Bad Education

Bad education warps the mind and can potentially create permanent damage.

Bad education can turn an innocent child, who automatically thirsts for information and socialization critical to orienting him or her to a shared reality of the world as it really exists, into someone who accepts no good possible future for themselves and their peers.  

And what is this shared reality children must learn to have happy prosperous lives?

How about mathematics, language, literature, science, social skills of etiquette and respect for others as well as for themselves? How about physical education and music – both frequently dropped by schools these days as the cost of education continues to rise? And how about history – the good and the bad, fairly explained to the level of the child’s mental capacity to understand? And what about sex education? When did this become important outside the child’s home and family structure? And when did it become a critical part of preschool?

It's interesting that schools of today are opposed to teaching religious beliefs but have no problem teaching secular beliefs that are opposed to cultural norms that have grown out of religious beliefs.

Bad teaching does not develop the intellect or critical thinking skills. Instead, these are being replaced by rote acceptance to current educational dogma. It is as if there is a group of people who do not want future generations to be adequately educated so they would be able to manage their own lives without help from an elite few. Perhaps, too much education of the masses is a threat to this elite’s perceived societal importance.

Might the excess use of entertainment be a part of a general plan to dumb down the world?

More specifically, might the excess use of entertainment be working in our own lives to keep us from thinking for ourselves?
