the dystopic education system

the education system of today is fatally flawed in its methods. they teach for tests and nothing more. what good is 12+ years of education if you only learn for that week or that final or ap test? worthless that's what. not only that, but the set up of the school system isn't condusive to actual learning. we learn to sit, speak, regurgitate back to them what they tell us, a freakin dog can do that. well except the tell back part unless your dog is a superdog in which case he may do just that. no time during this process are we taught to use the minds G-d gave us. i think that in my 10 years of school i have had at most 3 classes that made me think, make choices, let me learn from discussions, help me establish my own beliefs and reasons for those beliefs not just because someone told me to believe in them. extremely intelligent people wonder why the young people of today are failing in school, and it's because we're bored. we're bored and we aren't engaged. come to our level and we just might suprise you. treat us like dogs and we'll feel obliged to give you just what you expect. i'm all up for some good ole socratic method.
