Education Sucks

I really despise our public school systems. For someone as un-smart as myself I’ve figured out how to “beat” them… that says a lot. Oh, and (as mentioned in Paul Graham’s article) our schools act more like prisons. Oh, and now we’re only going to teach the few things fom the national tests. Oh, and I can go on all night. Excuse the blunt remark but as far as education (and remaining competitive) is concerned: the U.S. is fucked.

    I read your snipet and agreed. As a life long learner, I am always trying to be “educated”. “Smart people” don’t make the same mistakes over and over. “Educated people” don’t make the mistake in the first place. If I teach the child that it’s bad to stick things in outlets, then they will never suffer thru the lesson by ignoring the lesson.

    I would suggest that you might rephrase.

    “Gumamint Publik Skools are akin the Post Office running a prison.”

    It’s not education, or schools, or learing, that you should be commenting on. It’s the government involved in anything.
    If they can’t keep drugs out of their prisions, then why do we have a drug war? And on, and on, and on.

    imho, your mileage can and will vary,

    [...] FIRO-B « MSFT Dividend Math Published 4 minutes ago –> » I found this to be extremely interesting: an article about stupid students protesting the anti-immigration legislation. Flying the flag upside down, ironically, demonstrates distress… not disrespect. As another reader pointed out, it’s also ironic that “…these young men and women are enjoying their educations on the back of the American taxpayer at a public school, while denigrating the country that provides these benefits to them.” I guess that’s fitting; our public schools don’t teach good sense. Sigh. One of my largest pet peeves has always been “people who make up for intelligence with volume.” Yell louder when that’s all you have going for you… Personally, I blame the French.
