Joe Gauld... on Education

--- Quote --- real problem of the American education system: It has been obsolete for over a century

IF my arithmetic is correct, that says that the "Greatest Generation" was the product of a failed educational system. The U.S. went from a minor player in international politics to the largest economy in the world, lead by the product of failed education. To quote Jed Clampette, "If that don't beat all."

Oh so, nature is sentient force that designs. O.K. If nature is so smart why is it that females are coming into reproductive fertility at an earlier age at the same time society is moving the date for first child bearing later in life. Nature, if it is self aware, seems kind of stupid.[/quote]

Please no more Gibran. I can still see Joe up on the stage reading it to us. I would rather listen to Rod McKuen's mistranslation of Jacques Brel:

Good bye now Joe, it is time to die

On rummaging deeper in his published letters, I discover that Joe's offensive comparison of children to animals and insects lasted unchanged until 2001, when the editors purged of its egregious racism? chauvinism? by the simple expedient of dropping the offending metaphor. One can only sympathize with their embarrassment. Is there a word for this attitude of looking down one's nose at children?

Ah, you missed the Isn't Hyde Ever Wrong? speech, which is given a date of 2002 by the Hyde website. In that one, he referred to kids' animal instincts, as well as the ol' cocoon metaphor. Geez Louise.

Oops! And the cocoon came up again in the article he submitted in the aftermath of the CEDU bankruptcy; that was in 2005. Think that was on page 5 of this (current) thread...
