The Miss-Education of America!
"Although the U.S. is among the countries expending the highest proportion of their gross national product on education, our elementary school and secondary school students never place above the median in comparative studies of academic achievement."
-Harold Stevenson(educational researcher)
The structure of our education system is annihilating our community and the next generation of educated adults! There is a farce going on within our education system, it has been orchestrated for many years, established by evil, manipulative, corrupt individuals, made to deceive and miss-educate the masses. Their doctrine for our education system is as such: "The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort, so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little, if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintaining some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class." This excerpt was taken from the Operations Research Technical Manual TM-SW7905.1/Energy, from the Policy Committee of the Bilderberg Group. What has been done is our minds have been disengaged and our mental activities have been sabotaged. The educational system has been deliberately made to teach us a lower quality of education in logic,systems design, economics, law as well as science,mathematics,and real history. So in a nutshell our personal technical creativity is slowly disintegrating with each passing generation.

Statistics on The American Education System
The National Education Commission on Time and Learning did a two year study on American academics verses foreign countries academics. The Statistics are as followed:
-41% of the school day is spent on basic academics(english, math, science, and history/social studies).
-The rest of the 59% of the school day is devoted to course work in self-esteem, gym, personal safety, Aids education, holistic health, family life, drivers education, and consumer training.
-The American student averages around 1,460 hours spent on academic subjects in four years of school.
-Japan averages 3,170 hours, France averages 3,280 hours, and Germany averages 3,528 hours on academic subjects in four years of school.
Looking at these stats, the average American student spends less than half the school day focusing on and studying academic subjects. These foreign countries spend an amazingly two to three times more hours on their academics than students in the United States. This is the reason why it is said that the best and brightest of American students cannot even compare to our foreign counterparts. When America's smartest top one percent students are matched up against the smartest students in other countries, the United Stated was last on the totem poll.
More Educational Statistics and Studies
-The National Research Council said that the "Average students in other countries are as proficient in math as the best American students.
-The Second International Mathematics Study found that the performance of the top five percent of American students is matched by the top fifty percent of the students in Japan.
These researched facts, which are public knowledge and available to the public, proves that our education system is sub par to the education systems in other nations around the world. Is our education system so great that average foreign students matches up to some of our smartest top students in the nation? From the prior description of the education system, our system does not sound so great. As a matter of fact our school system is idiotic! It is idiotic, because we ask way less of our students than other countries. It is idiotic, because this is known and nobody wants to say or do anything about it. This is the intentional dumbing down of the America people point, blank, period!

Education Reform---------------Really?
Every time you turn around the government is talking about education reform. Yeah, like they are really concerned about the education of American youths with the types of unsuccessful and foolish reforms they have put in place. The truth is that some of these different reforms that was implemented are really the same reform, with the same way of doing things, the same goals with a different name. Goals 2000, America 2000, and No Child Left Behind are all the same thing. There is no difference between the three except the president that implemented them. These so called reforms are all OBE-Outcome Based Education. OBE mixes academic control with behavior modification. This is a type of social engineering that use value clarification and behavior modification as instruments to control the knowledge that is obtained and to modify or change behaviors, attitudes, values, and beliefs. It holds the academic achievement of students to the lowest levels of academic achievement. With this type of education system no one student or group of students will achieve more than others and the faster learners are held back until the slower learners catch up. The tool used in OBE that change complexed human behaviors, students beliefs in absolutes of right/wrong and good/bad is called HOTS or Higher Order Thinking Skills. This is basically what parents all ready teach their children. So with the use of this HOTS tool, the education system/government are having the teachers UN-teach what parents have already instilled in their children and teach them the values and beliefs in absolutes of right/wrong and good/bad that the higher ups want them to have. They are taking the place of raising our children on the hush! It just might be the time to start home schooling your children.
