Students need to learn important life skills to prosper outside of schools. Schools are great places in combating social and economic problems, as all people go to schools. People need to know about the risks and how to of finances, live a healthy life, become critical thinkers. Just a few examples. Schools need to teach these life skills, as well as the basics and advance education. But schools also should not always focus on academics not all people with go to uni. multi-pathways are needed.
Every nation needs a public (government) school system. In Australia, Japan and Europe The government school systems work very well. of course theirs issues but this occurs in all organisations public or private. Any school system in a nation should be standard across the nation not state or local. A standard National curriculum and this curriculum needs to be design by experts in Education and Learning. Schools are great places of learning and social improvements or antisocial prevention.
Reggie, you hit the nail on the head. the educational system destroys critical thinking but even more sinister than that, the bankers were behind the design of educational curricula and they designed it to make young people obedient and docile. have you ever read any John Taylor Gatto about the history of education? check out Gatto's works. and parenting? you're on point again. Rockefellers funded women's liberation movement to create latch-key kids.
I thought they would teach kind of different in Southern states, I'm from Southern California and I agree with you. I'm a junior and I am not liking the stuff their teaching us, so unintersting not going to help, i read stuff online and watch videos like yours, and i feel like i have more knowledge than most kids.
100% true i go to school im in 12 grade and i sit there and to the same bullcrap from 10 grade its really making me mad the work sucks all i do is copy the same bullcrap that i already know 100 times over i want to drop out to be a carpenture and a mechanic and be usefull iv gone to a trade school for 3 years but now im just wasting my time when i could make more money to prepair myself for the outside world
i have a theory " it goes back to the birth of the nation." the people in charge, maybe the masons figured out that the number of smart people should be controlled so that the wealth only goes toselect few, particularly in the families of the rich. "THAT IS WHY EDUCATION IS EXPENSIVE AND YET INFERIOR" U HAVE TO GO TO REALLY MORE EXPENSIVE SCHOOLS TO GET A DECENT ONE". so the rich will always control the dumber majority.
Bullshit. it is the kids and the parents that are the weak link. Asian kids dominate because they value education. stop being weak and work hard to equal the Asian kids commitment to education. it is no one fault but your own. the only valid excuses is you did not try hard enough.
@MrAppleseed88 Parents will fail because there's no prerequisites for becoming a parent. This is why schools need to be there to pick up the slack. They need to offer the stable, rigid system that these kids may not be getting at home. This is in hopes of repairing any possible broken "DNA" from learned behavior.
@nexus1g No. It is the parents duty to be good teachers and roll models for their kids. you do not have to give then the best of things, just the best of you and your time. Teach them to stay clean and dry work hard, and be kind. If you have skills teach them that and encurge their actives in the things they like so they can become the best they can be. It is not that hard. Stay clean, work hard, be kind... Duh.... How is that so hard to do?
@MrAppleseed88 For some parents out there, it seems impossible I suppose. Like I said, any crack ho can get pregnant. That's why it falls on the schools to give them order when there's chaos in the rest of their lives.
@nexus1g in case of crack hole state orphanages would do far better and get the kid away form the crack hole, and kill the dumb bitch on her 3rd strike.
The American public has been deliberately dumbed down so people at the top have more freedom to do what they want. The Elite Government system seeks to imprison the human psyche in the left brain, the "rational" intellect which only believes what it can see, touch, hear or smell. The education system and the media are structured for this and most teachers, lecturers, scientists and journalists are left brain prisoners. No critical thinking skills are taught. Just regurgitating the "facts".
America is such a beautiful country. england sucks. people dont care about there education in england. I wish i could lie in America. you are all lucky to live there. england is just so bad, its going down hill.
The problem I've seen time and time again in my experience going through public school and college is about the same as your statements. The teachers / professors spend their entire time trying to stifle critical thinking! I've spent weeks of research and writing to create an amazing well thought out report full of facts and evidence only to receive a low grade because the professor disagrees based on their opinion. Schools are just indoctrination centers now.
But here: "They don't really cover (insert here) in School..."
You can take out the "really" in that sentence because they DON'T clean, cut and simple. I would know because I graduated last year. Every useful thing I know I learned ON MY OWN TIME OUTSIDE SCHOOL. School did jack shit for me and I don't remember anything useful from it besides BASIC math! High School and College are Brainwashing factories; they teach you how to be a Slave, not how to THINK FOR YOURSELF.
@Freedomfighter1330 You graduated last year? That means you were 19 or 20 before you graduated high school. Given your use of the English language, I would say that the issue is you, not the school systems. Because you do learn to think for yourself and think critically if you "get" school.
I was going to say something but you alone totally devastated the U.S education system. Psalm 119:98-100 (King James Version) Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
Repair? Don't you know we are living in a throw away world? Have you heard of planned obsolesense? There's more money to be made from problems than solutions. The prison system in Calif is one of the most profitable businesses in the state. I think that better assessment should be taken at an early age & adress the problems early on. Put the children where they need to be according to their needs. For me the education system was like an assembly line. Rejects thrown to the side and ignored.
allright, I like the part about exams, I was saying just the same, it seems like kids simply study to pass tests, not get tested on what they learned.
but its interesting how the system is set up to have more people in the science and math fields with what schools are promoting in required classes now, all so we can have more technology, gadgets, space exploration, faster bigger "so called better" cars, laptops, video games, guns, computers, etc. but given what's coming we won't be able to afford these gadgets and technology all it will do is destroy things, more than it has, and keep humans from higher consciousness.
I think students go to school to get good jobs. Jobs that pay over minimum wage, so people don't think too much, just have the "skills" to work a job, to promote the system. I've noticed that the emphasis in schools now is put on science and math, not on thinking, consciousness, self expression, nature, history, ancient cilivizations, etc. The system wants more scientists, more engineers, more doctors, lawyers, not more thinkers, revolutionaries, artists.
I am very excited that you brought this up. Being born in 1987 I never had a chance at a proper education, not in the public schools at least. But I have a quote to share that to me fits perfectly. "The process of education, once described by Mark Hopkins as a teacher sitting on a log talking to his student, has become in too many cases the teacher sitting on his student and talking to the log." Thomas J. Sergiovanni, Robert J. Starratt, Emerging Patterns of Supervision
the school system is designed to keep people in the paradigm, not to teach them real world skills and stop young people from thinking outside the box. You are correct.
Well you already know, that in a credit/consumer society we don't teach people how to fix things, merely to replace them - and if they don't have the cash to replace it, use the credit card. The new American way, Borrow, spend, rinse, repeat.
