Why do right wingers write about how bad the educational system is? Most aren't educated. They just imagine they are.
I know some college graduates who are dumb (stupid?) and illiterate. I never understood how they got through college but I guess in today's world its all about graduating people not educating people.
I don't see what the problem is.
I'm going to guess that you are a product of the government school system....
...true?

1. Education....e..ducare...'to lead out of [ignornce]'
2. Social engineering, to my lights, is not the province of
public education....this turn to the Left, sponsored by Progressives,
is where the United States began on the path to poorly educated
citizenry.
3. When NEWSWEEK recently asked 1,000 U.S. citizens to take Americas official citizenship test, 29 percent couldnt name the vice president. Seventy-three percent couldnt correctly say why we fought the Cold War. Forty-four percent were unable to define the Bill of Rights. And 6 percent couldnt even circle Independence Day on a calendar.
Dont get us wrong: civic ignorance is nothing new. For as long as theyve existed, Americans have been misunderstanding checks and balances and misidentifying their senators. And theyve been lamenting the philistinism of their peers ever since pollsters started publishing these dispiriting surveys back in Harry Trumans day. (He was a president, by the way.) According to a study by Michael X. Delli Carpini, dean of the Annenberg School for Communication, the yearly shifts in civic knowledge since World War II have averaged out to slightly under 1 percent.

indocrination, and the other hallmarks of Left-wing educrats...then our positons would

Assuming a finite time limit for the school day, the curriculum and final product for educadion should be carefully considered.

The most serious flaw with private education, and with “education fever” more broadly in Korea, is the damage done to children. Korean culture places a lot of emphasis on exams and college placements, which creates a "pressure-cooker atmosphere."[38] Thus, most hagwons use a "teach-for-the-test" curriculum that focuses on the memorization of information, standardized multiple-choice tests, and test-taking techniques. Korean students rarely understand the information being taught to them, they are not taught to critically analyze information, and they cannot apply information to other contexts. Students simply become "expert memorizers" of "decontextualized" facts that can only be used to take standardized tests.[39] This teach-for-the-test curriculum "stiflecreativity, hinderthe development of analytical reasoning, ma[kes] schooling a process of rote memorization of meaningless facts, and drainall the job out of learning."[40] High stakes exams also leads to widespread cheating, grade inflation, and outright bribery.[41]
Seventy-three percent couldnt correctly say why we fought the Cold War.
