: DDN: Knowing WHAT? How to be a complacent, uninformed little consumer? Public education is only about 150 years old, but humans have been thriving on this planet for millions of years (or at least 10,000 if you’re a christian).
: How do explain our longevity as a race prior to the advent of public education?

Before public education came about all schools were what we would today call Christian schools (which are private now). Back in those days God was taught in public schools. The Bible was read daily in class. There was prayer time and kids were taught respect for others how to live a good Christian life and if you didn't like it you didn't go. It is ironic, DDN that you would long for the days before the public school system when God was the focus of school and yet you critisize Christians and Jesus on a daily basis here.And by the way, I think that public education is working ok. Just because there are a few bad apples doesn't mean it isn't working. Some parents do not play a role in thier kids developement and education and they just don't care, and that is the problem with public schools.
