I have read this
"The Deliberate Dumbing Down of American Education"
It is a highly accurate snap shot of what is happening now in America. This however is not the beginning of the problems in education in America. You see before the civil war Americans where educated and is why the body count was so high. They had to get rid of the people who knew the tradition, culture and social rules of Americans. Thus the true beginning of the educational problems in America started right after the Civil war. When they marched the children into indoctrination camps called schools. Before than children where mostly home schooled.
Well, yes...I agree. But the serious drive to change, undermine and transform the American Public Education system (which was pretty decent from around the 1880s to the 1960s) wasn't until the Reagan administration.
I agree mostly with you on this. The fact is you can discover that even our PhD.'s couldn't pass a test of 8-9 graders from 1886. The records show there where no true or false question. No multiple choice and such actually started in 1913 same year the Federal Reserve was fraudulently instituted. Also the same year one can see the text books where changed.
I have personally verified that our PhD.'s could not pass there testing. They asked question like. Show the names, definitions of punctuation's and how they are used in a sentence. Having 38 PhD's walk out of the testing facility rather than take the test was enlightening. Out of the 12 who actually took the test the highest score was 36%. That question was actually the easiest one on the test. LOL
