RE: A prison by any other name: The tyranny of the modern-day 'education' system

in #education6 years ago (edited)

My husband and I have had several conversations now about the difference between "education" and "training".

One simply helps and encourages someone to learn, which is something people do naturally.

The other molds people to do something the way the molder wants them to.

Public School Education in the United States today is actually Public School Training. Everything about it is designed to train people to be the cogs in the industrial workforce that we supposedly need. There is a lot of effort put into "learning", but when a person really "learns" they often reach a variety of different conclusions and levels of proficiency in various fields than the person next to them rather than everyone graduating able to do the same basic work.
