[...] These are the questions which must not be answered, we are told from kindergarten onward. In fact, for at least the last century, our public schools have been reengineered from the ground up to create prison-like environments where conformity, not curiosity, is encouraged, where the bright as well as the average are held back to the level of the below average, where maturity is retarded and intelligence crushed.

YES - the public schools are a deliberate trap for all students, bright or otherwise. The Department of Education and National Education Association (NEA - teacher’s union) have replaced all effective tools such as phonics and real math (replaced with the “New Math”). The intent could not be more lucid. It is not difficult to learn to read. Before this new “plan”, many childen (as was my case) had begun to read, being taught by older siblings even before school.

In the 40’s and 50’s, there were precious few illiterate kids - a real rarity. There was no ADHD (LMNOP) or learning disabled. Handwriting could be read by another and most students could solve math problems on their own. Children could write creatively in a form called “written compositions” or stand-up in front of the class “oral compositions”. Correct spelling was encouraged. And the class sizes? - 30 to 40 in every class. There was discipline and quiet.

Now, in the 1980’s and beyond, small class sizes, “time-out” rooms, kids lined up to ingest their “meds” (powerful, addictive, cocaine-like psychotropic drugs). No dictionaries needed either because a close guess is acceptable. No expectations of excellence - gotta protect their self esteem (as idiots).

That is the public school of today. This is deliberately evil and unacceptable.

Sincerely,

Fred Hall (b.1935)

This article was amazing to me. I homeschool my seven year old. I have felt that our children are being controlled educationally in a negative way for quite some time. I live in one of “those states” that is at the bottom of the list on everything. Our educational system is light years behind other states. And I don’t feel like I should have to pay for a mediocre private school. Homeschooling is a difficult thing when you have a young child at home also. But, this article has given me incentive to continue. I have the POWER to choose the curriculum that best suits my child and that is challenging also. As far as socialization, she gets plenty!!! Thanks for the good work. I look forward to more articles.

[...] Forget the truth, your children are being forced to memorize the state-approved dogma. It’s about time we realized that public education has been a complete failure at educating, and a complete success at dumbing down each successive generation. At this point the only way to improve American education is to get it out of the hands of the federal government. Filed under: Humor, Education [...]

It only seems to happen in the US! Irish School system seems fairly sound, and the UK one seems okay. I just don’t get how someone could knowingly set millions up for stupidity every year!

[...] It appears that dumbing down the schools wasn’t enough to get everyone in America to be conforming, subservient little sheep. Now they want to drug all of our children into submission. Baa. Filed under: Homeland Stupidity, Privacy, Education [...]

[...] But this is not news. Public schools aren’t designed to give children an education. Instead, they’re designed to make them dumb. Anyone managing to get an education in public school has done so despite the best efforts of the school system to prevent them from getting one. [...]

[...] I’ve been saying for a long time that the quality of American education is in decline. We don’t need more studies to tell us there’s a problem. We need to begin addressing the problem. And the problem is the Department of Education itself. Since its creation the country has enacted laws and regulations which have chipped away at the quality of American education until by now we have three-fourths of college graduates unable to read properly.

[...] This politically correct speech thing has really gotten out of hand. Our children do not need to be misled by terms such as “deferred success,” which imply that she may get it right the next time. She may not. How long shall success be deferred, and do you really think the child will not catch on? Children aren’t stupid, at least not until they’ve been through the public education system. This will just make them even dumber. [...]
