I have two teenage sons, looking back at our own education made me think about it…in fact I feel guilty for allowing my sons to go through the same crappy system.

So true about the “flow” you mention and it’s a really manipulative thing as it is.

The next generation is going to be wiser to it then we are so maybe the status quo will change one day, we can only hope. )

I wouldn’t know where to contact Robert Kiosaki…I have heard of his book etc, never read it though.
Any pointers there?

Thanks again for that comment, I apprecate it.

Great post, with a lot of thought put into it. I totally agree with you that our education system needs to change. However, in a world made up of coporations, workers and consumers it becomes a very difficult challenge to change the system that is in place.

People are taught in school to “get a job” and “go with the flow”, etc. If we had children, they would either be in private school or be home schooled, unfortunately the easiest alternative to public school, right now.

I admire your passion. See if you can connect with Robert Kiosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad). I had heard that he was creating a schooling system (maybe a university) teaching people good habits about money and investing (along with regular studies as well).

Have a great one!
