As many are pointing out to you, this is not the place for that discussion.
CRT in my world is Criterion Referenced Testing....just looked up the other CRT...yeah that will send this thread to a very bad place if it goes there
Welcome to the HSBBW off season. We have about 2 more weeks until the focus changes. When we get back in January, we will move on from Deion, cold weather camps and portals to it will turn to tryouts for high school parents (how much the coach hates my kid), schedules and the weather for college parents (Northern parents complaining about having to go south so much) and then it moves to season for college the second week of February. We get a little side tracked at this time every year. Someone will try to bring it back on track by talking about their favorite Christmas present they got or gave. Good luck.

So let me get this straight. Part of this discussion was about teaching our kids critical thinking skills and how much they are lacking in those skills when it comes to deciding what school to attend. Then when I speak up about my expertise on the subject (I have a bachelor's, a master's and currently working on another grad degree in education) you tell me what I am saying is not true, but won't explain. I believe you commented in another thread that unless you have been a part of something (referring to coaching and playing baseball) you can't really understand. Well as an educator with multiple degrees, I think critical thinking is my expertise so unless you are in education, maybe not your place.
I won't comment anymore as not to offend anyone with any truths, but I also won't allow someone to undermine my expertise.
Merry Christmas!!

Bless your heart! Play coy if you like. Nobody has an issue with teaching kids critical thinking. We need more of that. But your post went beyond that. You expressed an opinion that is not fact and has been proven to be untrue in many school systems. To me that looks like pushing a social agenda. I suggest Facebook as a better place for that.

My daughter played softball in the south. She commented I seemed to make more home games in February and March than April and May.
I don't have the time or energy to delete some posts and get this thread back on track. I had surgery today. PLEASE, IF ANY OTHER MODERATOR IS CHECKING IN, GO OVER THIS THREAD AND "FIX IT" OR LOCK IT.
If we can't get back to the OPs topic, I will lock it tomorrow since this thread will seem to have run its course.
Take care,
Darrell
