Education

‘Let Go of the System’: How Can Parents & Teachers Stop CSCOPE?

Mar. 9, 2013 10:24am Tiffany Gabbay

On Thursday TheBlaze along with The Glenn Beck Program delved deeply into the controversial curriculum system sweeping Texas schools known as CSCOPE. From issuing gag orders on teachers to bar them from talking about lesson plans, to preventing parents from obtaining information about what their children are being taught, the way CSCOPE operates almost seems like a work of fiction. Disturbingly, it is not.

Following up on issues covered by his panel the night before, Beck on Friday discussed what teachers and parents can actually do to stop the effects of what’s being called an “oppressive” curriculum management system.

“The best thing is to educate yourself as a teacher on what it [CSCOPE] is,” Beck said. “As a parent, get your kids out of the public school system… Do not let another day go by with kids being indoctrinated.”

Historian and Texas native David Barton said parents should broach the subject with the curriculum directors of their children’s schools and engage the school superintendent.

“Teach kids what is right,” Barton said.

Barton and Pat Gray both said it’s important for parents and teachers to focus on their school boards and, more pointedly, the local election process, because citizens are most effective at the local level.

Barton explained that CSCOPE is operating outside of Texas, typically under the generic Common Core standards name and that there are variations of CSCOPE in other states.

The public education and traditional university system is “killing our ingenuity,” Beck said.

He noted that there have been many successful people, including famed CEOs and entrepreneurs, who did not go the route of traditional education. Beck qualified that wasn’t saying education is not important, but that the system by which it’s sometimes delivered can be inherently flawed.

“Don’t let go of education, but let go of the system,” Beck said. “You can think out of the box.”

How to beat them? TAKE YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF THESE PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!!!! I thank God every day that I have the financial ability to send all seven of my Grandchildren to private schools. If I didn’t have the money, I would do whatever I had to do, to get them out of these ‘Communist/Socialist Indoctrination Centers’. Get your kid’s out of these so called schools people!

  We all know some dem libs with the support of some communist leaning republicans are working on how to make it illegal to home school starting with Pre-K it’ll be a mandate ala Obamacare. Why would they do this, well if everyone isn’t sending their kids to the schools then the enrollment numbers go down which forces them to lower taxes and they can’t do that because that funds the unions. The indoctrination must continue so they can have more useful consumer idiots. They will select a few “smart privileged students” and track them toward success, so if you have 89 students 10 will be groomed to be “leaders”. Out of those 10 something like 2 are expected to graduate and do something in their field of expertise that is of leader ship quality. America should revolt at those numbers, they are saying that more than 50% of your kids they are just going to push through the system with no real education beyond that which will make them capable of working in, low wage jobs in food services, and labor. If you’re saying that’s all I ever had, get a clue this is 2013 most home owners are paying 4000 dollars a year to educate a child. Oh but those school admins have the right to make as much as a Nuclear Engineer?? The insanity must stop… pull the plug on the unions and get your kids out of the schools until America resets the communist system in place is only going to make your child A-moral and more useless in terms of being a Christian Human being.

  True. Do know what happens when kids learn about evolution and the the big bang and global warming and other areas of science in school? They become scientists that’s what. And they go on to promote all this extremist liberal dogma, this so called “science”, and also many go on to keep America on the forefront of the world in medicine, physics, computer science and other science, including military technology.
  
  Little wonder we have the best medical facilities and doctors in the world, even if we rank really low in the world as far as medical care for the average person.
  
  By all means don’t expose your kids to science, or if you do, make sure you explain how any scientific idea that conflicts with your political or religious beliefs is wrong. Naturally. They’ll make good pastors although they’re unlikely to contribute much to the advancement of science.

  Unfortunately not everyone is cut out to do home schooling nor can they necessarily afford a private school. My wife had a complete meltdown after trying to do it with our two kids after only two years. What then?
  
  One thing I’ve suggested before is for Glenn’s team, or perhaps David Barton, assemble some sort of curriculum that could be used for home schooling, or barring that, as an extended Sunday School curriculum for conservative churches. The teachers tell them “This is what you’re public school will never teach you.”

  @SENDTHEMETEORS
  
  I have no problem with my children learning science.
  
  If my religion cannot withstand truth, then it is not much of a religion.
  
  The problem is not the ‘facts’ my children learn, rather it is the agenda they are being taught.
  
  Most arguments have more than one side.
  
