Public Schools--Are They DESIGNED To Fail??
YouTube video: Are Public Schools Designed To Fail? ^ | Feb. 13, 2010 | Bruce Deitrick Price

Graphic video provides a quick look at most of the bad ideas now undermining public schools. Takes four minutes.

The video's main purpose is to clarify the debate and to provide a checklist of what the video calls "the usual suspects." Arresting these bad actors is how we improve the schools.

Depends upon how one defines success and failure. For the left, success is the creation of generations of morons, totally dependent upon Big Brother and the democrat party because as students, they have learned nothing but how to put a condom on a cucumber.

Failure depends on your goals. If you think public schools and universities are designed to educate the young to become intelligent, thinking adults, then they fail miserably.

If you think public schools and universities are designed to indoctrinate the young to serve the collective and be capable of learning repetitive tasks and perform those taks without much rational thought, then they are very successful.

The American education system is not designed to turn the masses into intellectuals. It is designed to make them productive workers in the collective factories, cubicles, and farms.

Yes. Public education is now Ayers based & has little to do with academics. It’s “social justice” teaching now.

It is a success if the goal is to destroy an individual thought, thus independent action.

A failure if that is accomplished and America ceases to be a freedom loving nation

They are absolutely designed to produce exactly what they do in terms of product. Anyone who slips through the cracks and manages to get an education is summarily knuckled-down on as they move up through the ranks.

The only way for socialism to succeed is to make people ignorant and unable to meet their own needs.

Public schools are designed to ensure that your children fail.

I don’t think they are designed to fail. I think it is just typical bureaucratic incompetency that does not know how to succeed, and can not get a good grasp on where it is. If they actually set out to fail, they would probably fail in that endeavor and actually end up succeeding.

parsy, the sardonic

The high school i teach at is very successful. I get 76k per off at 3, 14 weeks vacation and no one notices what a crummy teacher i am.

They succeed in teaching the things they care about.

Global warming, hedonism, multiculturalism, hatred towards the west... These things are successfuly taught while mathematics and reading standards have fallen.

Modern education is only a failure by our standards.

Designed to dumb down the population is more like it. It's been going on for sixty years. See the case laid out piece by piece using US gubmint documents gained through the Freedom of Information Act in a book called The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt. This book will open your eyes like you will not believe.....