Improve the educational system in this country? Ain't gonna happen, bro. It is too far gone. The teachers suck, the unions suck more, the progressives are ruining the classroom content and they own it all. You would have to seize the educational process and permanently fire most of the administrators and teachers involved. Ain't gonna happen. It is dead.
I pulled my three children out of public schools in San Antonio, Texas and homeschooled them. El Dorado Elementary School ignored as my son was bullied repeatedly, but he was punished by the teachers and administration when he fought back. I removed both of my daughters from Madison High School in San Antonio shortly thereafter because they were in a class in fifth period together, and the teacher had to take a loaded gun away from a fellow student. Without safety, there can be no education.
dude the problem with the education system in this country is that it is responsable to create minds..NO BAD PARENT! chools are a tool available to parents. Parents need to educate there kids before and after they get out of school. If parents would do their jobs we wouldnt have these problems. If my children fail in life its because I failed, not the gov. or the school! just my 2 cents.
Our government/society is trying to fit kids into a Industry Mass Production style of learning, and kids are not like that. One size does not fit all.
The best thing you can do for a child is to read to them everyday from the day they come home from the hospital and all the way up to the age of SEVEN. When you read to a child you program their brains for complex language processing. Reading expands the childs vocabulary. Reading increases the child's ability to visualize and to use their imagination to problem solve. Read to a child in the first SEVEN YEARS of life and you increase their chances for high success in life.
There are other cases.... like when a teacher calls a parent to ask why "kid" wasn't in school today/last week/etc. which just gets "kid" beaten-up/abused some more. Which may be why they withdrew, in the first place, from school and life. Rabbit holes run deep. If you don't like heat; don't become a cook. Talking teachers and parents. And cooks.
Kids are bored and have no interests. Most of them think they know everything and wont' listen to anyone. They really don't respect anyone enough to listen. Kids these days don't know how to peel an apple, or open the refrigerator and find something to eat.. They'd rather starve if they can't find someone to do it for them.
The way we teach children is a disgrace. Imagine having twenty-five 4 year olds without a second teacher. Imagine parents who never show their faces once to the school or reading a book to THEIR child. Imagine teaching with outdated books. Imagine one teacher is fired because she went and told the principal that another teacher was drinking on the job. That drunk teacher was the aunt of the asst. principal. NO MORE NEPOTISM. I believe we need to be held to a higher standard.
Then there is the Federal Government and Special interests working to take control of kids away from parents so they can fill that roll and indoctrinate kids so they will support them when they get older. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, they don't want that to be the parents any more ... they want it to be "the Village" which means the government because they claim that's the people.
Parents can't train and discipline kids any more with much authority or big brother gets them.
K-12 the biggest problem is clearly 2 things, a tie between Unionization and Federalization. Both of those factors tend to waste money and do a terrible job. Unions focus on getting more for less, and they could care less about the kids. Feds focus on increasing their roll in the process, and their own profit from the situation, again, not thinking about the kids or the tax payers as any kind of priority. It's about special interests groups who contribute and Unions is one of those, and crazies.
Well, I guess you could say it wasn't entirely the war that ended the depression, although it did help many of the "numbers". No more unemployeed men, they're all employeed by the military, the fed started pumping out credit like it was going out of fashion to pay for planes, bombs, etc. The new deal was replaced with the military industrial deal. The destruction of pretty much all of Europe helped the USA comparitively.
What do you think ended the great depression, if not the war?
@bweazel I suppose it was all those resources left over for use after the war ended. All the materials, equipment, and labor left over from previously being used for the war effort during the war were now put to use for producing things of use inside of the country which led to more jobs, more resources, and ultimately less poverty or loss of wealth.
The military led to less poverty and the war was one of the most lucretive times for American businessmen in the history of our country. I still don't understand why you all are trying to behave as though the war did not make the entire world forget about the depression. Once the fed opened the gates, the depression stopped. In much the same fashion as we've seen over the past two years. Just this time, we didn't need a war. Derivatives took care of it. ;)
@bweazel lol Derivatives. The closest the military has come to leading to less poverty is when it PRODUCED things that the U.S.A. or other countries found useful. Jobs, companies, and occupations that produce things of use are where the wealth is for an individual or a nation and things like wars helped to enable this. All derivatives are mainly just complicated financial instruments that produce little more than confusion and are no better than worthless paper in establishing wealth.
Don't argue with me like I am in disagreement with you. They are a sham, but you're not looking at them correctly. You seem to be looking at them in more of a jealous, blaming them for the "recession" kind of way. They quite possibly could be the reason this has been a somewhat soft depression, instead of a 30s style depression. Money is not just aimlessly being pumped into the system in hopes that things will inflate. This thing has structure to it.
.... Are you serious? So that 5 million man standing army we had in the 40s didn't help to reduce unemployment? Or the guns, bullets, planes, tanks, bombs that were being made didn't help reduce unemployment to under 2% for the entirety of the USAs involvement in the war? I'll put it to you this way, the fed ended the depression, the war made it a sustainable recovery.
Haha, sure, get mad at derivatives if you want, that doesn't mean that they are "worthless" though.
@bweazel I am not getting mad at derivatives, just saying that they are not a real measure of real wealth. You could have a million shares in a company, but if the company is bankrupt and going out of business, those shares you have in the company are worthless. As for the military, if the army weren't involved in making things that we could really use, then they were no better than your typical white collar office job or government job, which actually costs more money than it makes.
Nothing is a measure of real wealth anymore. Not even the gold whores last hope is a storage of true wealth anymore. Are you trying to argue that the 1's and 0's in your bank account, or the cash in your pocket, is any more "real" than a derivative or futures contract? The military is a consumer, it is also one of the largest employers in our country. Why are you trying to play like working for the military isn't a job? It serves its purpose. Stop drinking the Schiff kool-aide.
@bweazel Natural resources and materials IS a measure of real wealth. I don't see my bank account or derivatives or futures contracts as sources of real wealth either, especially when they are based in dollars. Working in the military is a job, but is it a job that actually helps to produce wealth? I don't know about you but I'm not interested in taking a job just for the sake of having a job and keeping busy. I can find plenty of things outside of a job to keep me busy.
Wrong. You do not live in 1920. Do you get that? There are no such thing as commodity notes anymore, there is no such thing as a gold standard, there is no such thing except for fiat systems all across this world. You do not live in a value based system and until you accept that fact, you are not going to be able to understand the economy you live in, period.
