump – ‘if you don’t go to college you will make no money – and if you do, you can be a millionaire’.   Of course, many of the brain thumpers – never went to college, but that is rarely observed.

So what is the real point?

Money.   Control. Indoctrination.   And universities are all too eager to Swamp their pockets with this scheme funded – by taxpayers. Ultimately, WE pay for the defaulted loans, WE pay for the scholarships, WE pay the liberal arts degrees that have no inherent value!

Unfortunately today, even our esteemed private foundations that support foundations, that support NGO’s that support government funding of private enterprise – are mired in a clandestine middleman phenomena that basically redirects funds from the cause they claim to support, to the various councils and committees, and board members therein ultimately creating a Ponzi scheme within a Ponzi scheme within a Ponzi scheme so as to divert funds from the actual cause to a host of people with degrees and money from the poor they despair!  WHEW!

All within the pretext that ‘The Government” is helping the disadvantaged.

Lumina Foundation is the successor of Cornuelle’s vision, albeit within a somewhat distorted version of the initial schematic. You see, Lumina’s largest grant to support college education for the needy went to the OECD to fund an ‘analysis of the labor market’. They gave money to the Rockefeller Advisors!   And they have given massive amounts of money to New America Foundation whose executive Chairman includes Google’s Schmidt.

In essence, Foundations are giving the funding to each other, benefiting no one other than themselves, while receiving a non-profit status of NO TAXATION.

So where is our Education money going?

It is lining the pockets of the super wealthy who create Foundations funding their own Foundations. Want to know who is under cup number 1?   Gates.   Clinton.   And once upon a time – the US Department of State.
