This is possibly an unwarranted assumption. I certainly
agree the US is broken**, but the ed. system? Perhaps not.
I think the problem is some liberals think everyone should go
to college, of course that will fail. Previously ed. was
streamed with the non-college bound receiving practical
training. Now those who should receive that education fail
and the others succeed and their number is likely no less
than in the past.
Should American educators not consider the results of theireducation, hand in bosom, and ask why do others want to "fix"
it? Part of the problem is apathy not to be involved
creatively and with passion; part of the problem is sometimes
that you are so close that you cannot see the possible
solutions even if you tried.
No, I think the kleptocrats are succeeding in their wish to
make the US (and the world) more friendly to them. That
means changing the ed. system from critical thinking to one
that "... is a wise and liberal form of police by which
property and life and peace of society are secured." [D. webster]
