Yes it is faulty and not enough people seem to care. part of the problem is not all schools teach the same curriculum. What kids are taught changes from school to school, county to county, state to state. and no one wants to admit that some children are just plain stupid so they hold back the more intelligent in the classes. Teachers are under paid so good teachers become hard to find.
But I guess my biggest problem with the current school system is the lack of preparation for the "Real" world. take math for example most kids right out of high school can tell you the value of x in an equation but not how to balance a checkbook or make change for that matter.
Parents don't want their child's self esteem to be low so they get rid of doge ball, when the reality of the work place and every other facet of life is survival of the fittest. But parents don't want to be bothered to take part in their child's education either perhaps thot one thing is really ath the root to the whole problem.
Things like this weaken our children and leave them unprepared for the world ahead of them. They have been coddled and some will never recover from the shock.
That may sound harsh but I am 24 years old and this is what was being taught in public schools and many of the people I knew had a hard time adjusting to the work place in part because their superiors didn't take their feelings into consideration.

The purpose of going to school and getting an education preps you for life: one day you will have to work, whether you go to a regular high school or vocational school, and you need to be educated before you work, unless you want a job such as being a fry cook or janitor. A LOT of rich people's kids go to school, and good ones at that, and they are very successful: For Example: Donald Trump's kids George Bush's daughters Bill Clinton's daughter Everyone in the royal family in England is VERY educated and they are super rich Bill Gates' kids etc... With an education more doors are open to you and you will have a better chance of finding a good paying job. I know with the economy now, finding jobs are difficult, but I'm sure if you have your degree or master's or above, it might be a bit easier than those who do not have it. So, no, I don't believe you're right. But if you personally don't want an education you could just drop out. But even drop-outs end up either going back to school or getting their GED.

It seems that good old educational systems were far better and this can be seen in the results: all the great inventions and the development of technology, all the great people in the history of humanity are a clear proof. Today's education focuses on personal development without role models, skills with no knowledge, etc.
And here we are!

Teaching Math
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A humorous look at the differences in teaching math in the last fifty years.
Teaching Math in 1950: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price.
What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80.
What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1970: A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of a set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M". The set "C", the cost of production, contains 20 fewer points than set "M". Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question:
What is the cardinality of the set "P" for profits?
Teaching Math in 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. Her cost of production is $80 and her profit is $20. Your assignment:
Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math in 1990: By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees?
There are no wrong answers.
Teaching Math in 1996: By laying off 40% of its loggers, a company improves its stock price from $80 to $100.
How much capital gain per share does the CEO make by exercising his stock options at $80?
Teaching Math in 1997: A company out-sources all of its loggers. The firm saves on benefits, and when demand for its product is down, the logging work force can easily be cut back. The average logger employed by the company earned $50,000, had three weeks vacation, a nice retirement plan and medical insurance. The contracted logger charges $50 an hour.
Was outsourcing a good move?
Teaching Math in 1998: A laid-off logger with four kids at home and a ridiculous alimony from his first failed marriage comes
into the logging-company corporate offices and goes postal, mowing down 16 executives and a couple of secretaries, and
gets lucky when he nails a politician on the premises collecting his kickback.
Was outsourcing the loggers a good move for the company?
Teaching Math in 1999: A laid-off logger serving time in Folsom for blowing away several people is being trained as a COBOL programmer in order to work on Y2K projects.
What is the probability that the automatic cell doors will open on their own as of 00:00:01, 01/01/00?
Teaching Math in 2001: A laid-off logger joins a cult. He pays 4/5 of his savings, x, to the cult leader as penance for the bad karma he carries. If he paid $240 to the cult leader, how much was his savings?
Extra credit for quantum physics students: Is it probable that he will actually raise his vibrational level and disappear from the standard spectrum (as the leader promises) if he follows all the instructions of the cult leader?

I don't think it is all faulty. But, something more to be included in the curriculum other than history and politics, they should learn different religions, its implications and different schools of thoughts on all the religion.
More debates and brainstorming to be included. Education should not give an impression to the students that it is going to give a living so he/she should learn but, it is the very purpose of life itself.

It needs to be improved for sure, but the problem doesn't just lie with the teachers or the administration. Parents need to step up to the plate and do their part as well. I hear much teaching bashing, but I NEVER hear anyone speak up about the role of the parents. That is a component that is seriously lacking.

I think most of today's parents are faulty. It just gets blamed on the schools and teachers.

Education system is the real failure of modernity.
its no matter of specialization or country or system.
people dont learn thinking by their own.
It s a precise and wanted goal.
