The American Education System Exposed As Worker Drone Factory For The Socio-Economic Elite & It's Not Even Doing That Well!
This is the 3rd installment of my controversial rant against the American education system - this time in video. If you haven't been following me, it is recommended that you read through the first two (admittedly lengthy, yet well worth the time) posts:
- How Inferior American Education Caused The Credit/Real Estate/Sovereign Debt Bubbles and Why It's Preventing True Recovery
- The Biggest Threat To The 2012 Economy Is??? Not What Wall Street Is Telling You...
I fully expect plenty of comments on this one! I come in at 3:40 in the video, but the first three and a half minutes may be worth viewing as well for those in the education industry.

You're just a sparkling ray of sunshine, aren't you?
Listen, if you want to troll effectively here try:
-coherent arguments
-insightful points
-stay on a point
-riff on the point of the OP, or at least the one to which you are responding
-try not to sound like such an asshole with the US Citizen pejorative stereotype
-pull out a dictionary to learn some english. start with pejorative
-get a picture with some nice tits or something, since your posts don't seem to offer much else
Otherwise you are kindly invited to STFU !
4 years!? Wow, you must have been a Master Debater by that time!
Master Bator (fixed that for ya)
There's no one who wants to change it more than the teachers. How many of you out there spend any time in a school, are involved in the day-to-day and offer input to staff? Correct - it is a government plan to dumb the kids down by turning off critical thinking facilities and ramping up the emphasis on nonsense, i.e. curriculums which do not develop human virtues like independence, self-reliance, confidence, etc. Teach 'em to be dependent and weak and what do you have -soldiers and worker bees.
Input to staff means being labeled as a "helicopter" parent, you are NOT welcome.... it means more work for the teachers. Furthermore, there are many things that are out of the teachers hands, and your input frustrates the situation.
If you want something done right do it yourself, take responsibility for your child's education!
My children are the most important thing in my life, and I am willing to give up the "things, time, activities" most people at my age and social status would be enjoying to make sure my children get the skill set they need to survive and thrive in the world.
Most parents have children before they have the maturity and insight to realize the amount of sheer hard work and mental stress that goes into raising a child. I have NEVER understood why people have children if they are going to hire a babysitter to raise them… it makes no sense, what is the purpose of doing this!
Extended families, grandparents, aunts, uncles, great aunts (the grand dames……) are wonderful in helping to raise a child, so few of our children experience this. Playing cards with your 80 year old great aunt on a snowy winter day and learning how to cheat (by catching her) is a priceless experience on so many levels…..
It truly does take a community to raise a child and we have no sense of community in our society, it is fractured and disjointed.
People have children for the wrong reasons and when the shit hits the fan, and requires the parent to deal with unpleasant behavior, etc... They look to have someone else do the heavy lifting or they respond in a manner that is inappropriate.
Imposing consistent fair consequences for the poor decisions your child makes is one of the hardest tasks I have ever had to do in my life. It takes courage, love and lots of involvement/time in your child’s life (meaning there is less time for you to do things for yourself) !
Good post HCE.
"Imposing consistent fair consequences for the poor decisions your child makes is one of the hardest tasks I have ever had to do in my life. It takes courage, love and lots of involvement/time in your child’s life..."
Children must learn to appreciate that everything they will do in life has a consequence. For good or ill. Any opportunity to reinforce the consequence of past or future actions should be taken to teach them of this dynamic.
For example, from a very early age one of the main virtues in ours is personal integrity. We have taught this is something to be guarded jealously because once it is lost it can consume a lifetime to get back, if it can ever be fully recovered.
This came into play a few years back when a student accused a coach of slapping him. The mother was irate (of course) and called the cops. Lawsuits, arrests and firings were threatened, the whole deal. They all (cops included) had a meeting at the school where the coach, the student, principal and the rest of the kids in the PE class were questioned about what they saw or didn't see.
Most saw nothing, just the kid screaming. Some said the coach did it.
Then they got to squire nmewn. He related how the student had hit another kid and started a fight. The coach saw it and snatched the kid up by the scruff of the neck and broke it up. Only by his shirt collar.
Because everyone knows my son doesn't lie and is not given to flights of fancy, it was over.
I took this opportunity to impress on him (again) the importance of his personal integrity and honesty...even with him knowing there would be hard feelings between the boy, his friends and him (for not backing his story).
The good and the bad consequences ;-)
BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!! Another "the holy sainted mistreated poor widdle teacher" diatribe. Bite me! It's the cushest of cush jobs. Nine months a year at 35 hrs/week for full time pay. Want to break the system? DON'T take the job...ah but there's the rub, huh?
Teachers are nothing more than useful idiots for the elite and bureauRats. Hell, most of them are so conditioned, dumbed down and subservient to the youth indoctrination prison system that raised them, they couldn't come up with meaningful change to the system, even if they wanted to.
Wow.... sounds like you were taught well. My wife a teacher for 30 years in a private school begs to differ. Hell she might have even taught Tyler back when. Who knows..heh.
I'll bet he meant PUBLIC SCHOOL teachers (using the term loosely). We send our kids to private school and its a world of difference. I would be surprised if a private school teacher might not beg to differ if someone said 'all teachers are the same'.
Any public school teacher that doesn't like the system can find a job at private schools with half the pay and benefits. We all know this. Tough trade and while public school teachers may not like the system, they sure as heck defend it.