  Global warming (climate change) may indeed be occurring, but to insist that man is the cause is not proven.
  
  There may be an increasing gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’ may be provable, but to insist capitalism is the cause is debatable.
  
  If schools taught facts, that would be fine, but it is apparent that they teach an agenda.
  
  Public schools are run by the government (read politicians) and we all know they have an agenda.
  
  Private schools, likewise have an agenda.
  
  The best thing to do is to let everyone school their children as they see fit and let the results speak for themselves.
  
  The more government intervention, the less likely we are to achieve real progress – which I thought was the goal of the ‘Progressives’.

  @sendthemeteors (aka, braindead) – are you kidding me? Science? Since when are our schools teaching science? (not for 25 years at least!) While we are at it, our schools arent teaching math or english either! They are wasting away teaching about LBGT and social issues rather than math, science and english. Heck, schools are not even teaching history, they are changing history to suit their agenda. Do you know what happens when you dont learn history? You repeat it, yup, that’s right, you repeat it. Want to talk about global warming? Lets take numbers (although if you went to public school you probably will not understand what I am about to type)
  
  In order to do a scientific analysis you absolutely need a baseline. (I know, I just lost you already, you have no clue what I mean by baseline) This earth is over 3+ BILLION years old, (that is BILLION with a capital B). Global warming data is just over the last 100 or so years of JUNK data. You cannot possibly do an analysis of the last hundred years of a 3+ BILLION year old planet and call it scientific. DUH! That would be like asking one person in the world what their opinion is and call it scientific. But that is what we get from the liberals who think they are so smart. We get JUNK! Not science! Not math, just JUNK! You think you are so smart, well honey, think again….sadly, I dont think you are capable of thinking period! No run along little girl!

  SendTheMeteors – exactly WHAT does concern over INDOCTRINATION of our children have to do with exposure to science? Who here is throwing a fit over exposure to science? The real issue here is that CSCOPE has a very obvious agenda in place to indoctrinate children into a collectivist mindset that strips them of national pride and absolutely is NOT teaching them anything truthful about history, American or otherwise.
  
  Again, who is railing about science and what does any of this have to do with religious beliefs? You’re the only one I’ve seen even mentions science and religion. I want my child taught FACTS, not theories based on junk science being taught as cold, hard, scientific fact. Math and science are critically important, but when the hell was the last time our kids as a whole were receiving a decent education in either of those subjects, not to mention the amount of kids graduating from high school who care barely read, write, and seem to only be fluent in texting-ese? Is THAT education?
  
  Our education system is in a shambles and our kids are not receiving the kind of education they should be. Indoctrination, yes. Education, no. I want my child to be taught the truth about American history as well as WORLD history. Why does history repeat itself? Because man apparently hasn’t learned the lesson that when you don’t learn from history and keep those lessons alive from one generation to the next, we tend to repeat them over and over again.

  Evolution and Global Warming are completely non-scientific. Global warming teaching ignores the fact of manipulated data. Evolution is a just-so hypothesis that purports to explain everything, but is unwilling to examine the things it fails at predicting. Big Bang wears the cloak of science better than the other items you mentioned, but it is nothing more than a giant exercise in extrapolation.
  
  Here’s the reality: True science is actually quite limited in what it can explain. If you can’t reproduce it in the laboratory via experimentation, you can’t explain it scientifically. All those things you mentioned as science are actually Aristotlean philosophy: Make an observation, reach a conclusion, argue your position, the argument that persuades the majority is declared the truth.

  I see the department of education as being exactly what the founders were trying to stop with religion. When a government creates a religion and forces everyone to worship there that is wrong. When a government creates a school system and forces everyone to send their kids there it is the same thing. We need a separation of education and state.

  JustMeHere – I think you need to reread the comment because I believe you’ve missed the entire point. Kindling didn’t say the gov’t has forced anyone to follow a particular religion. The point kindling was making was simply that creating any type of a system, be it religious or education, and FORCING people to adhere to that and that alone as their only choice is indoctrination. This agenda that our gov’t has put into place in our education system is indoctrination, pure and simple. It’s no different than the gov’t deciding that they’ll begin telling people what church they must attend, or deciding that none of us CAN attend church. The point being made is control and subsequent indoctrination.

Privatizing education is about the worst thing the United States can do.

Mr. Beck has always complained about public schools. If it wasn’t this issue Mr. Beck would be highlighting something else.

