12654925, they are talking about brick and mortar public schools Posted by Damali, Wed Nov-19-14 03:03 PM
here in the US...and by and large, they are garbage save for a handful in each state
our public school system and it's rigidity and steel tethers to the teacher's union has resulted in a depressing state of affairs for our kids.
sorry but the Smith kids are dead on about this. and Willow only had to go to school for 1 year to see it lol
>There is no feasible self-directed study that will lead those >kids to the heart of quantum physics, developmental biology, >or personality theory of psychology. Granted their parents >are loaded with money so they may be able to get more out of >it than average.
i wholly disagree with that...the wealth of formal education you can get online on sites like Khan Academy and other accredited universities is astounding.
>But socialization, problem solving, work ethic for its own >sake, and methods of thinking are all valuable in their own >rights and all honed in school.
lol maybe in the schools YOU went to...but i can tell you as a parent of teens in high school, i'd categorically state that their school is FAILING to teach that to a majority of their students..or are accidentally teaching those concepts in their most perverse and damaging forms. nice idealism tho
