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)
