EduKation 2014.

What does today's school system prepare you for? It prepares you for failure. The public education system is a joke. As I look back, the only thing I really learned how to do was regurgitate useless information. There was no hands on learning. There was no class that taught be how to budget. How to grow my own food. How to escape a system that is as corrupt  as they come. Look at the lunch we were provided everyday. Full of sodium, artificial coloring's, and my favorite, genetically modified ingredients. The average public school receives .92 cents for  each child. We are taught that success can only be measured by what college you get into, what GPA you receive, and even what sports team you get recruited for. There is no honor in being different or learning a different way than the standard. You are claimed unintelligent and even "slow" if you do not comprehend their meaningless lessons. Not that you are overwhelmed by the information, its just that you simply can not retain it in the methods in which they are teaching you. The state approved methods. The ones that big business employees to foster the knowledge of today's young. Shape and mold their minds to be 9-5 sheep. Totally asleep and unaware of anything that is going on other than what  they hear on the idiot box. Fielded and herded into crowded hauls like cattle. Made to feel out of the ordinary or weird if they express themselves in a different way than the other mindless majority of the population. As educators, they say they don't want to divide us, but that's all they do. They create separate classes within the confinements of a school building. Dumbing us down with fluoride rinses and out of date text book material. Giving us meals with the same nutritional value as the ones they serve in our state prisons.We fight over things like the pledge and evolution. & yet, we fail to acknowledge global warming, the clean water crisis, and the current state of Syria. We have candy bar selling contests and pep rally's where it's acceptable to run around like a barking baphoons. Even as going as far as making a "dummy" of the other teams star player and pulverizing them publicly. Rather than teaching love for all cultures, we discourage it.The values instilled on our children are materialistic. There is no class to teach them how to love the earth. No class to teach them how to love each other. And no class to teach them how to balance their energies to make an impact for the greater good, rather than just themselves. I shake my head at what our public school system has become. Until we change, there will be NO change.
