Dumbing us down: the hidden curriculum of compulsory schooling have you ever wondered why people are being dumbed down and what causes them to be stupid? So many times people can not understand basic things and behave stupidly.what contributes to this aside from social media (the irony),smartphones (which incidentally do not make smart people ), television,low vibration company or company of people with a low level of consciousness and other frivolities?it is the present education system.we go to school to learn yet the vast majority of us after fifteen and more years at the school institution will not learn grammar(our posts will show that), rhetoric or logic,and many of us without even a basic skill like carpentry or something useful.schools waste our years and potential and the education system is flawed in many ways.my own view let us be utterly honest,it is all school institution .No one teaches how to engage in critical thinking.i guess,this is a journey where everyone has to Walk and explore themselves as their age.our schools don't work as a child expects from the schools to work smart and explore. their knowledge in a way that should make them scholar's of the society.it is our responsibility to divert these rituals into a new practical and observative system.it is matter of concern for our future to turn towards the modern ways of learning and understand .Moreover learning is the continuous process as we already all know but smart and practical as well.Open minded students should have this right to ask their teachers about all kinds of wisdom and knowledge.somebody has greatly stated that don't work hard rather work smart in a less time i'm supposing these things are never implemented in our schooling system that is the most deprived part of the learning from the people of knowledge.in addition when we utter something about schools even our own relatives will get furious and angry at us.these things has caused many unfittings in the institutions of knowledge and wisdom where importance is given to reading and writing besides these sports activities and other essential rituals are not the part and parcel of this schooling system so that is why i'm lamenting on the people of knowledge to change this scenario as early as possible it would have a great impact on our future generation.
