Reply #9: Leaving education behind [View All]

[JBirch]

This thread should be filed under the heading "Be careful what you wish for....". We have been sold a bill of goods in public education. We have been told to leave education to the "professionals" and this is what we get. We have lost track of one important truth: The education of my kids is MY responsibility, not the government's. If my kids are not getting a good education, then it is my responsibility to fix the problem. The reason that "public" education is in such a mess is that the federal government is involved (which it is not authorized by the constitution to be involved in.) The public school system was designed to get everyone to thing alike. That is the only thing that it is doing well. So instead of turning out people who know how to think, it is creating millions of "sheaple" (people + sheep), who mindlessly go to work each day, pay taxes, gripe at the government, watch the news on tv, go to bed, and wake up the next morning to do it all over again. A wise man I met one time told me something that has had a profound effect on me: If you keep doin' what you been doin', you gonna keep gettin' what you been gettin'.