Look at the disaster the for profit adult education industry has caused. The “education” they provide is less than worthless.

Privatizing education and dumbing down of the America’s children is a mortal sin.

  Coming from a state that has the lowest education standard in the Us. Where the teachers union signs the contract and then gets away with ignoring it. Where they refuse to sign another one and then a year later come back and beg to sign it.
  
  Until the teachers start drug testing as per signed contract, it will continue to be a mess. Of course the politicians all send their kids to private schools. The only place in Hawaii you can hope for your children to learn to read at public expense is in the Chartered schools

Any way the end of the first cycle of kids they went to real schools and the couldn’t read and write and were like feral animals. Kind of like the public school systems in NYC where the kids have sex with each other in while the teachers babbles on… NYC public high school graduate’s literacy rate is less than 20%. That’s 80% that hold diplomas and can’t read a stitch, you think they can do calculus? Bwahahaha! There are however many fine private schools. In fact the most elite schools in the are all private.

  A highly liberal private school escaping the trappings of public schools.
  
  Private schools, through their own innovation, are what should be driving the education process, not a one-size-fits-all national program.
  
  The problem seems to be that most people want equality, or fairness. This causes them to want to standardize things. This choke progress. A ‘collectivist’ mentality is a detriment to progress. The ‘Progressives’ have become blinded by their hatred towards anything the right suggests, and by doing so are ‘regressing.

  Sounds like the government has done a fine job dumbing down our students. Lets see, 80% of NYC graduates cant read! 60% of 12th graders can only read at 8th grade level in most states. Of all the advanced countries in the world, the US has the lowest scores in math, science, and english yet the highest paid teachers. Teachers like to blame parents but there are bad parents all over the world and yet the teachers there do a better job at teaching students. Colleges across this country have turned into prostitution institutes, lower requirements so anyone with a student loan can get it, once in, the teachers sell grades. (dont think they dont) There was a time where getting a college degree was a real achievement. In today’s society, it’s just another notch on the bedpost.

I have a genuine question for those of you thinking about-or already are-homeschooling. Do you plan to include computer programming in your curriculum? Public schools are sorely lacking in these skills, but most home schooling materials I have seen also seem to lack these lessons. Are these things that you would like to offer your child and would you be willing to pay for a tutor?

  I’ve homeschooled my kids for the past 7 years and made the decision based on curriculum issues. My kids are incredibly computer savvy & my son writes a Tech blog! It has been one of the biggest positives of homeschooling for us. They’ve had time to learn incredible computer skills – mostly on their own! I love that they can learn & pick up skills like basic coding so quickly. There is incredible curriculum available, classes/workshops/coops available depending on your area, online courses, dual enrollment with local community colleges at the high school level and many other opportunities!

  I’ve homeschooled 6 years now and if you are asking if there is a market for private tutors in something like computer programming, the answer is yes. I am always looking for experts to teach my sons things I am not equipped to teach them myself. Even if there is a great curriculum out there for whatever it is I am looking for (and there usually is), I will always opt for hands-on, personal, one-on-one training from someone who knows what they are talking about if that is an option.
  
  In my area, there is a co-op type group of people exactly like you who know a certain trade or subject and will teach it to high-school aged students. My son has taken a few classes there – most recently a class in photography. Parents buy individual classes, as many as they’d like, in whatever subjects they need. If such a group like this exists where you are, you could offer to teach a class with them. It’d certainly be an easy way to get started.

The problem is most parents are also victims of this indoctrination and don’t see what is happening. We are slow boiled frogs. Some of us have woke up and are challenging the system. I am lucky I have found a traditional school (public) that has awesome teachers and officials who say the heck with the sytem and teach the old fashion way. Funny thing is they say the test scores for this school is too low and it must be a failing school. When I go over my childs homework I see, critical thinking, reading, writing, math, truethful historical lessons, and etc. The school prior was a progressive indoctrination camp, my kid could not read properly and was told by the school to ignore any thing the parents were telling them so home tutoring was not working, yanked kid out of that school and put her in this “failing” school and now my child is above level on all skills. Teaching to politics and tests is failing our children, our country and future. Do not fail your children, step up to the plate and make changes.

  If your kid went to a Mechanic school, and then was given a test on Cooking, the result would look bad. My child was telling me that a teacher likes to use the term “Global Citizen”, since we live close to the boarder to Canada, I told him to tell the teacher that he should tell the Boarder inspectors the next time he goes to answer “Global” the next time they ask the citizenship? I’m sure that would be a good answer now.

