re: The real purpose of our education system
Some interesting history.
--The government wants citizens who will vote for someone if you give them a cookie, and who will pretty much do what they're told.
--The government runs the U.S. education system.
Any questions?
The Left has owned the public education system for decades--still primarily with the goal of social engineering over learning--and the results stink. But try to bring up alternatives, and see what the response is.
By the way, modern industry is looking for creative people, not drones, and it's unfortunate that they often have to go to India to find them.
