Self esteem trumps academic achievement

The influence of socialism on education. Add some pop psychology into the mix and you get schools that do more harm than good. Socialism is a Utopian ideology that ignores the very basic fact that all human beings are individuals and that equality of outcome cannot be forced on them. Since all the government control and indoctrination in the world will not make a stupid kid equal with a smart kid, the response is to lower the bar in the name of equality and a misguided attempt to bolster the self-esteem of the stupid kid. Of course, there is never any regard given to damage caused to the individual and society when you punish excellence and achievement...... If you care about your children and our future, take them out of public school.
