Schools in response to Jerry

Hi Jerry Although I did not find the comment distrubing I think you make a great point.

 I dont believe the United States public school system was ever created to formaly educate one into any elite position of the government or society. Being a former private and public school attendee I can say that the learning curriculums were totally different. Once I transfered to a public school I was well advanced when compared to another student in the same grade. This was an advantage for me.

I think that the public schools were actually created to give the industrial workers a better understanding and training in field work. I think that we are educated way earlier than the age of twelve on purely what we are told is true with the trust of our knowledge in the hands of our teachers and textbooks. I think that this continues until we are nearly finish or finished with high school. Some philosophers say that we are educated once we learn to think for ourselves.
