An apt description of the status quo and its' failings.  Personally I would not call it an education, but rather indoctrination.  And personally I'd like to see the curriculum changed.  How about you?  You do appear to have a handle on the limitations of the present system, but I don't picture you reaching for the golden ring of a real education.  Maybe teach critical thinking and rhetoric, then look at content and issues through those lenses.....just for a start.  What do you think?  Or should we just roll over and accept the pathetic status quo?