@bweazel I got that and part of the problem as to why we are having so many problems with the dollar is BECAUSE we have no more gold standard. Almost all fiat currencies are depreciating especially when measured in gold.
Blah blah blah, again, look around you, do you see anyone in this world that is on the gold standard? No. This whole system is about the delicate management of lies. That's it. So stop treating it like it's some valuable system that has anything at all behind it, except the full faith and credit of the bankrupt world. Which has been bankrupt for the last 65+ years.
You guys are getting on my nerves. Speculation (futures contracts) controls the price of gold. Not inflation.
@bweazel Once again, it is because nobody's on the gold standard as to why many fiat currencies are steadily depreciating. I thought it was YOU who was treating the whole system as though it was valuable and had anything behind it as you keep prattling on about useless financial instruments like derivatives. I don't really care for the system personally.
I could rephrase what you just said as: because no government on the planet is bound by tangible goods anymore, is the reason for depreciating currencies. We are bound by promises, period. Like I said, it's a balacning act of lies. Who can lie the most and still manage to keep their people from revolting wins. Or, who has the most friends with the most guns, wins. Don't let them bring you into their faux complexity.
@bweazel Yes, the point I was trying to make in them not having the gold standard is that the governments with fiat currencies need to back their currencies with something that is real and tangible and that they can't just make out of thin air. They could back their currencies with sea shells and their currencies would have more value then than they do now being backed by nothing with but promises. I don't care about being filthy rich or anything, I just want the money I work for to go far.
Well maybe you should stop believing in that fallacy, money cannot work for you, since it is inherently worthless. That kind of thinking by the baby boomers got us into this state we are in today. They sold out their childrens' futures for a better retirement. ;) Hippies turned enablers. Oh the irony. Let's hope we get it right this time and not be a bunch of hypocritical sellouts.
@bweazel I didn't say anything about my money working for me, I said I want the money that I work for going far in the sense that I only need a little of this money to get everything I need for food, housing, and everyday expenses. Once we get back to sound money outside of the dollar, this will be very possible.
Hmmm. Well as long as you think of money as "your right to purchase", it doesn't matter what they tell you it's backed by or how many regulations they put on the production of it, it's still all going to lead back to a system, which you're a slave to. You think by telling people they can't make promises to others, this will fix the system? I think you'd be surprised how much of this isn't about "value", but about law. Fiat.
@bweazel I know the current system is largely based on law and government, so I am not really surprised about anything you are saying here and am rather bored with it actually. I am only bothering to respond to all this so that this video will be more likely to end up on the 'most discussed' list. People will eventually start using another means payment and currency that is outside of the current dollar based system if they haven't already.
Not trying to surprise you, just trying to offer an opposing view to the same crap, heartless system we humans have been tryring, and failing at for the last.... 2000 years.
Well, I hope everyone starts using a different system as well. I think we're probably talking about the same things anyways, just different contexts.
@bweazel What would you use for money, as a form of payment that is relatively scarce, doesn't rot or corrode, can be made into smaller denominations, and can be used over and over again without needing to be replaced?
Oh, if I had it my way I wouldn't use money. I think it's a testament to our vanity as a species. And so long as we prefer to be slaves, I don't see anything wrong with our reserve notes as currency. I see these types of arguments in defense of montary systems all the time, "well what would you suggest we use?" Nothing. ;)
@bweazel Ok, so how are you going to get things that you want or need that you don't have but that another person has? Sounds like you're the sort who will resort to bartering, which only goes so far and only works as long as everyone has something another person wants.
You think our economies are based on demand? Hmmmm, interesting. Too bad they're based on supply. So really, as it is now, nothing is based on anybody's wants. I think we'd all be surprised how the "wants" in peoples lives changed in a different system. Yes. I'm the sort that resorts to batering. As of now, I can satisfy pretty much all my needs with trading services and the better tech gets, the easier that will become.
@bweazel Wrong, they're based on supply AND demand. You can have plenty of something but if nobody else wants it or has a need for it, you are pretty much stuck with it. But if you have something in limited supply that's in high demand, and they have something you want that you demand, business is good. Bartering has its limits and you will eventually have to resort to other systems that are more convenient and efficient which I was alluding to in my last comment.
Does the military produce wealth.... are you kidding? They sure helped BP out, helped exxon out. They're not there to help us, they're there to help the corporations. Does it suck? Yes. Is your view point blinding your from seeing the reality of these situations? Yes.
I'd say about 80-85% of jobs in this world exist to give people something to do, agian, this isn't a value based world, it's a fiat nanny state. The more technology improves, the higher that percentage will get. You ready? ;)
For the third time, put down the Schiff-aide. Production alone cannot solve this crisis. You do realize that it doesn't take many people to make a car anymore right, you do realize that it took tons of people to make a car not 30 years ago. This story can be told over and over again for every industry in this country. It doesn't take many people to do anything anymore. Technology produces now, not people. So if you'd like us to throw away all the tech and go back to production lines cool.
@bweazel Don't confuse financial paper or financial instruments with real wealth, the kind of wealth you find in owning fertile land, property, materials, and real money as can be found in silver and gold.
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Listen, I don't like the way it's all set up either, but at least I understand it. You are preaching archaic ways of economies, somehow I don't think those methods hold up against technology. So, with that on the table, any other ideas to save the world?
Gold and silver are about as valuable/worthless as iron and steel. I don't think you have any idea for what is in store for the future. This world is about to grow up, fast. Are you ready?
@bweazel I do know what I'm talking about, but you don't seem to. You seem to be one of those people who think info technology is going to be the way out of the financial mess we have here and that's not necessarily the case. We need a bit more than info technology to get us out of the mess that we're in. With rising population growth, things like land, water, and food, are going to be even more valuable than ever before.
You know pieces. And you're getting so angry at some of those pieces, you're not moving onto the piece that spawned them. Keep going. Hahahaha. What financial mess? You mean that "mess" the news has been pushing on you for 2 years now? Since when did the stock market become the economy? You even bothered asking yourself these questions yet? It's sad people get their news from the economy from the media, instead of from their consumers.
@bweazel Who's getting angry? I thought we were just two people typing text responses on a web page. I don't bother to ask myself those questions because I don't regard the stock market as the economy and haven't for almost 10 years now and I am not going to bother with it now. You seem to only know pieces yourself. Nobody's interested in having a job just for the sake of it. You get a job for the money it pays and right now, some of those jobs aren't paying much.
