The secondary schools public education system in America is dysfunctional. Secondary school graduates in America are not capable of reading, writing, or using numbers at a college level. Next year the schools will be worse, not better. Incoming teachers are products of a crippled system. After four years of “American” secondary school, most graduates need a year or two of remedial education classes before beginning their college work. This means than many college graduates in America have only completed two years and should actually have been awarded an associates degree, at best.

HOWLIN’ WOLF – DOWN IN THE BOTTOM – LIVE 1966
“Homeschooled students in the United States outperformed their public school peers by an average of 15 to 30 percentile points in standardized tests. But there are fewer resources available: In a homeschool environment, there may not be access to a gymnasium, science lab, or an auditorium. This may mean other resources are necessary to study at home.”

We can be civil, creative, literate and articulate…with adequate vocabulary and deliberate intent….

The solution is NOT home schooling. Most parents are not capable of being effective educators. The solution is repairing the damage. Begin teaching RHETORIC in every secondary school at every grade level. Provide higher math each year of high school. (Trigonometry, Algebra, Advanced Algebra and Calculus.) If we restore classes which have been removed from public schools: sewing, cooking, cleaning, interior design, wood-working, auto-mechanics, dance, art, music, global history and rhetoric; our public schools can provide students with what they need. Money is not the issue. Focus and better planning are.

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov
“Education is a system of imposed ignorance.”
― Noam Chomsky, Manufacturing Consent
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
― Mark Twain

― Walter Cronkite

The important thing is to not stop questioning.”

― Albert Einstein
