Handicapping Young Minds-2002

A Petition related to French Elementary Schools, written by a high-ranking Inspector of French Schools. This Petition documents that the deliberate dumbing down of students is not confined to the USA, but is in fact part of an international dumbing down. Monsieur Ferrier says in part “But certain measures adopted by educators and school systems prevent the acquisition of basicknowledge and elementary skills…Among these measures: The abandonment of all forms of memorizing or “rote-learning” in favor of more “creative” and “rewarding” or fulfilling” exercises. Very useful and informative document which dovetails with similar petitions being circulated in the USA.