@bweazel Guns, bullets, planes, tanks, and bombs all require resources in materials and labor. The materials and labor that went into making these guns, bullets, planes, and tanks could all be used to make and produce other things that have nothing to do with war. The materials and labor that produced things is where the wealth is. When you don't produce anything and only provide services, that's when you start to end up with the kind of financial situation America is in now.
Right, but the thing you keep failing to admit, is that they also require people to use them, people to fly them, people to fire them. There's where the job of military comes in. Again, I don't like the military either, but that doesn't mean I'm going to play like they aren't a "job".
You've drank so much schiff-aide that you forget the people who produce are there because of the people who consume. You cannot produce your way out of a recession, especially when no one can buy your goods.
@bweazel Whatever, call it Schiff-aide all you want but he does have some valid points in that America doesn't produce enough on a competitive scale. The only reason why I am bothering with silver and gold is that 1) I can make things with them and 2) I can use them to help maintain my purchasing power outside of the U.S..
No, he really doesn't. He called the crash. Whoopty, he obviously has no idea what is happening now. Is he in charge? No. Is he making decisions on what to do now? No. So his guess is about as good as yours, or mine, or anyones. He is preaching OLD economic policies. Production capacity and competition are diverging, pretty much, monetarism is failing. This is a whole new ball game, we've never seen something like this before.
@bweazel Actually, if you read some of his books from beginning to end, you will see that he is not just talking about OLD economic policies. He is talking about America producing things that the world actually wants and can USE that they can't easily produce in other countries besides intellectual property.
@bweazel He also goes on to mention the value of being highly skilled be it in the form of advanced video editing, computer programming, software engineering, or any other form of engineering and design, among other fields. If you have any of these kinds of skills, he goes on to say that you are less likely to have a problem finding work or a good job in the future.
@bweazel These are products that people use at little cost to those that make them and use them. So yes, I would consider those who made Google and Facebook producers. I see those who made Twitter also as producers of a sort. As these sites help people network and share ideas which in turn can lead to things even more productive.
We definitely have some definitions to rewrite. Is something that can be produced once and used over and over by millions of people at the same time a product? I would hardly consider a webpage a product, even if it is a very handy and convenient webpage. If I were to really reach far on this one, isn't the web server the one that's doing all the producing? ;) Damn you technology! Making that gap between labor and consumers bigger by the day.
@bweazel I've been saying all this time that as long as a person, company, or nation is producing something that people use and want, there is some wealth or at least some money to be made there.
@bweazel Also, it requires some highly technical skill to design something like software or an interactive web page that many people want and can use.
You can make things? Like what? Necklaces? Rings? Electric components? I believe that's the only value any material will have in the future, what it can be used for. Gold, sitting in piles, as a storage of wealth.. Right... Not a snowballs chance in hell. Like I said, this world is going to grow up quickly, soon. When you think about how much gold we have out of the ground, and how much it is actually needed... the true value of gold drops thru the floor. Purcashing power. hahahah. So funny. ;)
@bweazel Well, I would rather have some silver on hand that everyone can find some use for around the world than to be holding piles of dollar bills that nobody outside of the U.S.A. really wants as evidenced by the rising prices of things in dollar terms outside of the U.S.A.
The reason America is in this problem now, is due to many reasons that have been laid out over 100 years, which should tell us all this is on purpose and isn't just natural.
You're not solving for technology, it seems you are completely leaving tech out of your equations in your head. Add it in there, add in solving exponential problems and how you would stave off that inescapable end. ... derivatives perhaps? ;)
Couldn't agree with you more. The entire system is man made. It's a control system, from taxes all the way to the money in your account you think has value behind it.
I see it's been a deliberate dumbing down & propagandization. They want dependent population
The Middle East and Europeans invest a lot into Colleges and they control a lot of what goes on, more and more. They teach idiot erroneous economics, which is proven not to be true and they don't teach facts demonstrated through empirical demonstration over and over again
Tax cuts raise the amounts of revenues brought in, we don't know optimum level because it's never been hit, they don't teach that
All the government cares about is that you are capable of running in your hamster wheel for the rest of your life, and you will believe thier lies. The incentives go to the churches. Faith based incentives.. If you are foolish enough to believe that bullshit, you can believe anything the government can dish out.
The problem with the educational system is the National Education Association and liberal teachers looking out for themselves. Nice neighborhood Demcad.
love your channel Demcad, I subscribe to about 15 hair care subscription, few gospel, but when I sign on to youtube, I look forward to seeing a video from you. I learn so much from you.
Completely repeal NCLB and then disband the US Department of Education. Those two things will return control back to the local schools and will solve 75% of the problems discussed in this video.
We need to wean states off the Federal cocaine known as the Federal Reserve Note and decentralize the federal government. This will solve another 75% of problems we have today.
reg,wwll didnt end the depression,but military is big business,and business is booming.while doing my time in the army,i noticed everything from socks to sheets.military contracts.education.lack of a moral society stimulates decline.
I have looked at this education system for years and recently found the answer.
The biggest problem is that we teach children to FEAR making mistakes.The problem is that we can't learn and succeed unless we learn from our mistakes like the Wright Brothers,Edision did.
Read "If You Want To Be Rich And Happy Don't Go To School" By Robert. ???
This millionaire has figured out the way to success and how our education system should work to make kids grow and succeed and become rich.
SO DEMCAD do we need better public schools or better parents? Your videos are kinda jumbled thoughts and confusing. Try a outline like I learned in middle school.
Schools stopped producing "Educated" people when they started to be seen as "Training" grounds for people to be prepared for the jobs and entering the workforce. They are NOT the same thing.
DEMCAD It's hard to believe that our society has become so sick that only 60% graduate. In my day only a few did not. I also went to school in Europe. The eviquilent senior class level English Lit. studied Shakespeare. We also had German and French. Translating from those languages to my adopted language, Danish, then into English, made those classes very difficult in the beginning. We should be ashamed, but it is only a symptom of the bigger problem.
The Students should have a part in rating the teacher. Most students I believe will give a fair evaluation of the teacher. The teacher's union has gone too far. I'm not against unions but there must be middle ground. Public employee's pensions are out of control and must be greatly reduced. I'd go farther as to not have defined benefit plans but defined contributions instead. *****
Well, you talked about a lot of it, but there is definitely a conflict of interesting having the Federal government in charge of our school system. I'm for making things far more local, like it used to be. I"m also for home schooling and private schools. I think they are far more effective for a lot less cost. The rest of it just as to do with parenting and morality.

