Random reflections on public education and life

I must say, at this point, that there is literally nothing that makes sense to me in public education as it exists today.

So many people making so many decisions for everyone else for so little purpose except to exaggerate their already exaggerated sense of self-importance.

It's strange to me, sometimes, that education, for me, was an opportunity to develop my own sense of independent and critical thought. And that both are so thoroughly discouraged at all levels of education except when it conforms with the predispositions, often ideological and rarely any-other-logical-at-all, of those who have the power to enforce them.

Life, like education, often doesn't make much sense, I think, at this point. Except when the bullshit begins to unravel.

And, then, finally, some real progress can be made.
