  To be fair, they never said they wanted to &quot;change the future of education in America&quot; for the better

  Zoe&apos;s cat being her her emotional support as she grows increasingly frustrated with PraegerU&apos;s failures of lesson plans is the love we want to see in this world.

  “What colors is the Statue of Liberty?” Could be a good question to lead into a chemistry lesson, but it’s pretty clear that’s not what’s happening here,

  the fact that the lessons plans repeat thing 3 times. As well as including &quot;apperciate&quot; as a grading criteria. Is truly cult like.

  The other &apos;joy&apos; of poor, uninspiring lessons is that classroom management becomes impossible as kids will misbehave if unengaged.

  Native Texan here: What happened is that a single State Board of Education member announced that PragerU was coming to classrooms. Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Board of Education leadership said she went rogue, and that there were no plans now or in the immediate future to let public school teachers use it, and that the company hadn&apos;t even submitted educational materials to the state for review. So PragerU is staying out of Texas classrooms. For now.

  As a Florida resident, it does not surprise me in the slightest that Florida would consider PragerU a perfectly acceptable form of education. Please help us.

  It&apos;s low hanging fruit to destroy PragerU from a political angle. Seeing it done from an educational one is so satisfying.

  Watching your brain explode over terrible lesson plans as your cat unendingly showers you with affection is a brand new form of unintentional comedy.

  &quot;This lesson is for 6th graders.&quot;<br>If any teacher presented that lesson to 6th graders, they&apos;d be ripped to shreds for treating their students like idiots, BY their students.
