The corruption

Society needs schools in order to function. First you have to understand that school is not a place that is going to give you skills or experience in your future career. If materialism or getting rich is all you want, the best suggestion I cam give you is dropout right now and start working, so when you are 30 or 40, you are the one who has a lot of experience and ideas. There is a penalty; you will be a living-dead. You will lose your spirit of life, you will be called as a person who exists, but not a person who lives.
Let us return to that question: “what is school really?” My own definition is this: a school is a place where ideas gather, remarkable and landmark ideas; some of those ideas are discovered by generations; some of those ideas are discovered with tears. Scientists, writers, mathematicians devoted their whole life into a certain area of study, and we are honored to read, study, analyze, and understand their works.

The thing is, there are too many people who want to be a member of the living dead. United States has lost its sense of value. Writers, thinkers, philosophers have lost the identity they used to have sixty years ago. With the rise of China and India, more and more people will lose their jobs, the gas prices keep increasing, and your life will not be happy one.
Apparently the citizens of the United States are not reflecting on what they have done, identifying their position, and predict their future. World War II and the Cold War have made the United States the most dominate country in the world. Economy and education are the two dominating influences known in the world. But right now, on the economy side, the United States is declared to be in recession; moreover, on the education side, students are no longer motivated to learn, but instead they will do whatever is necessary to get them into a career based on college.
So citizens, you have a choice, you can wait for the depression or some other major crisis that to happen in the next forty to fifty years, and then start to think, or maybe you want to start now.
