School = Brainwash?

Being the best at anything won't land you a job, work, or career. What they teach now in schools will actually make your process of getting a job actually worse.

If you go to college or a university and take the courses they have versus what you took in high school, the subjects are vastly different. As I said, I've seen students in college struggling to catch up to material they should already know but don't. Jobs now require you know a trade, skill set, or have some advancement in education or thinking to acquire it. These kids going out into the work force now from the public education system are actually being set up to fail at life.

The No Child Left Behind act literally decimated our educational system and set it back nearly 100 years by some estimates I've read on websites that have evaluated our system. Schools all over the world unlike us actually focus on what the kids are interested in, not just what they think they should know to succeed. You see in America less and less specialized educational classes anymore. Home economics taught kids how to manage a home, cook, etc. Skills that were a life's necessity. Metal and Wood shop taught carpentry and welding skills for the industrial trades. Music and Athletics and others all gave kids some doorway to something they were interested in. Now go to many high schools and how many of these specialty classes do you see? Few if any.

There are some schools were kids aren't even treated like kids at all and more like prisoners forced to attend classes with criminal youth offenders on parolees, probation, and gangs. I have seen this first hand from my jobs doing IT work. I've been through the metal detectors, bomb detectors, etc. been patted down, searched, etc. just for an inner-city high school and even escorted around campus.

What we call schools here in America really are not schools anymore. They haven't been since No Child Left Behind was passed into law, and won't be until this sham and scam of a law is repealed and overturned.

on topic: Remember it was G. W. Bush that pushed this act through and was administered during his administration. This is the same guy that almost choked on a pretzel, ran an oil company to bankruptcy (despite being a Texan blue-blood), gave the infamous speech onboard a USN aircraft carrier with the "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner draped in the background, and a laundry list of other acts of idiocy.
