RE: This lockdown is starting to chafe.
I never had the illusion that we were a well education generation.
Our schools stopped teaching how to think a century ago. Today they teach us what to think.
The primary focus of modern schools is to socialize and condition people to live in the new world order. There is no longer even a pretense of education in most schools these days.
Lol, try getting a boomer to buy that,...
Ooops, I used the wrong account.
IMHO The fundamental changes in US education took place in the wake of John Dewey (1859 – 1952). The generation before the boomers saw schools remove classical logic and adoption of new think.
I was on the tale end of the baby boom. What is funny is that people used to challenge schools and there were open debates about school curriculum. Today people are happy to have curriculum set by centralized committees and the people blindly support the schools in whatever they do.
They have done a good job domesticating the masses, not much feral left.
Statists gonna state, and today's education system presents no other choices.
