Education is a joy to kill

Education is a joy to kill We all have suffered some in the hands of the latest teaching methods "Forty years ago, children would not object and, therefore, had to repeat the whole year. Sometimes they do not for as little as missing, 25 points on a final exam. Dedication, hard work, good participation in class, a positive attitude towards ... nothing to make the grade. They were regarded as failures, not the system, but individual failures, it is their fault if they do not. I have a friend who is a sad example of this system. When he was in 5th grade, he was not in Latin, perhaps, half a point. E 'must repeat the entire year because of the Latin language, only the discipline of Latin has been removed from the register and is no longer part of the system. In other words, has been chosen for something that no longer exists. How is tragic? And even worse, as did make him feel? Subsequently, the system has determined that children are not supposed to be "punished" in this way. In theory is that the recovery was a better way to deal with those who can not go to class. They would be considered during the holidays for the loss of work. Then you can go forward, provided that the fact of a degree. In my opinion, is a much better way to assess students. And just as well. But the system must move forward until we have reached today, the democratic education for lack of better term. This system, so sweet to the student self-esteem is another disaster for the moment, we are pleased to college students who receive, without the ability to read and write. Too many students are able to support the 7th. "Now when we think these are the people control every aspect of our lives in the near future, you always wonder how to survive the flood of semi-illiterate head of our country. The problem is that now we have two extremes. While there are people who have suffered, because they were called "options", "stupid" "idiot" and "slow", to put it mildly, we have also inflated ego who can barely write own name. What should we do? How can we resolve this paradox, and not only to prepare our students for a great and realistic world, but also to ensure that everyone will be there and be happy for him? The education system is not us, is that the aggravation We believe everyone should go to school. I disagree; college education, for example, is not for everyone. In today's society, only 25% of graduates working in the field of their choice. So, why waste resources, staff and govement, in pursuing an education that will be useless to a professional? My point is that, as in all societies of the world, ancient or mode, literate or illiterate, there is room for everyone. Even in the Brave New World, the phrase "to each his own" applies. This means that, in the same way that we are not all made by lawyers, politicians and artists, we are not all keepers, mechanics, or truck. In a truly democratic society, where education inspires the individual to do his best, regardless of their profession to choose, everyone is a winner, because everyone is really happy.
