Quote from: RE on Nov 03, 2023, 09:20 AMI have written previously in some thread here about the Collapse of Public Education, ongoing since shortly after my graduation from Stuyvesant in 1974 and in an increasing downward spiral ever since. It actually probably was already underway by then, just I wasn't aware of it due to having been tracked into a program run by NYC schools to identify the top 1% of students and provide them a college bound preparatory curriculum. I recall that my sister's regular local NYC HS H.S. was already a worthless shithole when she graduated 6 years before me.

Forget college, and forget public schools. Let your kid study online and take a GED test. Public Education has Officially Collapsed.

A few comments,
1. Stuyvesant was an awesome place for a kid commuting from western Queens.
2. The only useful knowledge anyhow is metaphysical or spiritual knowledge. Like all this tower of Babel building will lead to nowhere.
3. Although it was somewhat cheesy, the zeitgeist of the 70's was stellar compared to today.
4. American don't need to learn as they have been earmarked for extinction.
