My own conclusion about public education in the last 75 years is that it is a swamp of sophistries and lies, not to mention depravity.

Government schools are the very definition of socialism, collectivism, compulsion, godlessness.

This mix of socialism, collectivism, compulsion, and godlessness, **ALWAYS** leads to a swamp of sophistries, lies, and depravity.

When children attend government schools they are not learning to read. ( It is parents who are doing that in the home.) Children in government schools learn to be comfortable with socialism, collectivism, government compulsion, and godlessness. THAT is the **real** goal of government education.

Sight-word readers have no trouble with the first sentence; but they usually can’t read the second sentence without mistakes because these words haven’t been memorized; and the kids are unable to figure them out, despite the massive propaganda saying they can. Second-graders produce variations like this: “Mide fed some nits and fudge to him take right”

I have seen and heard public educated elementary school children do just that and not seem to be fazed that what they just read was jibberish.

It's like they're so conditioned to stuff not making sense, that they just keep going.

And then people wonder why kids don't like to read any more.

Stories make more sense when they say something.
