Education is a pit that will gladly deepen itself for government subsidy.

The State demands better pass rates, and educational institution do their darnedest... for a price. Yet that price mostly purchases grade inflation, like an under-the-table agreement to pass Bucky from one level to the next despite his lack of preparedness.

An article shared by @brandonsbytes in Christianity talks about the politicization within higher-ed which effectively replaces education-centered content with an instructor's subscribed propaganda. I see that firsthand at my institution, and I would not be surprised if it's happening in high school.

My bride used to work in elementary education. The school's philosophy, which was not uncommon for the district, was that the students feel loved in the classroom. I would hear day after day how certain disciplinary and education routes were expended with in service of that end (while not meeting that end at all).
