GOOD Transparency: Education in America

It's time we take a broad look at the state of education in America today. What are our graduation rates? How are our standardized test scores? How well paid are our teachers? Let's take the pulse of our country's education system -- all the way from its kindergartens to its universities. Comparing and contrasting with statistics from other countries, we can see where we fit in on the international scene...and we can begin to think about how to repair education in America.

@Kalkas53 that's true but the main thing is that the school system itself is terrible. All it manages to do is depress the kids into boredom without having them learn a single thing for 12 years. read dumbing us down by ghetto.

here's what i see the major problem

it isnt money or big coorperations

the main problem is the parents

things that we dont consider as factors like sleep have a huge sleep on children

you see parents have changed their stance on their relationship with their kids and treast them as friends instead of acting as mothers and fathers

Parents have also gotten lazy with the current generation and thus in a sence stupified their kids the major cause that i see is a lack of sleep

kids need sleep

The new world order is not going to be the KGB, or MK Ultra, or the Illuminati, or the Free Masons, it is going to be Microsoft, Apple, General Motors, the BIG COORPORATIONS.

We are told that those who had these great innovative creators are so much smarter than us, that we cannot create our own things, we must work on what they worked on, learn everything they learned, we all must think the same and do the same and serve the big corporations that will eventually be stronger in every way than the nations and governments of the earth because they have all of the wealth.

It's not just America, it's the entire modern world. Education is geared toward the fact that those in charge must boss those beneath them around, and that these people must be TOLD WHEN AND HOW TO USE THE PRODUCTIVE OF THEIR BRAIN.

The productive parts of our brains DO NOT WORK THAT WAY. For ten thousand years humans have relied on SPONTANEOUS BURSTS OF CLARITY, CREATIVITY AND PRODUCTIVE AWARENESS to make the world a better place. Now that this is gone, we are experiencing the degeneration.
