It's too bad they've cornered the market on those pieces of paper that everybody wants you to have. I'm curious... what do you think will happen when this implosion occurs?
It is too bad - although it could be said that they created the market for those pieces of paper.
I'm not sure. Actually, I'm being optimistic: the entire modern economy is so fundamentally dependent on forced pulic schooling - every person in the workforce is the product of the school system - that an implosion of schools would mean an impolsion of everything. That is why the system keeps self-strengthening against all common sense. There are too many vested interests at stake. The pessimistic conclusion would be that eventually we'll sacrifice our humanity for the prosperity of the corporate state. It's not completely out of the question.
Y'know, they probably did. I wonder how long it's been since people have been convinced that everyone should know some things about a whole bunch of things that don't necessarily relate to their everyday lives.
Or schooling fixes itself from within, as people realize the necessity to adopt new standards and begin to provide the money and attendance-power required for schools that don't provide freedom and enlightenment to those that do, forcing autocratic self-enclosed institutions to close their doors forever? Maybe?
I mean, they're all autocratic, self-inclosed institutions. More properly, it's just one autocratic, self-inclosed institution. That's one problem with federally mandated schooling: there's no capitalism of education, no competition (of course, there IS competition, but the losers and winners are rigged from the outset - even worse). The university system fares relatively better for that very reason. Of course, it too is quickly being subsumed under the rising tide of "standards" and "experts;" it's merely buffered by its quasi-autonomy, which is being ever eroded

Actually, you used to hear '20 dead in office shooting'. Then folks stopped shooting up their workplaces and fast food joints and started focusing on schools.