Yea, take them out of the public schools and enroll them in good christian schools where your children will certainly not be indoctrinated to believe that the loch ness monster disproves evolution, that the kkk was a force for good, that most slaves were treated well by their masters, that hippies were devil worshipers, and that the trail of tears was justified because it brought natives to christ, etc etc.

  It is parents business what THEIR children are taught. All parents who have a sense of decency want their children taught the right way. Not to worry. We know what is best for OUR children. Why give the hearts and mind of your children over to strangers who have an agenda when children can be taught the love and respect for God, their family and their country? It is a fools game to allow your children to sit under strangers with problems and ideas that are perverted and against God and your teachings. These are your children and their minds and souls should be YOUR responsibility until they are old and wise enough to make take that responsibility on their own?
  
  Also why should we allow our children into a school where God is not welcome, but perverts are?

Excuse me while i go do more stuff to blame on everyone else” Bush, stimulus, tarp afganistan, the arab spring-winter. He was there for all of it. As senator, or President. His fingerprints are on every square inch of what he blames on people who weren’t even there yet. You are what’s known as a hapless fool, easily indoctrinated and demonized beforehand should you think outside “the group”

  Funny, my kids go to a Christian school to through 8th grade. The teachers in the public schools now have to come up with “Rating Tests” to gauge the teachers progress for their pay increases, (something the teachers hate). We had a teacher that makes up those tests tell us that she makes sure that the students will do bad at beginning of year, and will do good at end of year. The kids that moved into public 9th grade all did great, one of them went right to 10th grade math and took the beginning test this year and scored 100 on it. The woman we know asked why we were teaching that far ahead. It’s funny, and they have a religion class in there as well, I guess that is better than the 2 study halls a day the public schools get.

  Not one person I know who attended a religious school was taught anything that resembles what you mention (yes, I know you were exaggerating to make your point). What I was taught along with the others was how to read, write, and do math. We were actually taught how to spell and use correct grammar, to to organize, debate, to think, to use logic, to know and understand our country’s history including the Constitution. And we learned all this and still had time to learn about our faith and our responsibilities to our families, friends, communities, and country. We learned to respect people of all colors and faiths and to never compromise our ideal and morals for the sake of political correctness or because they might hurt someone’s feelings.

  Excuse me but I went to a Christian School myself and then went to a public school, I learned much more at the Christian school then I did at the public school. The teachers and students cared about each other and we were like family compared to the public school where most of the teachers and students had no morals. I compare a lot of what I learned from my time at the Christian School to my time at the public school and the only thing I was taught there was evolution which I even told the teacher I didn’t believe in, he just laughed at me and said, “you must be a stupid christian.” I said yes, I’m a Christian and I don’t subscribe to Darwinism.
  In any case, Public schools don’t hold a candle to Christian schools.

I work a continually changing 12 hour swing shift but I felt so strongly about the crisis facing the public school system that I unenrolled my 4th grader about a month ago. Home schooling is the only option I see in the short term to ensure my son gets a good education. It hasn’t been easy but I owe it to my child to ensure he has a chance to thrive and the ability to take care of himself later in life. The amazing part of this comment is that when I approached the Principal, she was 100% supportive of my decision and said I was doing the right thing. It is concerning that school officials support home schooling and realize it provides the best opportunity for a child. I believe it is the only way to stop the embrace of socialist views by our younger generations during their formative years early in life..

  Kudos! I experienced the same support from my children’s elementary school 7 years ago when I pulled them out to homeschool them. We haven’t looked back since! It’s very time consuming to review and select curriculum, and it’s also pretty expensive. Yet the benefits FAR outweigh the negatives. Nothing compares to an education tailored to your child.

  As a now single parent, I wasn’t in an easy situation to homeschool, but when the opportunity came to us, we jumped at it, and haven’t looked back! Best decision we ever made. My kids learn more in home school on my days off than they ever did in traditional school, all day, five days a week.
  
  For those of you who have a dual income / two parent family, it is easier. Look at what you can do to make your life work on one income, and then put the kids first. You don’t know what you can do to your lifestyle when you take the nonsense out. The kids need you more than a house with extra bedrooms or a new car, or twenty electronic/digital gadgets. Scale down and teach your kids.