I actually think we are focusing to hard on sience and math and not enough on creativity and stratigic thinking. I think if you look at many inventors, great business people, and inovators they start with a passion and then get the skills to make there possion there calling. I am not against math and sience I think intereast in them come with what intereasts you.
@neanam it is funny. I laughed too. The generation-repeating problem of letting adults be children and children be adults is one giant factor in the American down-fall.
Students need to learn important life skills to prosper outside of schools. Schools are great places in combating social and economic problems, as all people go to schools. People need to know about the risks and how to of finances, live a healthy life, become critical thinkers. Just a few examples. Schools need to teach these life skills, as well as the basics and advance education. But schools also should not always focus on academics not all people with go to uni. multi-pathways are needed.

Every nation needs a public (government) school system. In Australia, Japan and Europe The government school systems work very well. of course theirs issues but this occurs in all organisations public or private. Any school system in a nation should be standard across the nation not state or local. A standard National curriculum and this curriculum needs to be design by experts in Education and Learning. Schools are great places of learning and social improvements or antisocial prevention.

Reggie, you hit the nail on the head. the educational system destroys critical thinking but even more sinister than that, the bankers were behind the design of educational curricula and they designed it to make young people obedient and docile. have you ever read any John Taylor Gatto about the history of education? check out Gatto's works. and parenting? you're on point again.

