YOU HEAR A LOT OF BULLSHIT ABOUT THE STATE OF EDUCATION IN AMERICA...WHAT'S WRONG...ETC ETC...?
BUT NO ONE EVER CUTS TO THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM...
CONSIDER:
1...AMERICAN CULTURE DOES NOT VALUE EDUCATION ....IT HATES IT... AT EVERY LEVEL AN AMERICAN CHILD IS TOLD THAT EDUCATED PEOPLE ARE FREAKS AND GEEKS...AND "UNPOPULAR"... AMERICANS VAULE SPORTS AND POPULARITY ...NOT INTELLECTUAL ABILITY...
BUT WHAT ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES...? IN CHINA...THE "MANDARIN SYSTEM" HAS BEEN AROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS... THIS SYSTEM PICKED GOVERNMENTAL LEADERS FROM AMONG THE EDUCATED CLASSES...AND THERE WHERE ACTUAL TESTS THAT HAD TO BE PASSED TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL...
IN INDIA THE "BRAHMINS" WHERE THE RELIGIOUS AND INTELLECTUAL LEADERS OF THE INDIAN CULTURE...AGAIN A SYSTEM THAT IS THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD...
IS IT ANY WONDER THAT CHINA AND INDIA ARE KICKING AMERICANS ASS IN EDUCATION...
FACE IT...THE AVERAGE AMERICAN WOULD RATHER HAVE THEIR KID BE THE QUARTERBACK OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM...THAN THE VALEDICTORIAN OF THE CLASS...MOST OF WHOM ARE FOREIGNERS EVEN NOW...!
GET REAL ASSHOLES...!
2. AMERICANS ARE GENETICALLY INFERIOR TO OTHER NATIONS... AMERICA WAS POPULATED WHEN EUROPE FLUSHED ITS GENETIC TOILET ON THE THE SHORES OF AMERICA IN THE 19TH CENTURY... MOST OF THESE IMMIGRANTS WERE THE UNEMPLOYED, THE CRIMINAL, THE IGNORANT AND THE MENTALLY DEFECTIVE OR ADDICTED... AND THEN THERE WAS A HUGE IN POURING OF THE SLAVES FROM AFRICA...!
NOT EXACTLY THE KIND OF FOLKS TO BE AT THE HEAD OF THE CLASS...
3.....THE AMERICAN EDUCTION SYSTEM IS A WARMED OVER VERSION OF THE ENGLISH PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT WAS INTENTED TO "EDUCATE" THE CHILDREN OF THE IDLE ARISTOCRATS IN THE 19TH CENTURY...WITH GREAT EMPHASIS ON POETRY, HISTORY AND THE ARTS...
BUT NONE OF THIS IS RELEVANT TO AMERICAN KIDS TODAY...WHO FIND SCHOOL BORING...AND IT IS ...! BECAUSE IT DOESN'T RELATE TO THE REAL WORLD ... THAT KIDS LIVE IN...
OK...WHATS THE ANSWER....?
1. RECOGNIZE THE GENETIC INFERIORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND LOWER EXPECTATIONS...
2. LOWER THE DROP OUT AGE TO 14 .... THEN CUT THESE KIDS LOOSE TO ATTEND VOCATIONAL OR CRAFT TRAINING OPTIONS...OR GO TO WORK IN THE NEW LOW WAGE AMERICAN SERVICE ECONOMY.
3. SET UP SKILLS TRAINING SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT ACADEMIC...AND DEAL WITH CRAFTS AND VOCATIONS AND SMALL SCALE SELLING.... MANY "FAILING" KIDS WILL RELATE TO THIS TYPE OF "PRACTICAL" EDUCATION WHO NOW SIMPLY DO NOT RELATE TO THE OLD SCHOOL ENGLISH SYSTEM OF ARTS AND SCIENCES... SORT OF A MODERN SYSTEM OF APPRENTICESHIP...
AMERICA NEEDS TO COME TO GRIPS WITH ITS STUPIDITY...AND ITS CULTURAL AND GENETIC INFERIORITY TO THE REST OF THE WORLD...ESPECIALLY IN ASIA...
OTHERWISE...WE JUST CONTINUE TO BULLSHIT FROM CRISIS TO CRISIS...WITH NO HOPE OF A REALITY BASED SOLUTION...
