THE EDUCATION SCAM

Sooo... An education is the key to freedom, huh?   An education leads to stability & security too, right?  As the world leader, the United States leads by example, correct?  The following global education stats may surprise you regarding the above questions:

- Among all other countries, the U.S. ranks #33 in READING (Mexico is #31 & Greece is #28);
 
- The U.S. ranks #27 in MATH (The Czech Republic - 11);
 
- The U.S. ranks #22 in SCIENCE (Poland - 18)!

I guess this makes perfect sense in a country that allows it's educational system to charge outrageous amounts (putting most students in incredible debt) for a majority of classes that have NOTHING to do with the degree major & future job of the student!
 
We must openly discuss the archaic practices of our education system & honestly review what education is and what's needed to succeed, because, in our current situation, the standard one we have now is obviously not it.
 
LET THERE BE LIGHT!