Education analysts Dwight Williams and Edward Lederman authors of "The ABCs of OBE:Whats Wrong with 'Outcome Based Education", stated six things that wrong with Outcome-Based Education:
1. OBE prohibits successful students from moving on to more advanced material until every student in the class has mastered the current material. Although theoretically intended to promote group learning, the effect has been to slow advanced students, while slower students slow down even more.
2. OBE denigrates traditional motivations for learning such as test scores because under OBE no student is allowed to fail.
3. OBE is often presented to parents in a disguised form, under a variety of names, such as "standards-based" education.
4. OBE proponents such as Mrs. Clinton and Labor Secretary Reich see education as the production of group-oriented, other-directed corporate employees,rather than well-informed, skeptical, individualist citizens of a republic.
5. Although OBE jargon uses attractive terms such as "critical thinking," those terms are redefined to mean their opposite. For example: "critical thinking"means the use of emotion, rather than logic, to make politically correct decisions.
6. To pay an army of OBE education consultants, schools divert vast resources into retraining teachers to use a program of no proven effectiveness. (To read the complete article click here)

America's Dumbing Down De-Education Stats & Data
The result is a tragic legacy of educational mediocrity:
* More than a decade after "A Nation at Risk" drew attention to the nation's educational mediocrity, the reading proficiency of nine- and thirteen-year-old's has declined even further.
* The 1994 National Assessment of Educational Progress found that a third of American seventeen-year-olds say they are not required to do homework on a daily basis.
* Only one high school junior out of fifty (2 percent) can write well enough to meet national goals.
* Less than 10 percent of seventeen-year-olds can do "rigorous" academic work in "basic" subjects.
* In the United States today, only one in five nine-year-olds can perform even basic mathematical operations. According to the 1990 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), only one in six nine-year-olds read well enough to "search for specific information, interrelate ideas, and make generalizations." Only one in four nine-year-olds can apply basic scientific information."
* Among American thirteen-year-olds, only one in ten can "find, understand, and summarize complicated information." Only one in eight eighth graders can understand basic terms and historical relationships. One in eight understands specific government structures and relationships."
* Only one in eight thirteen-year-olds can understand and apply intermediate scientific knowledge and principles. The NAEP found that the percentage of American thirteen-year-olds who understand measurement and geometry concepts and can analyze scientific knowledge and principles "was among the lowest of many countries in the developed world."" The 1990 NAEP concluded that "Large proportions, perhaps more than half of our elementary, middle, and high school students are unable to demonstrate competency in challenging subject matter in English, mathematics, science, history, and geography. Further, even fewer appear to be able to use their minds well."
* The writing ability of American students is little short of appalling. American schools, according to the NAEP, produce few students who can write well. Only 3 percent of American fourth, eighth, and twelfth graders can write above a "minimal" or "adequate" level, according to the 1992 "Writing Report Card." The test, which rated students' writing abilities on a scale of one to six, found that fewer than one in thirty American children earned a score of five or six, which meant they could write effectively and persuasively. Only one out of four students even managed to write at the "developed" level, which earned a score of four. "Even the best students who could write effective narrative and informative pieces had difficulty" writing persuasively, the study found." In 1988, only 3 percent of American high school seniors could describe their own television viewing habits in writing above an "adequate" level.
* A "reading report card" finds that 25 percent of high school seniors can barely read their diplomas. A standardized test given to 26,000 Americans, sixteen and older "concluded that 80 million Americans are deficient in the basic reading and mathematical skills needed to perform rudimentary tasks in today's society. 1113A1993 study by the U.S. Department of Education found that 90 million adults - 47 percent of the population of the United States - demonstrate low levels of literacy. The level of literacy among adults had fallen by 4 percent since 1986 .
* Only 15 percent of college faculty members say that their students are adequately prepared in mathematics and quantitative reasonings lower proportion than among higher-education faculty in Hong Kong, Korea, Sweden, Russian, Mexico, Japan, Chile, Israel, or Australia. Only one in five faculty members thinks students have adequate writing and speaking skills.