Even those that read ZH and pretend to understand economics and math fail to grasp the simple concept that there is no such a thing as unfunded liability. It's a perfect example of 'right-wing economic' education mind games.
Semantics are an important tool of control. Newspeak demands that words no longer describe that which they represent.
The brain thinks with words, if words are bent towards paths the mind follows.
The police no longer kill, they take someone out, you know its sounds nicer, like they go on a date or something.
War becomes a police action, just cleaning up the neighborhood. One of the primary functions of mass media is to propagate newspeak, to re-educate the masses and bollux up any attempt at discussion by destroying the meaning of words.
But it is doing well, just as the sponsors planned
Look closer Reggie, the trend is clear, education of engineers is WAY DOWN, why? Well, because in order to be an engineer and make REAL PRODUCTS you need to understand MATH. Math is the enemy of the financial fucks who have taken over the world governments. So is science in it's uncorrupted state (don't kid yourself the fraud has penetrated all professions including science). People who understand math and science are being eliminated and so is the funding for career paths in these areas. Dig deeper Reggie, the trend is there. You get a C+ on this report.
You also need more manufacturing..... but wait we are an information economy
Ironic,ain't it? So many poorly informed in an information economy. The only thing the USA manufactures anymore is reality.
They call it culture and spread it around like manure, hoping something will grow, but it seems to burn everything it touches and it doesn't smell very good.
Ah America. Tears enough for everyone, but hope and joy is by ration card only. Our freedoms rescinded because the terrorists hate our freedom. Some asshat thought that up and sold it to the nation and now folks stand in line to get felt up at airports and carry their toiletries in baggies to fight terrorism as they waddle barefoot through filthy airports trying to put their belts back on before they miss their flights.
We are that stupid.
Misinformation economy would be more apt.
Well spoken.

Sure. The same understanding of maths that leads all the super math elite of this site to tell that overpopulation and overconsumption are to be solved by diminishing the number of non consumers.
Maths, no maths, the root is the same: US citizenism.
US citizenism is hinged around elitism. US citizens always know better in any sector.
Reality:
US citizen sectors of excellence:
-extortion of the weak
-farming of the poor
-murder
Out of those sectors, well, it is a huge mistake to trust US citizens for any kind of proficiency.
Did I say anything about the overpopulation fucknut? Of course it is a problem. Precisely why My wife and I have only two children and grow most of our own food. You sir, are another perfect example of why "stupid" cannot be fixed.
People who understand math and science are being eliminated in favour of mindless goons that can fit ball thru circle.
My son is an engineer and the education system provided him with all the best opportunities. Magnet programs, advance placement. He graduated HS with 24 college credits, stats, even calc three.
I had calc in college and can handle it, but just don't care for it. No more than being an auto mechanic or bull rider. Education needs it structure and controls, but lacks the fun of discovery and understanding.
Learn to read and learn about SELF, and you are half way home, bitchezz.
Good points Reggie, I give you a grade of A+ for your idea and a B for presentation. Look forward to next months test. ANd yes, these are forms of tests and that is all there is to monitor performance.
And don't forget, Ron white's you can't fix stupid.
Check out: "Some Lessons from the Underground History of American Education" by John Taylor Gatto, found in "Everything You Know is Wrong", ISBN 978-1-56731-637-7, pgs 274-287
Then count yerself (and Child!) lucky.
Well, if the troops don't (even) know where to urinate, there might be a problem with your education system.
BTW, Nice chick Reggie. Much better than what your (ugly) banksters can get, I guess...
EVER HEARD OF THE "MILION DOLLAR HOLE"?
LMFAO
Nice try golden shower monkey.
If any Taliban is reading this, let it be known I'd be the first to piss on your dead corpse, even if the cameras are running. Looks like the soldiers did know how to urinate - unfortunately some sex-starved Taliban guy was attracted to pissing scenes.. so the rest is history.
Yes, and they'll be happy to chop your head off and Fedex it home to your wife.
Pissers - 0 / Head Choppers - 1
I am Chumbawamba.
I missed you chumba, thought you'd been kidnapped or something. Couldn't find a photo to put on a milk carton, or there would have been a more organized search.
The Public schFOOL system was designed to produce two things: Soldiers and Emloyees!
And six figure administrators with six figure pensions paid by the taxpayer
It's worse than that: they "retire" in one state and then work in another state while collecting their pensions.
And then Then CNBC bleats "We need more teachers. There are many young teachers who completed masters degrees in education, but school boards wont hire them. These young people are eager, worked hard and just want to do what they love. If we hired more teachers we could get class sizes down to proper levels"
Followed later by "We have the teachers, we need more, and more modern classrooms"
And then buried on the back page of podunk newpaper. "AP national average cost per student 2012 $45,000/year. National average reading level for HS graduates, 7th grade"
Reggie, take a look at "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt
She has made it available for free on her website, as well as links to interviews at: deliberatedumbingdown.com : Deliberate Dumbing Down of America - E Book download is NOW FREE TO ALL!!! Right click and "Save Link As" Click here to begin download File is 6.75 MBI was just about to mention that. She makes many of the same points Reggie is making and she has the added clout of having served as Policy Advisor for the Department of Education during the Regan administration. She really blows the lid off this sham of an educational system.
also the documentary film "the Cartel" about the public education and the teacher labor unions.
