I think the majority of these are in the millennial generation. This anon was a teacher about 15 years ago and got out because, even back then, the drive for constant praise, rewards, and breakdown of individual responsibility was obvious. I, and others, warned of what kind of mindset this would produce, but I have to admit that even I did not realize how severe the repercussions would be.

 

These young kids grew into young adults that not only have a complete disregard for things like accountability, self-reliance, and individual volition, but they are wholly lacking even the most basic understanding of their own histories. Forget trying to convince them about corruption in the media - they don't even know the basics, except that every institution in Western Civilization is the product of racism and is to be hated and torn down.

 

There is absolutely no hope for them, and if they are every confronted with real cognitive dissonance, they don't have any of the necessary skills to cope. They'll kill themselves and have to be institutionalized.

 

Those that are of an older generation can be saved.

The entire educational system is rotten from top-to-bottom, but there are still isolated pockets (red-state) where local school boards resist state overreach and do much better. The university system is now designed to catch the kids coming from these communities and reprogram them….the rhetoric that was prevalent when I taught was that anybody who didn't go to college was a failure, something I told the students was a lie (and got into trouble for it)…so the push is everyone go to college, where you can "undo" and damage done by communities that ACTUALLY care about real education.

 

The entire system needs to be destroyed. Local control, removal of compulsion, and market solutions need to prevail.

>But I believe the classic liberal arts still needs to be an integral part of everyone's upbringing.

 

The single biggest red flag in high school education is the complete absence of philosophy and theology. Setting aside the culture war which opposes any theology being present in public schools…these two subjects are a history of ideas, essentially. To have no exposure to them (other than to study Plato or Aquinas as historical figures), is to be left severely handicapped in understanding ideological evolution, which has been the driving force of history, either because ideas themselves have pushed historical events, or because they have been used to do so.

 

Studying these disciplines is not to indoctrinate children with "truth", but to show which perceptions and epistemology have shaped people's thoughts and produced history.

 

It is laughable to say anyone can be truly educated without it. Throw out the study of big thinkers, and you damage one's understanding of history. Throw out the ultimate thinker, God, and you damage one's future.
