School Sucks! and other observations.

"We don't need no education,
We don't need no thought control." - Pink Floyd (Another Brick in the Wall part.2)


This section is devoted to Education. As a former High School teacher, I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly side of public education. I have found 5 principles that are completely ignored by Education specialists. Taking these principles to heart would, I believe, make a radical difference in public education.

Nichomachean Ethics

1. School is NOT Day Care!

 

Most parents love it when their kids start kindergarten, it means day care costs will decline.

2. Quantity is NOT Quality!

 

Why are there 10th graders who read like 2nd graders?

3. You do NOT have a right to an education!

 

Education is not a guaranteed right by any constitution

4. Education does NOT create society!

 

What the heck are we teaching our kids any ways?

5. Society DOES create education!

 

The real reason our schools suck: You can tell a lot about a society simply by looking at its schools.
