Educational goals!

I had an interesting interview for a TA position this morning. It brought out a point that ails America. As mentioned earlier in fear and love blog, it seems the primary reason for failure of American public education system might be the "fear." There is fear that the ones with the most potential and promise might actually fulfill that potential, so the schools only meet the minimum neceassary, just in case the rest who are not the best and the brightest will not feel too bad about themselves. Similarly, there is fear to promote social good, just in case the "evil" also make use of the same facilities that can promote social harmony. No wonder, the students become apathetic and dwell in a morass of ignorance while the world continue to pay for the follies of the mighty ones. It is easier to rule a flock of sheep than pack of wolf. But the price paid for producing sheep will be beyond our imagination. The mighty shall fall when the they choose the convenience of ruling over the sheep rather than producing those who question their every move and are not afraid to let them know of their follies.
