Is the problem with our education system to much Christian influence?

Question

I mean if you cannot figure out 1+1+1=3 then you are just lost and you might as well write off Algebra and Trig.

Answer 1

But I thought that one plus one equals five. Now I am confused.

Answer 2

The American public education system is based on the French which comes directly from the Jesuits (Roman Catholic Society of Jesus). So you are correct that your education is a result of Christian influence. The thing I don't understand is why you are so arrogant despite being so sublimely angry about who you are and the course of history. You are obviously a very very very troubled person in an unbelievable amount of spiritual danger. If you knew how dangerous your historical/philosophical problem was and that it is simply a spiritual problem you would be fine. Did you have a Gentile father? Was he a misogynist or an emotionally abusive person? Are you a child of divorce? Divorce and emotional abuse from a parent is the definition of hell.

Answer 3

No, it is a lack of continuing training (read college courses) for long term teachers, it is school boards who try to cram too much into a school day and then end up cutting things like arts and music. And it is the highly questionable summer vacation, an hold over from when the children were needed in the fields. Children in most industrialized countries go to school more days per year and more hours per day than in America.

Answer 4

No, Christian influence is not the problem; this probably doesn't belong in this section, but the biggest problem with education in the USA is that too many parents don't want their kids disciplined. They have no respect for authority.
I can show you a mathematical proof that 1 = 2. That might be useful in explaining a trinity.

Answer 5

well lets see it is 1/3 + 1/3+1/3 = 1 is the basis of the Trinity. the American education is based on Christian teachings, Dr. Rush whom is considerd the father of the USA systems was said this. there is a intersting report that shows the fall of education scores since 1964 have fallen.






George Washington: "... whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor..."

John Jay was the first Chief Justice of he Supreme Court. He said, "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers. And it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers

lament that we waste so much time and money in punishing crimes and take so little pains to prevent them…we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government; that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible; for this Divine Book, above all others, constitutes the soul of republicanism.” “By withholding the knowledge of [the Scriptures] from children, we deprive ourselves of the best means of awakening moral sensibility in their minds.” [Letter written (1790’s) in Defense of the Bible in all schools in America]
• “Christianity is the only true and perfect religion.”
• “If moral precepts alone could have reformed mankind, the mission of the Son of God into our world would have been unnecessary.”

"Let the children who are sent to those schools be taught to read and write and above all, let both sexes be carefully instructed in the principles and obligations of the Christian religion. This is the most essential part of education”
Letters of Benjamin Rush, "To the citizens of Philadelphia: A Plan for Free Schools", March 28, 1787

Answer 6

Yes, one of the problems. Culturally we are influenced that having strong "beliefs" is more important and "valuable" than knowledge (knowing what you're talking about). It is part of the American culture in an extreme way and is not questioned because its hides our "sin" of laziness, makes us feel powerful when we're really stupid. It's idealized even by the media. We're ALL presently being punished for that sin. Someone with "strong beliefs" was trusted to run the WORLD - right into the ground.

Answer 7

Ahhh, nothing like looking for a scapegoat. A big problem is parents. I see many parents in this area who push their kids into every sport coming and going, and don't get me wrong sports are great. . .but the chances of your kid becoming the next NBA star is slim. . .education has to come first. And, it has to come from the home too. . .we put to much responsibility on the schools for our children, imo.

Answer 8

The problem isn't Christian influence, it's parents who don't value education and who pamper their children and don't teach them manners, hard work, dedication and perseverance.

Answer 9

1*1*1 = 1

The problem with our education system is the NEA.

Answer 10

Answer 11

the problem isnt christian influence, it's the influence of the NEA