  We have home schooled for the past 5 years. Our children have always been in private-christian schools prior to us taking them out to home school. We were seeing the school slowly introducing secular curriculum and easing up on their standards for their teachers. It was the best thing we ever did! Certainly not easy, but what options do we have? It’s going to take a very long time to fix the schools system, in the mean time, what are you doing to your child? Take care of your children first, then try to fix the public school mess!

Texas Sucks!!!!!

When we found the Five Pillars of Islam being taught to our 10th grader, I went stright to the HS on Monday morning. (That’s an hour I will never get back) Only to be confronted by a bunch of Free Lunch Slaves who have surendered to the system inorder to save their paychecks. I asked about the Christian Faith worksheet and when it would be handed out. Guess what? They don’t have one…..

Texans talk a big game but they don’t do Sh!#. If this bunch was at the Alamo they would have thrown up the white flag and rolled out the red carpet, and Texas would be part of Mexico. Oh wait I think it is…..

All of this comes out of Washington. You can say it’s Texas or anywhere else, but it comes out of Washington and liberal lobbying groups. The Dept of Education is their hiding ground central. The dept of ed needs too go. States are perfectly capable of operating their schools the right way. BUT Washington needs to STOP taking their money for education and sending them back alinsky curricula.

  There are some cases where your point is correct, however, we went many decades in this country with one breadwinner and things just seemed better overall. As a society we have been trained for pleasure and material things, requiring two breadwinners. Personal quality is not derived from square footage or other material pursuits, nor is our childrens. As we have lost this concept, society has degraded. Of course this isn’t entirely our fault, the grinding down of America started with the education system (going back to Dewey) and continues unfettered as we are more concerned with real and desperate housewives than our children’s indoctrination.

  The problem with home schooling is that Washington makes the home schooler pays taxes that the people then cannot use. Screw the dept of ed and let the people home school IN Their own community as a whole. In other words, get Washington out, then the home schoolers can make a community school they can home school as a community. A public school, instead of an alinsky school.

  According to Agenda 21, Constructivism teaching philosophy —-”…students construct (their own) understandings of reality, and (realize) that objective reality is not knowable.”
  Another description of constructivism is, “The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values”
  How effective would be the constructivist philosophy in medical school? Anyone want to be operated on by a doctor who is not interested in facts? You are a COMMIE!!!!!

  The problem is that Washington is TAKING the money from the women in the first place, regardless of where their kids go to school. Then she pays property tax for schools she doesn’t use.
  More than enough to send her kids to a school of her CHOICE. More than enough. But she is forced to send her kids to an alisnsky-ized school after the central planners have taken all her money.
  It’s HOW we got here. That should not be overlooked.
  Our enemy is the central planners who have done this to you already. It’s a scheme. It’s always been known to be a scheme. Now we see the scheme up close and nowhere to turn because they have taken your money for something THEY want, not what YOU want and they have left you nowhere to turn. SCHEME. Evil scheme, but you are being told it’s about the other guy (school choice proponents) who wont take even more money from you and give it to THEM.

I have no kids in Texas schools but I do live in Texas.

Just Google Texas Board of Education and follow the links. As much attention they gave to intelligent design it is surprising that this Communist propaganda could sneak through under the radar. It’s up to us to get it ON the radar!

  I live in Texas, and am a cold war vet. I HAD an 8th grader in the public system, but took him out around Thanksgiving last year. For anyone who wants a good, cheap curriculum, I am using A Squared. It costs $99 (plus you provide your own math, which I use Khan Academy on line for free) and is for grades K through 12, so you buy it one time. I am not associated with this curriculum in any way, receive no compensation for suggesting it, it’s just what I use.

Simple answer to a stupid question. Homeschool. When something is not working anymore, back up and restart from when it was working. This cscope crud has been creeping up in the schools for years and now they feel more bold because obaba is in charge to advance their agenda of indonctrinating our children to the socialist/marxist way of life. If your children are important to you you will downsize your home, buy generic clothing, what ever it takes to make sure they are taken care of and educated right. We have been critisized for insisting on doing it ‘old school’, but my kids and grandkids along with the rest of our families are doing just fine in our smaller homes, older cars and canning our food. Kids come first, not your ‘me time’ and partying. Period.

  You are exactly right Annie! If something that impacts your family, is broken, you fix it. Period. You don’t sit around, wringing your hands, complaining about it. You fix it! Who knows your children and their needs better than you? Certainly not the government. Home school. Figure it out. Spend an afternoon researching and take control of your children’s future.
