The rich get a good education and opportunities, while the poor are encouraged to have sex as early as possible.
Education as it stands in the US today is analogous to operant conditioning. Americans are generally anti-intellectual. If it involves work, they'll vilify it. That's why the best paying, highest worth jobs involve so little work, whereas the lower paying jobs that don't earn you much respect require so much work. Think a manager vs a construction worker. There's a reason why the politicians try to present themselves as "someone Joe the Plumber could have a beer with".
Unlike Europe, where in every country, every student is given private, 1-on-1 tutoring growing up, and they all legitimately want to be in school, and everyone strives to do the best the can to make something of their lives. Since the poorer people are a majority, you have bigger classes in public school. Students usually receive less attention and there is a bigger chance you'll have people being rude and not caring. When you don't pay for school, what incentive do you have to make it worthwhile? It sucks, but that's America.
Stars and celebrities don't encourage it, making the masses not give a shit at all about it. They want the fame, the riches, and the glory that follows it. A single baseball player gets paid millions for what he does. A teacher gets paid a couple hundred for what it does. Celebrites get instant millions for simply acting. Someone going to school to "get an education" ends up waiting tables to pay off their student loan, then eventually end up turning into a stripper. In other words, Americans want something that will make them instant money. They don't want to go through a slow process to aquire it.
Americans want the glamour life. They want instant money. They want the lavish lifestyle/ material shit. They want ways to make money without needing an education. If they can't download an education into their brains instantly, they wont mind remaining stupid and misinformed. It's a fucking contest over there of who can get rich without having to do nothing, quickly! Their media and magazines promote glitz & glam. Americans want that lifestyle, not an education.
You can make $20 for each 20 minute survey!
ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what big companies are paying me for. They need to know what their customer base needs and wants. So these companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, myself included, participates in surveys and gives them their opinion.
