i am sorry that this thread has ended acrimoniously.
education in my opinion could,, provide the opportunity for children to learn to question, challenge. think ahead, solve problems, i think if any society hopes to advance progress and discover new inventions it needs to encourage the best brainsand to simulate its children.
not use schools to accept and swallow so called facts, or indoctrinate them with establishment propaganda , be it soviet stalinist rhetoric or capitalist or religous ideology or dogma.
