Some people seem to feel that neither education nor schools existed in this country until Jimmy Carter created the Dept of Education in the 1970s.
We will be fine without it. Actually, clearly, we will be better off without it.
I have collected old technical manuals from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s since I was a teen and have read through and learned from every single one of them. now retired I have even more time to find more and read more of them. one of the fascinating things about the tech manuals of the past is the advanced language and math built in to each one of them expecting that the reader already possesses the education level needed to understand the material . the MOST fascinating thing all to me is the fact that these highly technical manuals that many college grads of today would struggle to understand were written for the AVERAGE high school graduate. yes folks...the people who designed the bridges, skyscrapers, flying machines and the vast array of warfighting machinery that won WWll were educated LONG before the Carter.
For everybody in public schools.
