I think education needs to have an objective. We need to say, when you leave highschool, you will be able to make money. You will have a marketable skill that will enable you to provide for yourself. You should be able to fix a car, do some plumbing, wire a house, or SOMETHING. Instead we're robotic zombies memorizing a series of worthless facts. Facts are not valuable. You cannot eat facts for dinner. Information is not the same commodity it was 50 years ago. This idea that we can mass manufacture intelligent students by cramming them in a class room, reciting curriculum, and bubbling scantrons is nonsense. Real education can't be institutionalized like this, it requires hands on learning and personalized instruction. With tablet computers, a students curriculum should dynamically adapt to the students learning needs. I feel like our education is watered down because there's no competition to teach students. The State has a monopoly on education and we're suffering the unfortunate side effects of a centrally planned industry.
