i had started to write a rant on how people in power make life complicated on purpose but changed my mind.
What history classes do you take that pretend like everything the government does is right? I'm happy to say mine present things objectively, and let you make decisions for yourself.
While school doesn't teach you everything you need to know to be an adult, it does make you aware of a lot of things you'd never even thought of before. New ideas and concepts you'd never even considered. That's true whether you're learning about why a bowling ball and a bouncy ball fall to the ground at the same speed or reading Mrs. Dalloway and consider the point of modern life.
@tar: It's not really history per se, its more of a comparison of subjects of our nation and others, for example the notion of healthcare. We compare our healthcare service against Britain's healthcare service. It's more of like 'how do we make healthcare better'. I think most of the points given, generally point to ours being more practical and 'good' for lack of vocabulary. Hence 'propaganda' even though it makes mild logical sense (because it does not reflect some of the real circumstances seen outside the text).
At this point of time, I only wish that they focus on interest, not results, to differentiate classes to go to. I know that this is ridiculous and will probably lead to the breakdown of the education system, but think of it as this. If you're interested in doing science, but your results aren't good, and your class does not offer science as a subject, how will you ever gain the foundation of science?
I think that is my gripe, though it wasn't in the bloog.
@dee: write it lol.
[/tldr]
From another blog:
Even so, I have the impression that the US education system is as screwed as ours? I remember watching a video going on about how the education system there has a lack of funds or something.
