There are many critics about the dumbing down of education in many countries, but only in USA, critics could afford to publish and sell their ideas:
https://www.amazon.com/Dumbing-Down-America-Nations-Brightest/dp/1618211668 Just imagine that in the country where I live, to get a paying work in Education, a person just needs the endorsement of a politician or a bureaucrat... nothing else is needed or required. For this reason, you could find daily news about party members that have their whole family receiving US$ 2,000 (or more) monthly as public employees in the Education Public system or... Plantation owners who receive a check from the government for every field worker that is listed as worker in our Education Public system. By the way, Do you know that in the country where I live, any of you have a better chance of receiving a payment from the government for your work, thanks to the services of your country's Embassy? That's a clear and definite advantage for every foreign worker or consultant. How many of you would want to work for a government that requires that an Embassy collect the payments for your work? :-o Al Bob Sneidar wrote: > I think it's a huge mistake to try and treat > all children as though they are capable of > learning as well as the top 10 percentile. > This approach has been disasterous in american > schools, because what actually happens is, > classes become tailored to the lowest percentile > of students to try and bring them along, and those > who might have excelled are held back until a stage > in their development where it is likely too late. > In America, we call that "equality". _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
