RE: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? - NO!
Not all of us public educators are indoctrinators.
I teach blockchain technology to my Business Spanish class, our Biomedical Engineering teacher doesn't allow students to get away without developing critical thinking skills. Our Family Consumer Sciences crew is incredible at developing life-long skills.
We have multiple teachers that push back against administrators/lawmakers that don't have the students' best interests at heart.
I know you're railing more against the system than the teachers, but just remember that those closest to the kids often have their back.
Thanks!
Right, I agree. It is the system not the individuals. Thank you.
Yeah, there are a lot of wonderful educators in the system but unfortunately they are bucking a system designed to prepare kids to play their part as workers and debt slaves, something required to sustain the American consumer economy.
It's part of a larger plan.
Individualism and critical thinking are discouraged and group-think rewarded. This also makes it easier for those at the top to influence public opinion and control the masses.
Kids that grow up to run things go to elite private schools, not public schools.
The sinister plan to "dumb down Americans" started to take shape as we see it today back in the days of Carnegie and Rockefeller and is well documented.
Two brave people that have written extensively about this subject are Charlotte Iserbyt and John Taylor Gatto. Both have books and material on You Tube.
Gatto was a public school teacher for 30 years and Iserbyt a top education advisor in the Reagan administration.
I have great interest in this subject and it will be one of the topics I'll be discussing here on Steemit.
Your children are super lucky papa-pepper to have a dad that sees through the deception, something unfortunately many do not.
Thanks for this wise and informative post :o)
