> What's actually going on is that rather than taking the uncomfortable step and questioning our current day school system where we send our kids to prisons The reasons for this are deliberate. 1. Parents are assholes. In poor areas many patents couldn’t give two shits about spending extra time to contribute to their child’s education. In rich areas the parents are at war with the teachers either because their little angel can do no wrong or because there is serious money on the table for scholarships. 2. Child performance is measured in numbers devised by standardized tests. The average of that performance is a primary determinate factor in state funding. 3. It would be nice if we taught children to think and to form original output. The sad reality is that most people, including adults, are utterly incapable of originality. Attempts to force that square peg into a round hole leaves many children behind while simultaneously confusing and infuriating parents.
