I'm with bot on this one.....
And it would be great if it finally woke folk up to the fact our system is a charade.
I think it took a turn south after Kennedy, and those who pull the strings have become ever more powerful influencing the outcome(s).
The current candidates "who are "viable" are nothing more than a strain of the previous, as with inbreeding of animals, soon it weakens the stock instead of introducing a healthy animal.
Let me explain how this works....
I recently had a guest to my house, he was a superintendent of a school district.
We talked for almost two hours straight about the school system, and it problems.
The biggest draw of its energy is meeting mandates by the government.
He gave the example of how they must meet the criteria of schooling "handicapped" children without concern of cost.
He stated that it cost about $50,000.00 per child/per year, or the same cost of a class full of "non" handicapped kids.
He told of where they had to put 50 students in a class, with only 1 teacher, in order to school everyone.
He tells how this hurts the marginal student, for the teacher lacks the time, and resource, to tend to their need in a manner that often lifts them to a new level of study....
It straps the high achievers, into a lower study, wasting their academic abilities...
Also he stated of mandates that really don't give the tools these kids need to compete in a shrinking global income earning market, like trade skills.
He stated the system is broke because those in charge come from the same system of academia mindset....
Its like trying to fix our bike with only one tool in our tool box, because we know that tool really good
We need fresh blood, ideas, and imagination, with the grit and integrity to get their hands dirty.
We all pretty much want the same, but instead of using all the tools we each bring to the repair, we often get side tracked with arguing why that tool you bring won't work....
We ALL need to pitch in and do what we can. If we never start because we think someone else ain't doing their share, we will just sink faster, and once we grasp our last breath, none of it will matter no how
