Of course it's always easier to blame everyone but yourself for the misperception. I never considered that I might have to "dumb down" my posts for you to be able to grasp them. I guess you are among those that the education system has failed to educate. Yeah, right. I understood your premise, but found it erroneously presented. Present your arguments intelligently and you won't become a target. Not even close. Unless you have kids that *want* an education, you're barking up a tree in the wrong forest. The solution must begin at home, where kids have to be instilled with the desire to be educated, and convinced that an education is critical to their future well-being. Of course if their parent(s) is/are clueless to these issues, the kid will be similarly clueless. The state requires the kid to attend school, which he/she hates and wants nothing more than to avoid. It can be the best, most innovative and efficient educational program in existence, but futile if the kid isn't interested. There you go, being small minded, and short sighted again, Jeff. Improve the education system so that successive generations will have more and more chance of being raised by parents that DO have a clue. The cultural rejection of education is self-perpetuating. You can alter and inprove the system until it encompasses the entire GDP and you'll still have a culture of people for whom education means nothing. (Hint: don't read race here--this culture of ignorance crosses racial lines rather nicely) The process must begin at home. We constantly hear how "bright" oriental students are; how they almost universally excel in primary, secondary, and college-level programs. Do you honestly believe they are genetically superior in terms of brilliance and the ability to learn and absorb? The primary difference between them and those who fail the educational process is parental/family motivation. Without that, the whole process is an exercise in futility. Throwing money at education has been tried, and it has failed. Answer this: why, if the system is so broken, do so many excel within the existing one? That's always the best concept, but you've got the methods all wrong. Well, I agree that a better education would not have helped you much, Jeffy. Care to compare advanced degrees? GPAs? Max Good grief! You really ARE a moron. Have no fear, Jeffy. If you continue to bull**** yourself into "not getting it", there's a pretty good chance you never will. Your ignorance will be safe. Thanks, Rudeclod. A personal attack is always a cry of "uncle." Max |
