[Margaret Pilkington]

The current education system is totally different.
The children are doing stuff at primary school that I did not come across until secondary school....we did not get homework at primary school.

I consider that my education during my school years was sub standard...except, it was suitable for the time....and they were really only educating us to be factory fodder.

Now children are being taught to pass exams, but not really to think broadly...or to question WHAT they are being fed....or WHY they are being taught to think only as those in power want them to think....there has been a serious dumbing down of minds.

This is because those who do not think broadly are easier to control and manipulate.

The internet is a double edged sword....it gives people like me the ability to educate ourselves....but it is also insidious in that it can indoctrinate if you do not analyse what you are being told...and ask yourself the pertinent questions.

I am still learning, still have not got my Masters degree in the University of Life.
