We Need Changes In Education

SEE HERE The whole idea of public education by systems controlled by the state is essentially a totalitarian idea.  Why anyone thinks this is a good idea is a bit mystifying.  It requires one to trust the state far more than history suggests that states can be trusted.  The world has gotten along quite well without public education in the past, indeed better than we are currently experiencing.  It's time we retire the vision of John Dewey in favor of an educational system that favors independent study and values that are objective.