@MrAppleseed88 Parents will fail because there's no prerequisites for becoming a parent. This is why schools need to be there to pick up the slack.

The American public has been deliberately dumbed down so people at the top have more freedom to do what they want. The Elite Government system seeks to imprison the human psyche in the left brain, the "rational" intellect which only believes what it can see, touch, hear or smell. The education system and the media are structured for this and most teachers, lecturers, scientists and journalists are left brain prisoners. No critical thinking skills are taught. Just regurgitating the "facts".

I think students go to school to get good jobs. Jobs that pay over minimum wage, so people don't think too much, just have the "skills" to work a job, to promote the system. I've noticed that the emphasis in schools now is put on science and math, not on thinking, consciousness, self expression, nature, history, ancient cilivizations, etc. The system wants more scientists, more engineers, more doctors, lawyers, not more thinkers, revolutionaries, artists.

The best thing you can do for a child is to read to them everyday from the day they come home from the hospital and all the way up to the age of SEVEN. When you read to a child you program their brains for complex language processing. Reading expands the childs vocabulary. Reading increases the child's ability to visualize and to use their imagination to problem solve. Read to a child in the first SEVEN YEARS of life and you increase their chances for high success in life.

K-12 the biggest problem is clearly 2 things, a tie between Unionization and Federalization. Both of those factors tend to waste money and do a terrible job. Unions focus on getting more for less, and they could care less about the kids. Feds focus on increasing their roll in the process, and their own profit from the situation, again, not thinking about the kids or the tax payers as any kind of priority. It's about special interests groups who contribute and Unions is one of those, and crazies.

Well, I guess you could say it wasn't entirely the war that ended the depression, although it did help many of the "numbers". No more unemployeed men, they're all employeed by the military, the fed started pumping out credit like it was going out of fashion to pay for planes, bombs, etc. The new deal was replaced with the military industrial deal. The destruction of pretty much all of Europe helped the USA comparitively.
What do you think ended the great depression, if not the war?
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel I suppose it was all those resources left over for use after the war ended. All the materials, equipment, and labor left over from previously being used for the war effort during the war were now put to use for producing things of use inside of the country which led to more jobs, more resources, and ultimately less poverty or loss of wealth.
chiyerano 1 year ago
The military led to less poverty and the war was one of the most lucretive times for American businessmen in the history of our country. I still don't understand why you all are trying to behave as though the war did not make the entire world forget about the depression. Once the fed opened the gates, the depression stopped. In much the same fashion as we've seen over the past two years. Just this time, we didn't need a war. Derivatives took care of it. ;)
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel lol Derivatives. The closest the military has come to leading to less poverty is when it PRODUCED things that the U.S.A. or other countries found useful. Jobs, companies, and occupations that produce things of use are where the wealth is for an individual or a nation and things like wars helped to enable this. All derivatives are mainly just complicated financial instruments that produce little more than confusion and are no better than worthless paper in establishing wealth.

Don't argue with me like I am in disagreement with you. They are a sham, but you're not looking at them correctly.

They quite possibly could be the reason this has been a somewhat soft depression, instead of a 30s style depression. Money is not just aimlessly being pumped into the system in hopes that things will inflate. This thing has structure to it.
bweazel 1 year ago
.... Are you serious? So that 5 million man standing army we had in the 40s didn't help to reduce unemployment? Or the guns, bullets, planes, tanks, bombs that were being made didn't help reduce unemployment to under 2% for the entirety of the USAs involvement in the war? I'll put it to you this way, the fed ended the depression, the war made it a sustainable recovery.
Haha, sure, get mad at derivatives if you want, that doesn't mean that they are "worthless" though.
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel I am not getting mad at derivatives, just saying that they are not a real measure of real wealth. You could have a million shares in a company, but if the company is bankrupt and going out of business, those shares you have in the company are worthless. As for the military, if the army weren't involved in making things that we could really use, then they were no better than your typical white collar office job or government job, which actually costs more money than it makes.
chiyerano 1 year ago
Nothing is a measure of real wealth anymore. Not even the gold whores last hope is a storage of true wealth anymore. Are you trying to argue that the 1's and 0's in your bank account, or the cash in your pocket, is any more "real" than a derivative or futures contract? The military is a consumer, it is also one of the largest employers in our country. Why are you trying to play like working for the military isn't a job? It serves its purpose. Stop drinking the Schiff kool-aide.
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel Natural resources and materials IS a measure of real wealth. I don't see my bank account or derivatives or futures contracts as sources of real wealth either, especially when they are based in dollars. Working in the military is a job, but is it a job that actually helps to produce wealth? I don't know about you but I'm not interested in taking a job just for the sake of having a job and keeping busy. I can find plenty of things outside of a job to keep me busy.

