Education system was never a success. All the inventors never used the system as a matter of fact.

We need to be financially educated instead. Not everyone is intelligent to when it comes to keep the money which we have earned by our hard work. And that is the reason we ask our next generation to go to school and get good grades and get a safe secure job.

And the talent which the new kids have is been wasted while carrying boring heavy school bags. And they never shine in their lives.

If we educated a kid to be financially intelligent you will find more talents and inventions.

Proof that our current educational system is a dismal failure can be shown just by giving modern day students the same test they gave students back in the 1800's.

I once attempted a test they gave in Kansas about 100 years ago. I would have failed it. The math eluded me. But the math questions were very fair and very useful. For example, a student would be asked how many bales of wheat a 300 acre farm would produce based on various factors. They had to combine arithmetic, algebra, and geometry to arrive at the correct answer (because it also asked how big a room it would take to store it... very clever!)

A modern day student would scratch his head and say, "Dude, where's my Game Boy?"

Very few questions were difficult due to the time period, they were simply very tough questions.

I thought I was really advanced in foreign languages. I even took a double major in college with Spanish as one of my two majors. However, a high school student here in Prague (Czech Republic), where I live now, can speak better English, than I could Spanish. In other words, my ten years of study couldn't match what a High Schooler here can do.

The best education came from nuns. Nuns did not allow you to fail. They literally monitored your progress every day. If you started to fall behind, they didn't wait years to correct the problem, they did it immediately. No matter how modest your educational talents were, they would make sure you studied hard enough to compensate, and get a decent grade.

Sadly, there are very few nuns nowadays. Hence, the only alternative would be to scrap the present day public school system, and allow charter schools.

Perhaps if education were once again a viable career for nuns and priests, Catholic schools could have a renaissance. A lot of nuns left their Orders when their convents were disbanded, and they had to live in apartments, apart from one another. More girls might opt for being a nun if education could be their career.

Dont forget Public education was an experiment. It used to work, but when you take God out and put nothing in his place any crazy thing is apt to happen. So heres your current mix: No God , no alliegence, no morals, no moral adults teaching the students. You think children cant smell someone who doesnt care about them? I know I was able to and it depressed me.

Some of our education system is a failure. Share marketing is now a total failure.IT now shows not much improvement.It is best to take groups like AERONAUTICS,ELECTRICAL&ARCHITECTURE,whic... is some of the most best .IIT engineering has an excellent scope.

The system isn't so much the problem. It's the people that are running it, and the lack of funding from it. Every project that some politician wants to do that requires money seems to always take it out of education first.

That's the problem.

It should be dumped in the ocean. It neither promotes learning theoretically nor practically. It just promotes rote learning. It is cruel to see children poring over unwanted muck.

Education, like most things connected to government, has become a huge beuerocratic nightmare. People create new systems monthly that teachers have to learn and impliment. Principals bogged down in paperwork are innefective because there are so many rules and regulations they must follow. The administrators keep growing their administrations sucking up more and more of the education budget for themselves and their new ideas. The big thing today is giving big name publishers lots of dollars to create sophisticated 'education systems" A book and a video and a disc for everything - tons of things for the teacher to learn at great expense for the school district. And about the time the teacher gets it all down in a few years, the publishers come out with another one. Meanwhile, teachers who realized where the easy money is, create new "education learning tools" and give seminars to schools not meeting the No Child guidlines More expense, teachers have to learn yet another system.
So aside from all the money in education today what's the main problem? Well, politicians want easy answers that sound good so they blame the teachers. But you know, a Verb and a Noun haven't changed for ages. 2 + 2 still equals 4. It was taught without all the beaurocracy and "learning Sytems" for years by great and poor teachers.

There are two other problems:
Poverty. Poverty has been steadily growing since the late 60's, early 70's. Along with growing poverty we have shipped off all our good paying jobs to China etc. So kids who aren't good at school for any of thousands of reasons, have no where to go. Inner city kids have been cynical and fatalistic for years now. they see the foolishness and know it has nothign to do with their lives so they ignore it.

The other problem is Society itself. We used to think of ourselves as "family oriented" While that may still be true in the Mid-West and rural areas, it is no longer true in our cities. In our cities career, income and status are our main focus. Famioly coems in behnd these things and our kids know this. kids in school will tell you how corrupt our government is. It's not taught to them - they SEE it. We don't see it as clearly as they do becazuse we have vested interests in maintianing our career, money and status. But the kids don't so they see without the filters. We think "Oh they just are too young to understand." Nonsense. they can't explain it - but they see it. THey hear the excuses for going to war and they don't believe it. They know that the people up on the hill are running government and the people in the ghetto aren't. They aren't surprised that their schols aren't upgraded but the wealthy neighborhood schols are - constantly. And they odn't care because they're going to sell drugs and pimp their grilfreinds and be gangstas, "So what's reading got to do with me!" they'll tell you.
They take canaries down into the mines. When it's dangerous, the canaries get sick and perhaps die. The kids are our canaries and more and more are looking pretty sick. I say, it's time to clean up our society, simplify education, (Expect them to learn or they get held back. We pass kids into high shool who can't read beyond the 4th grade level because what's the alternative? Keep them in the lower grades? There's no room! There's no teachers! There's no classes!

Eventually, we will see the lower classes being taught by computer. they won't be taught how to think or to reason - but how to work a computer. The upper classes will still have real teachers becasue they will afford them and the parents instill respect for education. In the lower classes - it's all pointless and hopeless so educaiton has little meaning.

Having been a teacher I could go for days on this subject, but this is enough for now.
