The Destructive Effect of a Poor Education
How we got here.
Children automatically thirst to learn.
They want information to help them learn to socialize.
They want and need to understand the world as it actually exists.
Poor education tells children that there is little possibility they will be able to live good productive relevant lives. All the cards are stacked against them.
Poor education promotes fantasy and victimhood. No point teaching anyone practical skills like balancing a checkbook.
It’s too much trouble to teach mathematics, language, literature, science, and social skills, not to mention physical conditioning and playing a musical instrument.
Shouldn’t children be taught history – the good and the bad, so their generation won’t repeat mistakes made by other generations?
Poor 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.
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
