Why True Reform of American Public Education is Impossible

"Ever since the public school system was taken over by the behavioral psychologists at the turn of the last century, the goal has shifted from the development of intellectual and academic skills to that of changing and manipulating human behavior."

Yes, the "ship" of publically finded "education" has gone so far off course for so long it has gotten lost. The patterns and deception have become so entrenched and accepted anything else is "wrong". Today's "education" system is wholly concerned with two things: producing drones for the system to perpetuate it, and assuring the well-entrenched union people have a "secure" future. After all, "its for the children". Not really, but it SOUNDS so good.
