The Educational System Was Designed to Keep Us Uneducated and Docile
This article was passed on to me through my homeschool group. I found it to be interesting reading and thought others might as well. It appears that the reason public education was created was to keep the masses educated just enough to fill the labor needs, but not too educated that they would question the status quo. Would love to hear your thoughts on the matter!

Hi Melissa, the article was a very interesting read. And fears around the 1900's of presenting an adequate education for the masses might have some validity.
But I think our present education is suffering because we fail to teach people how to think. And our solution has been to throw more money at a problem and hope it solves itself.
I have gone to school in education systems around the world. And from my own education, I see a definite lack of math, science, and logic being taught in U.S. schools. Now our teachers are under educated themselves, and until we can get the teachers educated, we will never be able to teach our children.
Take this exampleI wrote how EC GLass was self stroking themselves over the results of a Newsweek poll, thinking they did exceptionally well in school rankings. I didn't see that at all and pointed out EC Glass only had a mediocre performance when compared to other schools. Newsweek picked this up and gave a link to our post.If the school Administration used some math they would have been frightened rather than being pleased.
