We havent even talked about the worst thing that happens in Public Schools yet. We all know they dont support teaching the information that they are expected to, we know that what is taught in Schools is Conformity and Authority, but what we dont talk about is how they fail to teach anyone, including Teachers, to think for themselves. A society of fully awake citizens capable of Critical Thinking is the most dangerous thing that could happen to the Status Quo.
It is more important to understand HOW to Think rather than WHAT to Think, IMHO.
For example: Mathematics. The Easy Way. One Hundred Eleven Million One Hundred Eleven Thousand One Hundred Eleven SQUARED is Twelve Quadrillion Three Hundred Forty Five Trillion Six Hundred Seventy Eight Billion Nine Hundred Eighty Seven Million Six Hundred Fifty Four Thousand Three Hundred Twenty One. Wow! That's a mouthful! And my fingers are tired. Go punch it in on a calculator. Or the Button formely known as Start, Run, calc, hit enter. Punch in the numbers. It is dead accurate. I'll explain how to do it in your head in a sec...
Schools fail to teach Critical Thinking and how to think for yourself. They fail to teach people to recognize PATTERNS. Most things we recognize as useful comes from there being a pattern. Cows bear offspring. Pattern. When animals get preggers, they produce milk. Milk that can be harvested and sold. Pattern. Wheels are round. Pattern. Mathematics is ALL Patterns. Here is another one. The "Elevens" Trick. Whats Forty Two times Eleven? Four Hundred Sixty Two. Dont do the long math or the way you were taught in school, look for the Pattern. If you simply add the two numbers together and put the sum in the middle, you get the Right Answer. Four plus Two is Six, thus its Four Six Two. I'll just go back to typing in actual numbers now instead of spelling them out. 25 x 11 = 2 + 5 which is 7, put it in between the 2 and the 5 and you have 2 7 5, 275. How much money do you have if you have 11 quarters? Make sense?
Numbers with 1 in them are usually the easiest to do in your head. And its all about patterns. But if we dont teach patterns, you'll never know what you missed. So we've already had the "Elevens Trick". The SQUARES of whole numbers consisting of ALL ONES is also extremely easy. Again, dont do the Long Math the way you were taught in school, and this isnt some of that New Math Bullshit. Try this one 111 Squared. That means 111 x 111. The EASY way to do it is to count the total number of numbers in the string itself. There are THREE numbers in the string. Thus, count to THREE, then back down to ONE. 1 2 3 2 1. Or with correct comma placement, 12,321. Check it on your Calculator. Easy Peasy right? How about this one? 11,111 Squared? Five digits, count from ONE to FIVE, then back down to ONE. 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1. Or with correct comma placement: 123,454,321 Thats a one hundred million figure number that you can pull effortlessly out of your head in less than a second. So lets go back to the biggest number this trick works for, total of NINE numbers: 111,111,111 Squared, or 111,111,111 Times 111,111,111 has a solution of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. See the Pattern? 12,345,678,987,654,321, or like I said earlier, Twelve Quadrillion. Most people dont even know what follows a Trillion. Most peole dont even know what a Trillion. Well, lets break it down. Trillion. Tri. Tri means 3. Triangle. Billion. Bi. Bi means 2. Million. Mil means 1. Thus after 3, you go to 4. 4 is Quad. Its just Latin. After Quad its Quin, which means 5, Sex is Latin for Six not to put your peepee in her hoohaa. Septillion Sep, like September because September used to be the Seventh Month. Sep is 7. So on and so forth. This is BASIC MATH. Nothing hard about it. But we teach it like it takes someone elses approval of you for you to be able to perform two plus two.
Critical Thinking is the most important thing that we have failed to teach. Critical Thinking allows us to recognize the patterns and ask the pertinent useful questions. And its pretty clear why it was one of the first classes to get cut when School Budgets got cut.
So what is the solution to the whole problem? People need to quit expecting someone else to actually give a shit about their lives and their childrens lives and grow a pair and do something to improve their own lives. The Home Schoolers are the best example. They take responsibility for educating their children where the Government has failed to live up to its empty promises. Home Schoolers teach their children what is relevant, how to think, and do a much better job than any free service. Have you ever gotten anything for free? Yeah, its fucking crap. Sign up for our "Free Newsletter". Crap. They just sell your email address. Someone gives away free food? Yeah, its crap. Its part of a promotion. Usually promoting the cheapest garbage they can so their cost is probably less than running a commercial. FREE IS SHIT. Free Education is not excluded from that statement. Nothing is Free. Anything offered as Free can be just as easily accomplished by a little effort on the persons part, or it is given in exchange for some measure of control, influence, or coersion. And I am using the word Free to mean "Without Cost", as the definition of the word changes when used in statements like "Free Market" which means without control, but not without value. The cost of Free when it comes to Schools is that it costs us our children's minds and their futures. The costs of Free are too high for me to ever reasonably think that Public Education has any value. I'd spend the rest of my life trying to undo the damage that a Public Indoctrination Center would and could do to my child in a single day. Let alone a Lifetime. And Free usually attracts those desprate enough that eventually they are taught exactly what is expected to be learnt, Dependancy. Dependancy on the System. Dependancy on the System for the Control they were not taught to have over themselves, their minds, or their futures.
The Failures of the Public School System to teach our children how to function in a world enslaved to the rules of the Elite is a burden to be beared by all of Society for Generations to come.
