[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1036988, member: 14544"] I'd like to agree with you, but I can't. Known many people with nothing more than a 3rd grade education that were honest as the day is long, served others before themselves, fed kids that weren't their own (when they barely had enough as it was), worked hard and eventually made something from themselves. They learned from the good examples set around them. Know many more people today that are about as highly educated as you can get, and are some of the worst examples of people you can meet. More interested in what is in it for them. I'm no saint. But when I feel humbled and see morality, it usually has nothing to do with education and more with compassion and lack of self interest. And sometimes a child is better at teaching that than an adult. Maybe the answer is more in how we don't screw up a kid with education and all the "me" propaganda. I tend to think that the liberal education system is why my country is in the trouble it is. If we brought back the good book to the schools and churches, then that would be education I think would make a difference- forgiveness, honesty, respect for elders, respect for the law, giving without expectation of receiving, helping widows and orphans, being of humble mind, work as if working for the Lord and not for man, loving your neighbor as yourself and even your enemy. Until then, we can throw whatever new age Dr. Spock speak we want at them, we will get the same or worse results. Good has a source, until we accept that, the wheels will keep falling off. [/QUOTE]
