Henri, haven't you noticed the gargantuan handbasket the world is travelling in?
Educrats wield the word "rote" as a weapon.
THE DELIBERATE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICAMost theorists in the education industry today think that if we get kids to form opinions out of thin air, without having to know anything a priori, then we are teaching them to "think critically". But many suspect that what that really produces (and we see it all the time in society) is people who have lots of groundless opinions, who can tell you what they think about any issue without even a glimmer of a notion that they might wish to know something it before they open their yammers.
Anyone who has had any lingering hope that what the educators have been doing is a result of error, accident, or stupidity will be shocked by the way American social engineers have systematically gone about destroying the intellect of millions of American children for the purpose of leading the American people into a socialist world government controlled by behavioral and social scientists.
And rote learning does have a place in forming habits and for memorization, but that is just the support beam for a much bigger project -intellectual growth.The new reforms simply set the stage for the next crisis, which provides the pretext for the next move forward. This is the dialectical process at work, a process our behavioral engineers have learned to use very effectively. Its success depends on the ability of the “change agents” to continually deceive the public, which tends to believe any lie the experts tell them.
I certainly have to agree with this, I saw the great illustrius Chomsky on TV recently say with a bald face that Liberals comprise only 1% of all educaters, HA! I lost All respect for him then, Even as a Liberal Teenager completely affected by my ALL-Liberal teachers I knew it was a lopsided representation in certain classes, : i.e. History and all current events classes were only taught by Socialistic teachers. I never saw any deviation in their slanted teaching. These teachers had nothing but contempt for anything decent or kind or conducive to freedom.

Or both together... The attempts to implement creationism into the science curriculum (which is almost as absurd as teaching French in the German courses] shows that ignorance (aka stupidity) and arrogance (here malice) go hand in hand.A friend of mine once reminded me: "Never attribute to malice what could be explained by sheer stupidity."
My curiosity has been piqued since reading this, gzer; have you thought about asking them to parse the sentence: "Stuff it."?The headlines touted the program's definition of nouns as "stuff" and verbs as "what stuff does."
