Bingo!

Gubmint education teaching how to apply for Gubmint benefits.

Not always and not everywhere, but certainly widespread. Look at their present results, what's currently prevaiing now that's a result of the decisions they made 15 yrs. ago? Now add social media on top of that and you now have a jungle of chaos, distraction & perversion.

How is that any way to educate a child to prepare for "the real world"?

Some of the 20 & early 30-somethings are experiencing the hard, real world reality of student debt, very weak degree, poor social/verbal/writing skills, and being misled by a system that told them they can "change the world"....and that they have a "responsibility" to.

Bravo Sierra.

I still find it interesting how well home-schooled kids do with their parents teaching them, using cirriculum bought off the internet, with different parents teaching different subjects. They just knock the lights out of college entrance exams. Why? Because they are taught how to learn, not how to pass a test.

Uh, no.

Jobs are primarily an artifact of the Industrial Era. Few will exist in the Post-Industrial Era.

Complaining about them going away is like complaining about kids leaving the farms to move to the cities during the Industrial Revolution.

3D printers can already make many of their own mechanical components. When they can build the electronics and motors to go with those mechanical components, the Industrial Era is over.

China was always going to be a bust, because they were rapidly trying to industrialize when Industry was about to die. Fifty years from now they'll have a million deserted factories to go with their deserted cities.
