I understand why teachers go to the public schools. the unlimited taxpayer funds make them attractive.
But in the long run, being handcuffed to evil systems traps potential, of both the teacher and the student.
Until we kick out public schooling in this country we will have no chance of recovering and expanding our culture in a positive way.
I see it sort of the same way but am less optimistic. We have half a century of uneducation of the population. Very few who were in primary school fifty years ago or more recently have any notion of history. They do not know what systems have failed and failed again in the past and they are open to accept anything that sounds good and "caring." They have no sense of cause and effect beyond knowing it hurts if you get punched in the nose. There is little ability to calculate any more in most of the students, the ones who did not turn into engineers and scientists. Religion has been flushed from modern life except as a hobby thing. Right and wrong are all situationally relative. How is the Constitutional Republic going to be rebuilt on that?
Trump, if he is the Superman we all hope and pray that he is, can only buy us a hiatus, perhaps ten years before the iron box closes in again. Two countries have built successful Republics and they built on the same bases. Switzerland and the USA were both originally populated by people separating from the clan and feudal structures of Europe and coalesced into populations of individuals with no binding ties to clan or lord. America got too rich and came to support a huge class of nonproductive drones, the welfare class which only wants more free stuff and the wealthy and largely higher IQ class of trust fund kids and academics who have the leisure and the lack of real world experience to dream up utopias and the assets and means to force their vaporous ideas on the population. Recently they have been joined by a class of extremely high IQ men who made too much money too fast and have no understanding of where it came from. It fell out of the sky on them and they don't understand why everyone can't have money fall out of the sky on them. They operate as Capitalists and Entrepreneurs but they think like sheltered college sophomores.
