DEI lowers standards in everything. In the corporate world, the standard of performance drops, so the baseline is the least performing employee, and in terms of incentive to succeed, it's not about tangible positive results, but the appeasement of feelings and appearance of doing social good.
Good article. Unfortunately the rot is in deep in the West, especially in Canada, we have a lot of work to do to remove ideology from the Canadian classroom.
China #1? In the PISA document that I saw, China was not mentioned as a country. The top 10 (overall) in PISA'a list are: Singapore – 560, Macau – 535, Taiwan – 533, Japan – 533, South Korea – 523, Hong Kong – 520, Estonia – 516, Canada – 506, Ireland – 504, Switzerland – 498
I was sent to boarding school in grade 9. We has two hours of supervised study each school night (7 to 9 pm). Obviously, in that environment, a student will learn more. I went to a regular high school for grades 12 & 13. Some the teachers weren't very good, but a few were excellent. I remember my first semester in grade 1 2 math was terrible; I had a 40 average. I was distraught but the teacher took me aside and said he felt if I worked at it, we could get my marks up to where they needed to be. Next semester was 60, and the last was 80. So IMHO, if you teach the student, and ask them to take ownership of their grades, and make them realize that their marks will be in direct correlation to the work they put into the subject, they can succeed. I graduated from high school almost 48 years ago, but I still remember that math teacher's name. It would appear to me we are doing a great disservice to our young people if we just tell that showing up is all they need to do. The real world isn't like that. Young minds need to be challenged, and they need to be told the truth about what they will eventually face as they become adults.

Agreed. Maybe this will help. https://PreventGenocide2030.org
Yep. DEI and wokeness will lower anything good. Dangerous.
