The anti-elitist values in America, I think, are very destructive to education.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Education is the only billion dollar industry that tolerates abject failure.
Over-reliance on strictly economic justifications has already begun to hurt the quality and range of education at every level of American life.
Likewise, education can direct people toward good or evil ends. When education is based on a fundamentally distorted worldview, the results are horrific.
Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship.
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
Too much of what is called 'education' is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.
Education is a precondition to survival in America today.
After Big Media, U.S. colleges and universities are the biggest enemies of the values of red-state Americans.
Liberals tend to stress how marvelous education is, in and of itself, and also adore it as a vessel for genuine equality. (That's me, by the way: Hell, I think we should be spending $50 billion a year to make college education free).
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