@bweazel I got that and part of the problem as to why we are having so many problems with the dollar is BECAUSE we have no more gold standard. Almost all fiat currencies are depreciating especially when measured in gold.

Blah blah blah, again, look around you, do you see anyone in this world that is on the gold standard? No. This whole system is about the delicate management of lies. That's it.

I don't really care for the system personally.
chiyerano 1 year ago
I could rephrase what you just said as: because no government on the planet is bound by tangible goods anymore, is the reason for depreciating currencies. We are bound by promises, period.

Don't let them bring you into their faux complexity.
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel Yes, the point I was trying to make in them not having the gold standard is that the governments with fiat currencies need to back their currencies with something that is real and tangible and that they can't just make out of thin air. They could back their currencies with sea shells and their currencies would have more value then than they do now being backed by nothing with but promises. I don't care about being filthy rich or anything, I just want the money I work for to go far.

chiyerano 1 year ago
Hmmm. Well as long as you think of money as "your right to purchase", it doesn't matter what they tell you it's backed by or how many regulations they put on the production of it, it's still all going to lead back to a system, which you're a slave to. You think by telling people they can't make promises to others, this will fix the system? I think you'd be surprised how much of this isn't about "value", but about law. Fiat.

@bweazel Wrong, they're based on supply AND demand. You can have plenty of something but if nobody else wants it or has a need for it, you are pretty much stuck with it. But if you have something in limited supply that's in high demand, and they have something you want that you demand, business is good. Bartering has its limits and you will eventually have to resort to other systems that are more convenient and efficient which I was alluding to in my last comment.

Does the military produce wealth.... are you kidding? They sure helped BP out, helped exxon out. They're not there to help us, they're there to help the corporations. Does it suck? Yes. Is your view point blinding your from seeing the reality of these situations? Yes.
I'd say about 80-85% of jobs in this world exist to give people something to do, agian, this isn't a value based world, it's a fiat nanny state. The more technology improves, the higher that percentage will get. You ready? ;)
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel Yes, they are making wealth as long as they are PRODUCING something. I already see the reality of the situation. I wonder if you do, though.
chiyerano 1 year ago
For the third time, put down the Schiff-aide. Production alone cannot solve this crisis. You do realize that it doesn't take many people to make a car anymore right, you do realize that it took tons of people to make a car not 30 years ago. This story can be told over and over again for every industry in this country. It doesn't take many people to do anything anymore. Technology produces now, not people. So if you'd like us to throw away all the tech and go back to production lines cool.

@bweazel Don't confuse financial paper or financial instruments with real wealth, the kind of wealth you find in owning fertile land, property, materials, and real money as can be found in silver and gold.
chiyerano 1 year ago
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Listen, I don't like the way it's all set up either, but at least I understand it. You are preaching archaic ways of economies, somehow I don't think those methods hold up against technology. So, with that on the table, any other ideas to save the world?
Gold and silver are about as valuable/worthless as iron and steel. I don't think you have any idea for what is in store for the future. This world is about to grow up, fast. Are you ready?
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel I do know what I'm talking about, but you don't seem to. You seem to be one of those people who think info technology is going to be the way out of the financial mess we have here and that's not necessarily the case. We need a bit more than info technology to get us out of the mess that we're in. With rising population growth, things like land, water, and food, are going to be even more valuable than ever before.
chiyerano 1 year ago
You know pieces. And you're getting so angry at some of those pieces, you're not moving onto the piece that spawned them. Keep going. Hahahaha. What financial mess? You mean that "mess" the news has been pushing on you for 2 years now? Since when did the stock market become the economy? You even bothered asking yourself these questions yet? It's sad people get their news from the economy from the media, instead of from their consumers.
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel Who's getting angry? I thought we were just two people typing text responses on a web page. I don't bother to ask myself those questions because I don't regard the stock market as the economy and haven't for almost 10 years now and I am not going to bother with it now. You seem to only know pieces yourself. Nobody's interested in having a job just for the sake of it. You get a job for the money it pays and right now, some of those jobs aren't paying much.
chiyerano 1 year ago
@bweazel Guns, bullets, planes, tanks, and bombs all require resources in materials and labor. The materials and labor that went into making these guns, bullets, planes, and tanks could all be used to make and produce other things that have nothing to do with war. The materials and labor that produced things is where the wealth is. When you don't produce anything and only provide services, that's when you start to end up with the kind of financial situation America is in now.
chiyerano 1 year ago
Right, but the thing you keep failing to admit, is that they also require people to use them, people to fly them, people to fire them. There's where the job of military comes in. Again, I don't like the military either, but that doesn't mean I'm going to play like they aren't a "job".
You've drank so much schiff-aide that you forget the people who produce are there because of the people who consume. You cannot produce your way out of a recession, especially when no one can buy your goods.
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel Whatever, call it Schiff-aide all you want but he does have some valid points in that America doesn't produce enough on a competitive scale. The only reason why I am bothering with silver and gold is that 1) I can make things with them and 2) I can use them to help maintain my purchasing power outside of the U.S..
chiyerano 1 year ago
No, he really doesn't. He called the crash. Whoopty, he obviously has no idea what is happening now. Is he in charge? No. Is he making decisions on what to do now? No. So his guess is about as good as yours, or mine, or anyones. He is preaching OLD economic policies. Production capacity and competition are diverging, pretty much, monetarism is failing. This is a whole new ball game, we've never seen something like this before.
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel Actually, if you read some of his books from beginning to end, you will see that he is not just talking about OLD economic policies. He is talking about America producing things that the world actually wants and can USE that they can't easily produce in other countries besides intellectual property.
chiyerano 1 year ago
@bweazel He also goes on to mention the value of being highly skilled be it in the form of advanced video editing, computer programming, software engineering, or any other form of engineering and design, among other fields. If you have any of these kinds of skills, he goes on to say that you are less likely to have a problem finding work or a good job in the future.

