When the USSR beat us into space, they tested all the school kids, put the smart ones in accelerated classes, put the mid-level ones together, and put the lower levels into vocational classes.
In the 1960s the only thing educators were concerned about was making sure everyone felt good about themselves.
I have a brother 20 yrs younger (37 vs 57) and his education compared to mine was worthless.
My ex is a college professor turned provost; he is appalled by the lack of knowledge todays college students enter with.
Now you see where all this whining on this board comes from, and it's not their fault they feel so privileged.
I dread the day when the last of us are gone...have you ever read the Kornbluth sci fi story, Marching Morons. He was way ahead of his time. |
