How public education cripples our kids and why Group Discussion

           We agree with the statement because he was taught how to teach by a system that he doesn't agree with. He states, "the work was stupid,  and that it made no sense." Since he was forced to teach in a way he didn't like he was bored for his whole career.

Boredom is the common condition of schoolteachers, and anyone who has spent time in a teachers' lounge can vouch for the low energy, the whining, the dispirited attitudes, to be found there.

 Of course, teachers are themselves products of the same twelve-year compulsory school programs that so thoroughly bore their students, and as school personnel they are trapped inside structures even more rigid than those imposed upon the children.

Boredom was everywhere in my world, and if you asked the kids, as I often did, why they felt so bored, they always gave the same answers: They said the work was stupid, that it made no sense, that they already knew it.

They said teachers didn't seem to know much about their subjects and clearly weren't interested in learning more. And the kids were right: their teachers were every bit as bored as they were.

He told me that I was never to use that term in his presence again, that if I was bored it was my fault and no one else's.

This question can also be supported by the Ken Robinson video who thinks that the school system is crippling our students by squashing their creativity.
Also Dead poets society supports this question. the teacher Mr. Keating has a different approach to teaching. He wants to get the kids out of the classroom to see life differently and think for themselves.

Question 5
Alexander Ingles 1918 book
compulsory schooling on this continent was to be intended to be just what is was for Prussia in 1820's
Modern schooling was to make a sort of surgical incision into the unity of the underclasses
divide children by subject, age-grading gender by constant rankings on tests and many other subtle means.

Question 6
adapted function, fixed habits of authority like speaking out against teachers and getting punished
make children diagnosed
The way students are tested
children are only sorted into a role and trained only as far as their desination
The system is kept going by training an elite group to carry it on.

Question 7
Modern schooling turns kids into addicts by having routine
turning school into second nature
"do we need to go to school?"
other people have been successful without school
our addiction to staying childish, not thinking we can do more when we can.

Question 8
Maturity by now has been banished
Easy divorce laws have removed the need to work on relationships

answers have removed the need to ask questions
we have become a nation of children
