.This article started from a quote by Steve Jobs in 1980, to the effect that we weren't doing a very good job in the public schools but it would be quite easy to give every kid a good education.

 Steve Jobs is  a smart practical guy. I think his opinion should be presumed true.

 The problem comes with explaining our Education Establishment. They think that education is difficult, impossible,  unlikely, needs another trillion dollars, etc. The truth is, they're all totalitarian levelers. The article contains a bunch of quotes from some of the big names in education. Everyone should look at these quotes just to understand what education's DNA really is. Scary

Here's one from Benjamin Bloom, who has to be one of the biggest pretenders that ever lived. People think he had something to say about knowledge. He never did. His whole focus was on transforming, indeed warping, a child's mind so the child would necessarily agree with people like Bloom. Scary and sad.

“[A] student attains ‘higher order thinking’ when he no longer believes in right or wrong….A large part of what we call teaching is a teacher’s ability to obtain affective objectives by challenging the student’s fixed beliefs…[T]he teacher should be able to use education to reorganize a child’s thoughts, attitudes, and feelings.”   Benjamin Bloom, concoctor of Bloom’s Taxonomy, 1956
