But They Didn’t Dumb Down The Jobs

There’s been a lot of discussion lately about diversity, equity, and inclusion

The fact that employers should participate in this hiring practice has led to confusion

The DEI mantra applies nicely to government jobs where forms are handed out and clock watching reigns

However, in real world situations enthusiasm for this policy wanes

The person administering your anesthesia, sitting in the pilot’s seat, or wiring your home should be the best person qualified

Factors included in DEI shouldn’t be at the forefront to keep government officials mollified

Can you do the job? Have you been trained for the task?

Are the questions the employer needs to ask

One only needs to start with the current state of public education to understand the big picture

Currently the public education untold policy is to make students equally dumb and the teachers union richer

This all began in 2002 with the Bush administration’s brain child of the No Child Left Behind Act

A true government fiasco penalizing underachieving schools and had teachers geared to only instructing to the achievement tests so the tax sucking administrators wouldn’t be sacked

Then realizing disadvantaged students still weren’t achieving, they added a different version in 2015 written with exponential word salad

In government speak when a bad law is written with many whereasses and here-to-fors it somehow becomes valid

Since 2015 this is the law of public education and if graded A-F, it is still failing

Leaving higher achieving students bewildered, lesser students absent, and their place in the worldwide workplace dramatically trailing

Taking the cowards way out, some school systems have started giving disadvantaged students and those of color a break

Saying that students are not required to comprehend basic subject matter such as reading, math, or grammar. A feel good pass when in reality these kids’ future is at stake

Molly coddling these students has sent a ripple of awareness through the world of business

Lack of work ethic, job comprehension, and team work have been replaced by robots that never were instructed by this sickness

Robots invented by students that escaped this current state of education, applied themselves and replaced these unmotivated workers with a machine

Now it’s only a matter of time before the government will decide these machines need to come from a third world factory and will intervene

The workforce of America is now a product of the accepted policies from America’s school systems

Fast food kiosks, on line shopping, and blatant plagiarism enhance the ideals of public education and make America’s citizens the victims

The teacher worked tirelessly and had become increasingly frustrated and enraged

She’d spent her free time grading papers and writing lesson plans only to watch her class with their texts be engaged

The phones had been allowed in the classrooms since school shootings had become common place

Two years of enforcing digital learning ruined the classroom experience as public education had become a national disgrace

Now the top of heads is all this teacher sees as no one bothers to look up from their texts

She realizes no one is giving a thought to the current subject matter as the students are juvenile, boorish and highly sexed

She was young not that long ago and can imagine what the texts are like

More or less, they all have the same theme about current best friends, likes, dislikes and wishing the teacher would take a hike

The texts would all have the substance of phone conversations heard at Walmart

In other words passing time, and displaying the fact that the caller is not that smart

“gas ayt”

“booms”

“bic faak”

“rbay”

“ig2r”

Today’s texts were yesterdays phone calls. Only now one can instantly have a private line or a party line depending what information needs to be dispersed

Teenage angst, general information, and status can all be summed up in four or five letters depending on what needs to be conversed

The teacher came from the era when notes were passed when the instructor wasn’t looking like the scene from the movie Sixteen Candles

When friends handed folded notes back and and forth including intimate surveys, gossip and the latest scandals

She understands this is the new shorthand and one must be skilled in texting to comprehend

But she also knew the adults in the room had their own measures to counter this trend

All that is needed to completely confuse the texting generation are instructions or statements written in cursive

Anything in cursive to this texting generation might be considered sinister and subversive

The new generation has a real problem writing anything that can’t accomplished with two thumbs. Which explained the answer she received on multiple fill-in-the-blank test questions that weren’t graded very high

The four letter text simply stated “esad”
