Our education system will never do that.

Our fundamental mistake is to take the easy way. In a proper education system, small children of six, seven, and eight years old would spend little time at formal education, and a lot of time playing and learning informally. The time for hard study and learning would be between ten and fourteen.

But because small children are mallable and obedient, we put them to hard study at a young age. Then, when they reach puberty and feel like rebelling, we let them run wild.

There is the salient point of your post, and a great one, at that.

Allow me to share a post of mine and an old essay on point:

And America expected what from the NEA and the American educational system?

To teach math, science, reading, writing, and the pride and dignity of the values of Western civilization and America’s stunning achievements in the world?

No sir. It is all multicultural, diversity training, and the loving embrace of every perverted and disgusting habit of man.

Sorry, students haven’t gone through twelve years of public school for nothing.

They’ve learned one thing and perhaps only one thing during those twelve years.
They’ve forgotten their algebra, they’ve grown to fear and resent literature, they write like they’ve been lobotomized, but Jesus, can they follow orders!

Students don’t ask that orders make sense because they gave up expecting things to make sense long before they left elementary school.

Things are true because the teacher says they’re true.
Outside class, things are true to your tongue, your fingers, your stomach, your heart.
Inside class, things are true by reason of authority, and that’s just fine because you don’t care anyway.

Miss Wiedemeyer tells you a noun is a person, place or thing, so let it be.
You don’t give a rat’s ass; she doesn’t give a rat’s ass.

The only important thing is to please her, and that lesson follows right through College. - cooperate and graduate as your professors tear down everything good and noble in American history to replace it with their “agenda for change.”

Back in kindergarten, you found out that teachers only love children who stand in nice straight lines.
And that’s where it’s been at ever since.

Nothing changes except to get worse - those students now vote as they are ordered to vote, and believe what the MSM tells them to believe.

The Matrix is here.

A great job of ruining America by the NEA and the public education system.

Thank you for your time. - Bill