* A Washington, D.C., grade-school teacher reports that many of the fifth- and sixth-grade students in her geography class were unable to locate Washington, D.C., on a map of the United States, even though they lived in the nation's capital themselves. A survey by the Gallup Organization found that one in seven adults can't find the United States on a blank map of the world. This shouldn't be surprising. In one college geography class 25 percent of the students could not locate the Soviet Union on a world map, while on a map of the forty-eight contiguous states, only 22 percent of the class could identify forty or more states correctly.
* Despite the growing importance of scientific knowledge, surveys have found that Americans are woefully ignorant of basic scientific facts. A majority of Americans,. for example, do not know that the earth and sun are part of the Milky Way galaxy. A 1994 survey by Louis Harris & Associates and the American Museum of Natural History found that only about one adult in five scored 60 percent or better on a test of basic knowledge of subjects like space, animals, the environment, diseases, and earth.
* Teachers report that the fall of Communism and the demolition of the Berlin Wall was greeted with blank indifference by many students who knew too little about history to understand or care about the events. "I'm sorry," one high school senior asked during a class discussion of the Eastern Bloc, "but what is this talk of satellites?"
* In the late 1980s, a national survey of high school seniors found that fewer than half could define even basic economic terms. Nearly two thirds of the seniors were unable to correctly define "profit," and less than half could define a "government budget deficit." Most seniors were also baffled by the concept of "inflation." The author of the "Report Card on the Economic Literacy of U.S. High School Students" concluded that "our schools are producing a nation of economic illiterates," and that the level of economic knowledge of students who had the benefit of twelve years of education is "shocking."" Especially damning was the finding that even students who took basic high school economics answered only 52 percent of the questions correctly. Students who took "consumer economics" got only 40 percent of the answers correct, while students who took social studies courses were right only 37 percent of the time. A 1992 survey by the National Center for Research in Economic Education and the Gallup Organization yielded similar results. High school seniors answered basic economic questions correctly only 35 percent of the time.
* SAT verbal scores have dropped from a mean of 478 in 1962 to 423 in 1994-a drop of 54 points. The SAT mean math score has fallen from 502 to 479 - a drop of 23 points. While math scores have risen 8 points since 1984, they are still below 1974 levels. The national verbal average has fallen 3 points since 1984. During the same period (1960-90), spending on elementary and secondary education increased more than 200 percent, after inflation. Class size has decreased by one third, enrollment has declined by 7 percent, and the number of teachers has increased by 17 percent. Moreover, the decline in test scores came at a time when average teacher salaries and the percentage of teachers with advanced degrees both tripled.
There are obvious real-world consequences for this decline:
* American businesses are now spending $30 billion on workers' training and lose an estimated $25 to $30 billion a year as result of their workers' weak reading and writing skills.
* A survey by the National Association of Manufacturers found that nearly a third of American businesses said the learning skills of their workers are so low that they are unable to reorganize work responsibilities. A quarter of American businesses say their ability to improve their products is limited because of the inability of their employees to learn the necessary skills.
* In a recent year, the Bell-south Corporation in Atlanta found that fewer than 10 percent of their job applicants met minimal levels of ability for sales, service, and technical jobs. At the same time, MCI Communications in Boston reported that some of its jobs were going unfilled because the company could not find enough qualified applicants.
* In late 1992, executives at Pacific Telesis found that 60 percent of the high school graduates applying for jobs at the firm failed a company exam set at the seventh-grade level.

The Final Thought!
Okay, it's like this, the longer you keep your children in the public or private school systems, then the longer it will take you to deprogram them. You basically need to home school your children to put a complete stop to the indoctrination. Your children are being poisoned by the immunizations, their mind is blocked from critical thinking, their subconscious is bombarded with distractions, and they don't have the means to think independently. This is a major problem because the children are our future, right, so what can we do! We must ban together and allow a community to raise a child like back in the day. It is alright if another adult corrects your child, you shouldn't get offended, it is not about you, don't be so selfish, there are some things you can't teach your child and Yah has allowed people to be in your life for a season and a reason. Think on that!
