Thoughts on Education
« on: March 18, 2025, 01:01:18 pm »
“We are failing to prepare young people for their lives. When these individuals grow up they will work, have families, vote, handle finances, pay taxes, make dietary choices – the list goes on. The education we provide does not really prepare young people for any of those things.” – Susan Haft

“Perhaps psychological education should be provided to students as well as physical education?” – Gerard Miodan

“I fail to understand how so many young people graduate from high school and even college without even knowing many of the basics of grammar.” – Loretta Thompkins

“Maybe we should be working to improve education rather than lowering standards?” – Martin Daniels

The education system is setup to create know-it-all do-nothings, who go on to attend college.

Where's the civics?
Where's the financial literacy?
Where's the development of critical thinking?
Why does knowledge have supremacy vs applicable skills?

Knowledge without skill lacks applicability and fruition.

Both knowledge and skill are necessary for innovation and progress.
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

This is like 60's college freshmen level stuff. We're a little bit beyond that here.

The dorm room bull session just ended.  See the profile of the OP.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

No...Nancy Nuked and I blocked its IP so it cannot re-register.  Can't read either.

He's tripped the light fantastic... Gone pining for the fjords... Rest in pieces.
