Re: Mind's Eye Re: Positive ideas education

Excerpt of my science fiction book "A Short History of a Long Future - a Guide for New-man"

"Indoctrination centers called schools were organized. Starting at an early age with kindergartens, children were removed from the tutelage and sanctity of families and from the exploitation of factories. They were cultivated under a program of brainwashing called education where they were programmed and trained to be obedient and skilled adult workers."

Getting more to Molly`s point below, in the end, it is more of "who you know" than "what you know".  Perhaps more apprenticeship programs (a la Switzerland) should be used where most of the learning is done on the job. As an apprentice, you are paid very little and you are exploited a lot, but you do end up learning, and you do usually end up having a job at the end if you get thru it.

The cost analysis for US universities includes the online courses, Alan.  Most have them.  then their are universities where most of the course work is online.  the diplomas aren't worth much in the job market.
