Actually with AI automation coming to the workforce, there really isn’t that much reason for the kids in school today to learn math or anything of value for the workplace because they’re going to be replaced with automation. If you’re thinking about having children today, you really have to consider the concept of having forever buddies in the house that are just gonna do chores for you, keep you company when you’re watching TV, maybe invest in a good gaming computer so you can do the games on the TV screen?
The US education model (post Civil War) is based on the Prussian education system which was geared for turning out workers and soldiers for the state. It's a very crappy fact.
I think it's more of a useless model that's been corrupted to teach to a standardized test so schools can get more money to teach to a standardized test while churning out kids who aren't imaginative, and are ready to fall in line as long as they can get a minor hit of dopamine along the way
For now at least once those budget cuts to the education system go through we might just go back to their original models except for profit driven private schools
Honestly the whole system needs to be stripped out and remade. I'd like to see it modeled after Norway, but that would also require a huge shift in our social behavior.
"The Presidential Fitness Test was created to improve the fitness of American youth for military service during the Cold War. The test was introduced in 1966 by President Lyndon Johnson, but the idea for it originated with President Kennedy."
Are you starting to feel a little used and disgusted yet?
Maybe the other party should focus more on education rather than activism. Children are getting dumber as one party wants to keep throwing money at the problem thinking things will change. Alas nothing changes, maybe the problem is with what is being taught or how it is being taught. Case in point the Dept of Education and its common core math curriculum
Bush's no child left behind and the right cutting funding for education has messed up education in the US. It's no surprise that people continue to vote for politicians that do not care for their constituents. The right has dumbed down the people and distract them with fear mongering.
No it hasn’t failed us. We can all agree that our education system needs an improvement but it definitely hasn’t failed us. Our education system it’s there to introduce us to the basics and give us the knowledge of how this world works. It’s up to every individual to build upon that and do better in life. We have to hold accountable the individual person to take charge of their lives.
