I for one enjoyed it. There is alot of truth in what that had to say. It's amazing how we are schooled socially as young children, but then polluted as Adults by this plastic World. I guess that's reality, but it should not be. Great post my friend. Very positive, while tapping into the roots of our own experience. Well, most of us who have been fortunate enough to do so. ~SheopleNation

Umm no, while good points they also make you a good cog in the wheel.

The best part of life (educationally) is understanding where you come from. Delve into the history of this world, that which the public indoctrination centers don't touch or teach. You'll be amazed at how cruel or amazing the human being can be, and the great feats we are capable of achieving.

There is more to life than 'do unto others', 'share', and 'nap'....

Every year past primary school is only a tool to seperate and oppress people.
All I learnt after year 6 was not to stand up to authority.

But does it need to be forced on people by the government? I think we are legally made to go to school for at least nine years to force people to learn to listen to ANY authority figures as a way of keeping people from doing what is natural human actions and speak against what they believe to be right.

Also, I think middle schools and high schools are so viscous because the elitists intentionally made them that way through the media, if you can tell teens whats cool and whats not and make them look down on people for being "uncool" then you can break someones unique individuality and make them think they can never be different from what the media and trend-setting television stations like MTV say they should be like. Coincidentally the media has labeled all the conspiracy theorists to be complete nuts.

You might say "the amount of academic curriculum involved in the mandatory 9 years of school is the perfect amount to prepare someone for adult life" but, i would have to disagree. Most people in their 30s, who didn't go to college, don't remember what they learned past 6th grade cause it gets too complicated to remember without constant use (e.g. day to day activities which normally don't include anything learned past 6th grade). Then there's the working aspect. You can go to school for 12 years and still only be able to get a job that has nothing to do with anything you learned in high school (9 outta 10 times).

I don't believe kindergarten is the only education the government should force upon people i think 6th grade is the perfect grade to stop preparing someone for adult life. Of course it could still go to 12th grade and then people would have access to even higher learning than that through college but it's my opinion that going to through school for so long is a way of the government programming us in some subliminal way. No proof it just makes sense, with the lack of proof of things like this sometimes you just gotta trust yourself.

Yeah, obviously. I think we have already tried it that way my friend. That was the OP's point I would guess. ~SheopleNation

One thing that is not learned in school is how there was a huge fight against it. People that lived off the land were told that their children would be forced to go to school, and even with little or no formal education they knew that it was wrong, and people knew it was a form of indoctrination when corporal punishment was around, and still is in the U.S. If you didnt follow the rules, you were hit, by an authority figure, until you learned to "bee-have".

You learn their his-tory, not real history. Christopher Columbus discovered America! Really, is that really still taught in schools? You learn to be a "worker" bee, and nothing else. If your different your picked on, you are treated like an animal (the Povlove experiment) with the school bell.

Children are ripped away from their parents, so that they learn to be good little soldiers. I hope that more parents learn about the school system. You can start by reading, "Lies My Teacher Told Me".

Peace, NRE.

I think the real problems come in at college level. In grade school and high school it is more about having social issues with other students but the curriculum is pretty basic learning stuff.

College to me is just:

Ii wish the professor would shut the # up and do what he is paid to do and that is to teach. I dont want your damn opinion on life, on politics, on religion. Dont give two #s about that really.

And i do agree with the OP as far as kindergarten.

You guys are all pretty much in agreement, which is cool.

The term Kindergarten is actually German in origin and what a surprise...They are the most rigid regimen of people probably with the exception of the Japanese that you will come across and rigidity is almost the biggest factor of what made the Nazis so formidable during WWII.

But it wasn't my aim to go in that direction, though you are all on a very relevant path. My aim was about the simplicity of it and how it applies to the crazy times we find ourselves in. It also applies to our personal lives that we so easily muck up.

Yea, the government sucks and doesn't do stuff right.
Wonderful and light-hearted children's tale.

Uhh.. Wait, you actually believe everything you need to survive and thrive you learned in kindergarten...?
Well. You said don't do an analysis... Which basically means don't think deeply... And it's not up for debate...

So I'll just go ahead and skip the crap and say you're wrong.

Sorry if that makes you mad, but if you don't like people expressing what they think, don't post on ATS.

What you need today to survive is a way to make a sufficient amount of money.
What you needed in the past to survive was the ability to grow edible fauna, shepherd animals, built shelter, etc.

I don't mean to be this critical, but perhaps a better title would have been "Interesting Correlations Between What We Learn in Kindergarten and The Way We Live"

My, oh my..... It's getting hot in this kindergarten room. Some people aren't following the rules. Go stand in the corner! ((((while I get my ruler out to smack your fanny)))))
