SCHOOLING OR INDOCTRINATION?
Schooling should be teaching how to process thought and reasoning, how to question and determine a viable plan of action. Rote is good for facts and memorization not thought process.
The teaching of what to think and only providing one perspective is a disservice, not only to our youth but those that have been educated and are now coming of age to lead our country.
Have you noticed the increasing numbers of drivers not stopping at stop signs, those who turn right on red without stopping and sometimes not yielding the right of way? Those who ignore basic traffic laws?
This leads to a lack of civic pride and a disregard for the laws designed to protect and provide an orderly procession of society. Voluntary recognition of the rule of law is necessary except under totalitarian rule.
Under totalitarian rule independent thought is discouraged, compliance is mandatory and penalties are severe.
The inability to complete tasks stems from the lack of learned process, start here, complete these steps and arrive at a conclusion. Is this taught? If so, they leave out the logic.
The degradation of our educational system will lead to the degradation of our society and the rise of AI, a rise in governmental control and a further fall of innovation and discovery.
AI can compile and sort information at amazing speed however innovation and true thought by AI are impossible at this time.
