Teotwawki~:” Too many people are addicted to government dependancy.”
IbJensen~:” Liberals have be indoctrinating our children since they first entered school that it’s good to live on the dole.”
Remember the ‘Good Old Days’ when education meant something ? It stood for critical thinking , and questioning authority , and evaluating ‘cause and effect’. .
Nowadays , most public schools are thinking of dropping cursive writing ~ saying that we must use and take advantage of current electronic media , computers, and other electronic devices.
Schools now teach to the lowest , dumbest denominator and hold advanced students behind until the rest of the class catches up . The bightest students get held back , and then bored , and then lose interest in further education .
The ability to communicate ideas and language is one of the principles that separates humans from the rest of the animal world .
It is the ‘dumbing-down’ of education during the early formative years that looks for information and news in 30- 45 second “sound bites” from the lamestream media ; it is the lack of critical thinking that got us our current administration ; and is the the ignorance of “cause and effect” that has led to ‘entitlements’ and our current economy ‘suicide watch’ .
Cheers!
