lol...that's hilarious

you might be right...but in that case, maybe it would be easier to control what kids get taught & how, as well as a little easier to gear their learning towards their personal styles.

e.g. you ask the child what s/he's interested in, the parent (or tutor) finds the appropriate classes and websites that teach them in the child's best style (write it down? have a hands-on kit? verbal interactions between the child & the computer? etc).

that way, you could filter out all the unecessary drivel, cut to the chase, AND ensure that the child is learning the way s/he KNOWS how to learn. of course, i'm oversimplyfying, but that's a positive way that could work.

yeah... i think that this generation coming up is going to make or break this nation. either they're going to rise up themselves & demand better, or no one in this country's going to be able to live in peace.

god...u just sparked a thought. i wrote a story when i was a teenager (maybe a little younger) about a world where washington d.c. expands & becomes the only place where the rich can live. the rest of the nation is on some apocalyptic/mad max shit 'cause they just decided to let everyone else run rampant vs. fix the situations.

i think i have it saved somewhere, but i don't know if i want to find it now...sounds a little too close to where we're headed...
