Quote by: Athena  government and education |
U.S. Government should set the level of education for primary and secondary schools as a mandatory one, with no exception.
The level of education - as we see today in public schools - is a mockery.
That level should be twice higher, at least (!) , with separate subjects for chemistry, biology, geography, physics, zoology, etc. and not taken as 1 to create a joke like "Social Studies".
Policies like - "No Child Left Behind" - blah, blah, along with others should be canceled. A young person needs to understand that a school is not an excuse but a mandatory obligation to the Nation that individual may be held responsible one day to.
No tests.
Written proof of knowledge.
Writting is yet another subject itself. Majority of students writes horribly simple words, sentences, where complex expression seems to be on the egde of nuclear-physics, not to mention expression itself.
Example :
Letter "t" is mostly written as a sign that resembles a "cross".
Letter "I" (read : Iceland) is mixed with other symbols and can be taken for number "1" , capital letter "I" , letter "l" (read : letter).
My bet : majority of guys would have problems to write letters correctly.
U.S. education system is a state of half-illiteracy, in real world, as of today.
What U.S. government should be obligated to ?
Provide parents and/or guardians with sufficient funds, as a mandatory (!)
As you see, U.S. governing body provides big f... , instead.
Why ?
If majority of population is well educated, than there comes uncertian point of concern :
- power of reigns
Because, a well educated nation would Never allow Any governing body to proceed with Anything but People's demands.
What do you want, then :
- well educated nation, with prosperity for all
- less educated nation, with prosperity for some
??? :-)
And a point aside :
- what makes you so comfortable that well-educated nation would reach the correct decision ?
No assurance, so far, since we all belong to the same species : Homo Sapiens. And as pages of History show, we are so talented and capable of break-through imbecility that we can destroy everything and anything, even ourselves :-)
