Winchester Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 To create obedient citizens. Even in my Catholic education, I learned fuqol about things like jury nullification. Catholic school is essentially the same prussian model teaching blind obedience to authority and mindless worship of the gubbmint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picchick Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The reason for education is to prepare you for what is next. My elementary schooling prepared me for highschool which prepared me for college which prepared me for the workforce. Now, this is not the case with all. I became a nurse. A sociology major might not have the same preparation for the workforce. I think that education also has a purpose to mold a child through their various stages to become well adjusted adults. This is not the case in our educational system in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo in Deum Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The point of education is to be able to work hard so one day you can work less. It can also be so you can work hard so someone else can work less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilllabettt Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 so there is some out there stuff on this thread. lemme come in like a wrecking ball.If you control for race and class the US system is the finest in the world. Not top 10. #1. The Best.The Chinese do not include special education/mandarin language learners in their statistics. If you are emotionally disturbed/ mentally handicapped in China you don't keep going to school. It's rice paddies for you.Europeans have a smaller gap in scores between rich and poor because guess what, they are socialized states and they have a smaller gap between the rich and the poor.There are no "learning types." I was taught this directly from the mouth of the guy who came up with Multiple Intelligences - Dr. Howard Gardner. People have been abusing his research for years to say there are "learning types" or "styles." There are not. Suggest that there are and he gets super pissed off.

Winchester Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So what you're saying is that statistics compiled by think tanks, governments, or other human entities, might need to be investigated prior to being paraded around triumphantly on the wings of confirmation bias?
