thatababy: i was born in the new golden age of education!! i really don't have to learn anything...instead, i'll be taught how to access information on demand as needed! i'll be done with school and backpacking through europe by age 12!
“Golden Age” my foot. It will only be the Golden Age of education when the government starts paying teachers a salary worthy of their talents. It always boggles my mind how every company in existence knows that when you don’t pay your employees enough money for their talents they find a different job, sometimes in a different field, and yet the government just tells teachers to “suck it up” and expects them to keep teaching.
Low compensation = low quality product (the product in this case is the education of the students)
Hah. In 2032, a mass coronal ejection event will fry every device, network, and power grid, and your whole generation will wander around lost until they starve.

Education in this nation has gone downhill since the Feds began with it a few decades ago.

Good try. All it means is that you’ll need to be more creative with the vast amount of information that’s available at your fingertips.
