Maybe there will be a turnaround, but given that the education system has long been (and continues to be) controlled by Progressives, it doesn't seem that likely to me.
But yes, the USA is the only nation founded on the principles of individual freedom, and many people remember that, so there is a chance.
- eightyone 13y agoEducation is controlled by corporate interest and always will be. In fact the education system was founded by wealthy industrialists so they could churn out great factory workers. To learn more about this read Seth Godin's Linchpin. It's not profitable to have a smart populous. George Carlin sums it up here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMqJvhmD5Yg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMqJvhmD5Yg
- javert 13y agoI don't believe there's any evidence at all for what you're claiming regarding "corporate interests." In fact, I think it's obvious that it's wrong. As far as I know, Otto von Bismarck started modern education so that he could indoctrinate the German youth, but I'm less certain on the details of that.
