Public Schools and Critical Thinking.

Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt served as the head of policy at the Department of Education during the first administration of Ronald Reagan. While working there she discovered a long term strategic plan by the tax exempt foundations to transform America from a nation of rugged individualists and problem solvers to a country of servile, brainwashed minions who simply regurgitate whatever they're told. We have been merging the U.S. and Soviet systems under the United Nations banner, turning over education and many other areas of public policy to global control. This 74 minute exposé is a must see for anyone who wants to truly know why the education system is deliberately crafted to produce human drones with no critical thinking whose only skills are to be subservient, trust authority and follow orders. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErL9zPHdH4A&feature=related

i dont think thats the case i went to a state run school and it was more preparing you with the skills you will need in later life. A lot of my former classmates have gone on to become very succesful and they did on it their own so they must be able to think for themselves.

In a word, yes. They teach "what to think, not how to think." All one has to do is sit in on a class to see it. It's not just "what to think" but it has become one big brain washing machine. Government schools are run like other government programs. Red tape, poorly focused, money and popularity driven programs that do little or nothing for the students.

Yes i agree to your point. When made a comparison with the private run schools or institutions, public schools tend to spoon feed the children that hampers their critical thinking. They have to come up with something unique that would help change people's psyche towards Public schools.
