This nation has been drifting back in comparison with the rest of the world for the last 20 years in education.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Right now, there's the illusion of order and civilization, but there's a tremendous amount of economic tension in this country and the educational system is constantly eroding.
Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
Education is not merely neglected in many of our schools today, but is replaced to a great extent by ideological indoctrination.
Education is a precondition to survival in America today.
Our educational results lag behind other states, and other nations, but worse still, behind the potential of the kids and the devoted teachers in our classrooms.
As skills and energy became more of a demand, people who didn't have skills just got left behind, got shuttled to the side. Education didn't keep up with their promise. Education didn't prepare them for this new world. Jobs went overseas.
Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
We spend a lot of time training and retraining. It's heartbreaking because our education system has failed all of us. And again you go to China, even Mexico, Brazil the education systems are valued - ours are not in this country at K-12 level. It's amazing how that change has transpired in my lifetime.