So would you consider google or facebook to be producers?
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel These are products that people use at little cost to those that make them and use them. So yes, I would consider those who made Google and Facebook producers. I see those who made Twitter also as producers of a sort. As these sites help people network and share ideas which in turn can lead to things even more productive.
chiyerano 1 year ago
So... things you like are producers, while things you don't like are sludges? How logical and balanced. ;)
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel It has nothing to do with whether I like a product or not. What matters is that it is a product that people use.
chiyerano 1 year ago
We definitely have some definitions to rewrite. Is something that can be produced once and used over and over by millions of people at the same time a product? I would hardly consider a webpage a product, even if it is a very handy and convenient webpage. If I were to really reach far on this one, isn't the web server the one that's doing all the producing? ;) Damn you technology! Making that gap between labor and consumers bigger by the day.
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel I've been saying all this time that as long as a person, company, or nation is producing something that people use and want, there is some wealth or at least some money to be made there.
chiyerano 1 year ago
All depends on what you consider wealthy then ;)

@bweazel Also, it requires some highly technical skill to design something like software or an interactive web page that many people want and can use.
chiyerano 1 year ago
You can make things? Like what? Necklaces? Rings? Electric components? I believe that's the only value any material will have in the future, what it can be used for. Gold, sitting in piles, as a storage of wealth.. Right... Not a snowballs chance in hell. Like I said, this world is going to grow up quickly, soon. When you think about how much gold we have out of the ground, and how much it is actually needed... the true value of gold drops thru the floor. Purcashing power. hahahah. So funny. ;)
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel Well, I would rather have some silver on hand that everyone can find some use for around the world than to be holding piles of dollar bills that nobody outside of the U.S.A. really wants as evidenced by the rising prices of things in dollar terms outside of the U.S.A.
chiyerano 1 year ago
The reason America is in this problem now, is due to many reasons that have been laid out over 100 years, which should tell us all this is on purpose and isn't just natural.
You're not solving for technology, it seems you are completely leaving tech out of your equations in your head. Add it in there, add in solving exponential problems and how you would stave off that inescapable end. ... derivatives perhaps? ;)
bweazel 1 year ago
@bweazel Actually, the financial mess that America is in now is man-made. Nothing natural about it.

Tax cuts raise the amounts of revenues brought in, we don't know optimum level because it's never been hit, they don't teach that

Completely repeal NCLB and then disband the US Department of Education. Those two things will return control back to the local schools and will solve 75% of the problems discussed in this video.
We need to wean states off the Federal cocaine known as the Federal Reserve Note and decentralize the federal government. This will solve another 75% of problems we have today.

I have looked at this education system for years and recently found the answer.
The biggest problem is that we teach children to FEAR making mistakes.The problem is that we can't learn and succeed unless we learn from our mistakes like the Wright Brothers,Edision did.

DEMCAD It's hard to believe that our society has become so sick that only 60% graduate. In my day only a few did not. I also went to school in Europe. The eviquilent senior class level English Lit. studied Shakespeare. We also had German and French. Translating from those languages to my adopted language, Danish, then into English, made those classes very difficult in the beginning. We should be ashamed, but it is only a symptom of the bigger problem.

pdsavage 1 year ago
The Students should have a part in rating the teacher. Most students I believe will give a fair evaluation of the teacher. The teacher's union has gone too far. I'm not against unions but there must be middle ground. Public employee's pensions are out of control and must be greatly reduced. I'd go farther as to not have defined benefit plans but defined contributions instead. *****
jimbobubbadj 1 year ago
Well, you talked about a lot of it, but there is definitely a conflict of interesting having the Federal government in charge of our school system. I'm for making things far more local, like it used to be. I"m also for home schooling and private schools. I think they are far more effective for a lot less cost. The rest of it just as to do with parenting and morality.
