socialist Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 What should be the focus of public education? What exactly is important in this age of constantly changing technology? This article will give you something to think about. How much focus should be given to the 3Rs? http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/george-jonas-the-nonsense-kids-learn-in-school Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.

On Guard for Thee Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 The purpose of schools is, to give lazy parents more time to surf the Internet and socialize on face book. Where, and when the hell, did you grow up? Because here in Canada that's not true at all. Quote
Peter F Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 The purpose of schools is, to give lazy parents more time to surf the Internet and socialize on face book. That doesn't explain student population in the 60's when there was no internet/facebook yet schools were jam-packed with kids Quote A bayonet is a tool with a worker at both ends
Moonlight Graham Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 That doesn't explain student population in the 60's when there was no internet/facebook yet schools were jam-packed with kids Exactly. In the 60's the purpose of schools was to babysit our kids for the day so mom could have a break from them and not kill herself. Now the purpose of schools is to babysit our kids for the day so mom and dad (or mom and mom, or dad and dad, or just mom or just dad...) can go out and make a living. Just kidding...OR AM I???

Topaz Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 one item that seems kinda unfair, is the kids that go to a large school board area, get a better education or a better chance for one because they have the money to offer more courses than small. I can in the near future schools closing and more kids being schooled at home by the internet, which is being done now in some places within Canada. I think certain occupations, should be taught by the companies or businesses like the co-op programs only broaden them out more. Who better to train or educate the workers than the businesses, one wants to work for. Quote
