    his professorship is not a side hustle, im sure he has worked very hard to achieve his successes in academia, you re not exactly painting yourself in glory here, attempting to deride a much respected educator.

    once again, im not asking you to teach these skills, your chosen element of education is science! ive explained why some students have failed to gain these critical life skills, but you have a refusal to accept this differing opinion, in which i have had professionals confirm my opinion, yes its entirely possible chomsky himself wouldnt be interested in teaching such things, like you, he has other interests

    But you are still ignoring the fact that you are still expecting teachers to teach them. They are skills that can and should be learned in the home.

    ...i.e. 'personal responsibility', i could go around in circles here with this one folks, may i suggest the work of another fellow educator, noam chomsky, he does an exceptional job of explaining these critical social problems occurring, regarding our educational systems

    Your debating tactic is like saying "Explain to me why things fall towards the ground, and I don't accept the "gravity" argument. Try something better"

    Ok so the polemics and the political agitation is his side hussle and thanks for acknowledging that the great man himself wouldn't be interested in taking on a surrogate parent role for overgrown children. Professionals can be just like other people too, and will agree with a particular dogged person, just to get rid of them. I agree totally with you

    once, trying to deride a much respected person, who i suspect is far more respected than yourself. once again, im not saying you personally should teach these critical life skills!

    no im not, this truly is an extremely bizarre conversation, yes teachers could indeed teach these skills, but other trained citizens could also, within the educational system! once again, yes, traditionally these skills would have been thought at home, but may not be occurring nowadays, for the reasons outlined earlier, our educational system needs to change in order to facilitate this major change in society.

    Spot on. Teachers arent even experts in their own field, the majority have no more than the basics to degree level. And once you have a good relationship with someone in the school, a pass degree is acceptable. How can someone with a pass degree then teach when they can barely pass the exam to do so? Not a chance would I want some 25 year old arts grad teaching my kids anything other than the basic curriculum they are barely qualified to.

    There's no end to this mess, so much for all their 'reassurances'

    My son did HL Irish and German right up until the last minute but was recommended for him to drop down to OL as he was just about scrapping a pass in both.

    He got only a O5 in both which i think was unfair, would you see this as a correct score, i think he would have made a pass if he continued with HL?
    Just to add to this my son ranked 1 in his Irish and 2 in his German class so cannot understand his results, maybe his appeal will be successful as they have now said there were errors in the system..
