It seems now a days whenever a school of after school
program is very successful program is very successful in creating creative
thinking or cultivating mindfulness skills that these schools are the ones that
get cut from funding, why? Maybe the football team needs new helmets, or even
better STEM initiatives. Young kids are having the carpet pulled out right from
them in poetry, song, story writing, and dance for what? To ensure the US has a
competiveness and future economic prosperity. They should start teaching
automotive, welding and manufacturing in grade school if they are so concern about
labor force in school instead of creating a next Picasso, Lennon or Walker.
We are preparing out students to be strong in these areas,
science, technology, engineering and math, to help their chances in global
business perhaps ensure our nation commerce function. What is scary is Joseph
Stiglitz, believes, “to invest in education, particularly the education of
those who are relativity lacking in monetary. He further states “life chances
for students in the US are more dependent on the education and income than
their parents then in any other developed country that records such data. This
is not good news for those in the bottom and middle financial sectors or for
their off springs.
This reminds me too much off the banking concept where the
oppressor react immediately and instructively against any experiment in
education which stimulates the critical thinking and especially john gatto’s
“against school” the integrating function.
