Having looked at the public education system of the United States from three viewpoints--student, parent, and teacher, I would have to concede that too often the quote is true. However, if you can find a way to learn to read, you become responsible and capable of educating yourself. Sadly, we are now into the second generation of lowest common denominator education. The teachers are now products of the system and all too often simply too dumb to secure any other job. In addition, for the most part administrators and education politicos are in the business of power, influence, money, and prestige. There are precious few among them who give two hoots about whether Susie can read, and none care if Johnny can think. I'm sure that will hit a nerve, but it's the unvarnished truth, and the US had better pay attention. Frankly, I think the entire public education system of the US is so f****d up that it can't be fixed...at least not without a revolution. The US will lose its status as the leader of the Free World because the populace is no longer sufficiently educated to maintain the top position. ...I'm so depressed about this. Possibly.
