The Failure of Mass Education

Quote:
Yes there is something wrong with the state school system but with both parents working how do you propose people get educated? A babysitter that will plop them in front af a TV for that same 6 hours a day watching soaps. Children do not sit at the side of their parents and learn how to get along in the world, second hand knowledge is better than no knowledge at all..

Maybe you should read my posts on the HeartStart Homeschool program

As stated there
I have eight kids of my own
all schooled via HeartStart
the lowest test score in any subject is B minus

The home environment
kitchen
workshop
home garden
back yard playground
and surrounding nature
is the most healthy school

Parents are natural teachers
the only ones who can give unvarnished personal attention
the only qualification needed
is genuine care in their children's future
encourage them to care
to share equally and meticulously
and insist on a good chore-based work ethic

Once the kids are secure in these basic family values
and home disciplines
and the encouragement by their parents to excel in life
all kids are then naturally smart enough
and caring enough
and motivated enough
to teach themselves academically
by puberty

Now with the internet at hand
professional teachers
and state sponsored indoctrination centers
designed to produce little more than mass production line workers
are redundant

If the state spent all the billions it now spends
on artificial school system
with such dismal results
and sponsors home teaching instead
parents can get on with their real vocation in life
which is looking after their kids
and stop fucking around in corporate offices
or dying of boredom on the production line
this would not only decrease the divorce rate
but also help to reestablish traditional home-based family values
that made America Great in the first place

The economic and political benefits are significant
Besides suddenly creating millions of jobs
for university graduates
by pulling millions of parents out of the job market
and getting rid of unemployment
stay at home parents
will produce a better class of self-policed citizen
with higher moral values
and far more intelligence to boot
which in turn
brings down our crippling law and order expenses

all of which is what Heartstart
and its duel brain system of creative encouragement
is all about
