Do you think education's gone bad?

yes! students today were not as sharp, competent and independent as the students of the past decades were. As the time passes on, worse and wworse the educational system has become. schooling nowadays separates an individual from the REAL WORLD he/she is living in. many things were taught, yet they do not post any benefits to the society in general. subjects become less and less pragmatic... for example, a new degree has arisen: floral design... when there a huge number of hungry people out there, crying out for good political policies which may only be carried out by critical thinking public officials.. what will flower arrangement contribute to what those people need? Somehow, most of the subjects taught today teach us to live in a world of idealistic settings... full of crap. we study about the benefits of the past inventions and the arts, yet we leave the planning of the world's future to the geniuses and to those who can invent better stuff. And when we go out of the classrooms without even knowing how to decode a given passage on a textbook, but surely, we know how to read. We've come up with different degrees/courses, stayed longer inside our classrooms but our have learned lesser and lesser of what we are supposed to learn regarding the realities of life.

no not at all
