I have to check in here, too. The government controled schools are a big joke.(US schools) I went to them and yes passed. Did real good with anything that had to do with math sicence history etc.. english (spelling) I am still on the 3th grade level. why? Why don't I know what a noun is or viol is? And a dangleing participle? dont think these are spelled right. I was the first of my class in every thing else but english it was the last. Toke some test out of HS and in math etc I had grades of 94-96 percentile in english it was 43. Thats the school system. Thank goodness I can read.
The teachers have the students beleive that all they need to know will be though them. All will given them by the system. That is seen here on this forum, people want to be given without working for it... give me your ea .... and soforth. Teaching students what they need to know is fine, but teaching them where to fine what they dont know, is fare more important in life.
Another thing with the school system is that they beat the creative juices out of the students. The ones that don't want to let go are casts as "'Rebels' Without a Cause". The what if view of the world is stolen from each student in the system. If you look at little kids they can see more then we adults can. Their world has no boundaries, no limits, the creativeaty inharent of a child is were all the inventions in the past came from, not from schools. Most of history is fill with people who created and invented brillant thing with out schools. The schools system today trys to beat each child into a mold to meet sociality views of perfection. If one doesnot fit then hes cast as a social retard. As social skills goes I went to public schools and a good example, as I'm about the most socially dysfunctional person your will ever meet.
An example of the teachings of the schools system; I will leave you with a question. "What is the meaning and intent of the 'Federal Constitution'"? Do your research you may not have been given the right answer. Ask your kids what they are and see what they answer is!!!! Now go back, and see what the govenment changed in the text (the original text) without anyones knowledge. That change, changed the 'subject' of the document. This is a very complex question it can not be answered with out research on your part.
