Episode 18: Why Liberal Arts Education is Good for Everyone (Oct. 27, 2021)
Why have American public schools gotten dumber and dumber over the last hundred years? Simple. Because the schools have systematically driven out the most important ingredient: knowledge. And the importance of knowledge is not knowing lots of miscellaneous facts, it's being able to analyze and assess those facts.
NOTE: the little square with the up arrow, to the lower right on the information above, that's how you subscribe and share. I confess I had not seen it before. But it's not visible unless you run the cursor over the sound bars. Seems inefficient to me.
Let's Fix Education explains to Americans why their schools are so bad. The people in charge prefer mediocrity because they are socialists of one kind or another. If people work together to promote real education, we'll have it.
