Education these days...

  • Having come from high school it is truly dismal how education is structured these days.

    First of all education should be used not for the innoculation of intellectual values but first of all in the innoculation of character as found in religious instruction, prayer, and Christian culture.

    Secondly, the entire intellectual model itself neglects the "essentials" of the core subjects and instead promotes "specialized electives" when the essentials are forgotten.

    Also, special praise is given to intellectual achievement but almost none to athletic achievement. It is an outrage that the scholar will neglect physical training and sports in school because our so-called education promotes acedemics as "manly" and sports, boxing, and fighting as "vulgar"!

    Finally our entire instruction for history should instead promote the awakening of national pride and the greatness of the nation's past, not of a world history. I'd like to add that Blacks and Hispanics put down the test scores in many schools as well and that is the main reason for our falling test scores.

    I'd like to add also of a moral contamination of the school system that hands out condoms to junior-high girls and kids in general and teaches sex education even to kindergarteners.
