JD’s manually curated links for God-fearing MAGA patriots
In this Not the Bee article, Edward Teach argues that a viral TikTok trend featuring education majors struggling with basic knowledge undercuts the claim that ordinary parents are unqualified to homeschool their own children.
- The article centers on a viral video trend in which college students quiz their education-major friends, with some future teachers appearing unable to answer basic questions.
- The author uses the video to argue that many parents may be more capable of teaching their children than they have been led to believe.
- Not the Bee stresses that the criticism does not apply to every teacher, but frames the trend as evidence of deeper problems in teacher preparation.
- The piece claims education programs often emphasize modern theories, critical theory, and ideological content more than practical knowledge.
- The author cites a 2011 American Enterprise Institute study arguing that education majors tend to receive unusually high grades compared with students in other academic disciplines.
- The article highlights the study’s conclusion that higher grades in education courses may reflect lower grading standards rather than stronger student performance.
- The author also points to older data and commentary suggesting that weaker students have disproportionately chosen education as a field for decades.
- The broader argument is that parents should not be intimidated by credentialism when considering homeschooling, especially if the education system itself is producing underprepared teachers.
