It was started wrong. John Dewey is considered to be the father of public education and he was a socialist and used schools to create socialist drones. His plan has worked rather well.
Public schools should be 100% locally funded, operated, controlled. The smaller the locality the better. Neighborhood, parish, block, town. I don’t even trust county at this point. My county government is run by 3 lying thugs and they are powermad big frogs in a small pond. I wouldn’t trust them with a five dollar bill or my daughter or my car for five minutes.
And now we have a huge problem with 3 generations of AFCD no daddy in the home children. Who have been raised, and their mothers and many times their grandmothers, without a shred of personal responsibility or the understanding of what it means to be a civilized human being. These people cannot govern their own appetites, minds or hands and legs, nor do they even know it’s possible, or a good idea.
So, where to go from here?
In some diseases there has to be a healing crisis where the symptoms get worse before they get better. I don’t see any way around this as far as the social body as a whole.
That’s why I think sane people should live far away from huge cities filled with the kind of people mentioned above. Certainly such types of people live everywhere - in my valley, too. On EBT cards, incredibly irresponsible, and hub sees this a lot on medical calls as a firefighter. Many living in utter filth and degradation expecting some form of government to take care of every single want and whim. But out in rural areas, there aren’t that many of them. Makes all the difference.
When I read the writings of the Founding Fathers and others from that time I am always astounded by how much better they were educated than today’s citizens, despite the millions and millions of tax dollars that are spent every year.
