Millions of tuition bucks worth of world class educational content at your finger tips for free.

There are no more excuses for lack of success because just about anyone can get a Stanford/ MIT level eduction for free in their own spare time.

Unprecedented in human history and amazingly few bother to take advantage of this historic playing field leveler

Just sayin’

Today’s American HS dropout couldn’t even operate a printer.

[MasterGunner01]

American public schools are producing uneducated, indoctrinated “students” incapable of original thought. What skills they acquire are inspite of the public schooling and not due to it. With all the computerized learning about, we should be changing the model on how kids are educated. The old brick and mortar buildings with expensive classrooms and even more expensive teachers are bordering on obsolete. Public schooling actually discourages learning. Schools have become prisons where kids are locked-up for eight hours a day in a taxpayer funded warehouse.
