Modern public schooling is completely worthless.
After 12 years of mandatory schooling people get out of it completely worthless to themselves and their society. They are unfit for any job that isn't the must basic one.

@Bados It was designed that way by the Rockefeller’s. Critical thinking is not being taught in public school. And that’s just one thing.

@Bados I just don't get your logic in how it's leading them to failure or how your proposed solution makes anything better.

@Bados Critical thinking is very useful throughout life. And yes they should teach useful stuff. Bring back driver’s ed and make it free. (They still have it here but it is for a limited number of students, not everyone gets it). Teach personal economics so these students can grow up and live within their means regardless of their career choices. So many things they should teach.

Do you know how frequently people draw assumptions from the information I share in my profile not realizing whatever images they have of me are incomplete?
Every time I log in.
No, I don't live in the US. I don't need to live there to know the teaching and learning approaches currently used in the US in public schools, and their effectiveness.
And you're right, it's because that I have lived elsewhere that my perspective might be broader.
On one side you have people who are killed for trying to get the freedom of accessing information.
On the other you have people who have full access to all kind of information making excuses
I grew up in Africa, that's true. And yet by the age of 10 I was able to speak 5 languages fluently. By my teen years I acquired most of my technical skills OFF school hours.
If I was able to do so, so could both of you. In fact, you didn't live in a warzone so you had better chances.

@cherokeepatti If i could implement something would be personal economics, it would be a blessing.

Critical thinking is already a part of autonomous learning approaches. Teachers guide students to it. Instead of creating curriculum based on teaching, they create them based on individual differences. That's not bad, that's a good thing.
I am not sure what makes you believe critical thinking isn't considered.

@cherokeepatti [quote]There have been agendas to indoctrinate students with things that have nothing to do with educating them instead of teaching what they need to learn.[/quote]
I very much doubt that the effect of that is significant because it echoes of political divisiveness narratives.

@Miram you really don’t know what’s going on here.

@Miram YOU are talking about my country. End of argument.
Miram · 31-35, F
@cherokeepatti
And you are talking about what I know or don't know.
Whether or not it's your country is irrelevant.
My point remains, you have full access to information and you have no excuses to blame anyone for personal failures in that field.

They are saying because I am not from the US, I don't know about the US.
This is after claiming that critical thinking isn't considered in the educational system. They don't realize that US curriculum designers were actually pioneers in study skills. They literally coined the concept.
It's ridiculous.
