Compulsory Education as Social Control

[Gdjjr]

Not as. Is. We the people who live in the land of the alleged free have turned into a comply or die society if we don't succumb the the authoritarian demands. It begins in the 1st Grade and goes down hill from there.
Everything from Dress Code to curricula public education has one goal- and it ain't a sound education.

“chools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders.”

 

[Jackson]

So, what precisely is the one goal and what can be done about it?

Schools are supposed to be one of the early experiences of respecting authorities. First, it's parents and extended family, the teachers go up the respecting civil authorities such as police, judges, etc.

So, what is your point? Is it good, bad or indifferent.

If I wrote alligators as a reptile. what about it?

Onlee lernin I needs in the gud book

What a mess we would have the young did not comply. Then they grow up respecting others. Dress codes are good.Students dress appropriately for school, not as they dress like it is play time. Students who comply with a dress code are just the same as others. No one is dressed in expensive clothes making fun of those who are not.
What exactly is your problem with the curriculum?

 

[Confounding]

Being able to read, write and do arithmetic is too crucial to success in this world to allow parents to have complete control over the education of their children. You'd have parents SERIOUSLY failing their kids and crippling their ability to succeed. Being illiterate increases your chances of ending up in prison by a FUCK LOAD. An educated society is a civil, sane and successful society. We should be doing everything we can to get more Americans more educated. Uncle Sam ABSOLUTELY has a place in education, end of discussion.

But, someone in the Education Department had better realize school is for academics, not social engineering.

Parents already fail their kids and have been since the inception of mandated public education- a lot of that failure is because godvernment claims to have the power to absolve responsibility, like educating kids- education is merely a passing on of knowledge. The knowledge being passed on in the centers for godvernment indoctrination is not to teach respect but to TRAIN to not think, just react, comply- and out in the real world, comply or die if you fail to grovel at the feet of "official" uniformed thug authoritarians.

The same as others? Why is that important? Everyone is different. They don't grow up respecting anything. They grow up fearing the consequences of being different is shameful and should be ridiculed. Respect is understanding that all men are created equal and have certain unalienable rights- there are no caveats to that. Not status in life or manner of dress or food preference or voting record or anything- NO CAVEATS

How hard is that to understand? It's the philosophy this Country was founded on- IT will help form the greatest revolution in the History of man IF taught at a young enough age- not comply or die (or be shamed in front of your classmates)- we are living the results of that- the curriculum should focus on academic studies- reading, writing and arithmetic- schools are to educate not baby sit- all other activities are secondary- sound education in the previously mentioned and teach kids how to find the answer not give them the answer expected on a test- one size does not fit all- everyone is different!
