Only Fools Go to Schools

I will be watching this space!!!!!

What we & our children need is a more meaningful life. The problem is, & a classic example of it can be seen in every aspect of life, especially here in Connecting Singles, people have the propensity for quickly developing shallow friendships, while abandoning them just as quickly. People have been conditioned to dread being alone. They do not know how to dialogue with them selves. They have not learned to enjoy their own company, so they seek some form of companionship, in some form or another. We need solitude in order to appreciate & admire our own company: our own genius. The lords of this world do not want us to visit that inner fortress of solitude. For it is there that man becomes superman. Once we develop an appreciation for & a connection to all that is & ever will be, we can never be bored or alone again. Most people are easily bored because they have been conditioned to think reflexively. To break this habit we need to practice thinking critically & independently. Then, we will slowly find our selves in a land of adventure & leaders among men, rather than consumers & employees.

Mr. Lynch,

Perhaps you would like to replace every educated man, that is a mover in this world, with an uneducated man. Your approach is completely superficial, and unsubstantial. Your ramblings are not based on statistics, but bias. Not to mention within your eloquent rambling, you express foolishness rather than genius. The character "&", is not correctly used, not to mention it's irritating to read. You write as if you are trying to impress someone with your writing instead of just focusing on actually saying something worth saying. And in doing all this, you just make yourself look like a fool.

Each citizen of these United States has been continuously told that America is the land of the free while being instructed at the same time to watch what one says. We have seen what happened to President Kennedy when he stood up to the lie. Adults do not surrender their will & judgment under political pressure & threats. America has become a nation of children, who are more than happy to bow down to tyranny. The need to ask questions has been replaced by easy answers. The same is true for self entertainment. Few Americans have any self control or patience. No wonder the institution of marriage has failed so miserably in this country. Nearly every aspect of American life lacks maturity.

YES!
I should of dropped out of high school , never went to college and worked at the local feeling station?
Heck, I always admired Guber!

FEMA doesn't need to to build concentration camps around the United States because it already has plenty of them located right in out local communities. I could have saved FEMA some money if it would have discusses its plans with me first, lmao. Gatto, in his wonderful Essay, explains exactly what the purpose of education in this country is all about:

1) The adjustive or adaptive function. Schools are to establish fixed habits of reaction to authority. This, of course, precludes critical judgment completely. It also pretty much destroys the idea that useful or interesting material should be taught, because you can't test for reflexive obedience until you know whether you can make kids learn, and do, foolish and boring things.

2) The integrating function. This might well be called "the conformity function," because its intention is to make children as alike as possible. People who conform are predictable, and this is of great use to those who wish to harness and manipulate a large labor force.

3) The diagnostic and directive function. School is meant to determine each student's proper social role. This is done by logging evidence mathematically and anecdotally on cumulative records. As in "your permanent record." Yes, you do have one.

4) The differentiating function. Once their social role has been "diagnosed," children are to be sorted by role and trained only so far as their destination in the social machine merits - and not one step further. So much for making kids their personal best.

5) The selective function. This refers not to human choice at all but to Darwin's theory of natural selection as applied to what he called "the favored races." In short, the idea is to help things along by consciously attempting to improve the breeding stock. Schools are meant to tag the unfit - with poor grades, remedial placement, and other punishments - clearly enough that their peers will accept them as inferior and effectively bar them from the reproductive sweepstakes. That's what all those little humiliations from first grade onward were intended to do: wash the dirt down the drain.
6) The propaedeutic function. The societal system implied by these rules will require an elite group of caretakers. To that end, a small fraction of the kids will quietly be taught how to manage this continuing project, how to watch over and control a population deliberately dumbed down and declawed in order that government might proceed unchallenged and corporations might never want for obedient labor.

I don't think we could throw the old structures away that easily. first of all who is "we"..I mean we are part of the same system, SO how do we change, even when aware that we need changing? ...Even if we tried, we'd be always pulled back because ..hm.. it's be hard to think in other signs, different from what we've been taught :)and from what everybody else uses.
Have you noticed how cold Kroger stores are? The employees work with gloves and coats, but they do not admit that it's cold...Who knows? They might lose their jobs if they complain...They never think of protesting although they have a union and pay for it ... They tell me, the customer, to call the administration and complain ...To me, that's one of the manifestations of a culture of fear..and also a way to create it

you know what...if you calm down, you'll be my favorite blogger : Anger does not lead anywhere and does not offer solutions specifically. We do not live on our own in the woods, right? Living in society requires sacrifices ...or...you think you'd survive on your own...don't think so
going to school is one of the things ..of many..we cannot not do ...the thing is...think of alternatives, don't just reject it
