Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Words are dangerous things
A very vague definition for something that we hold with such great esteem in the United States, and globally?
We would argue that it is purposely vague and without context so that it can be whatever it needs to be to sell you on a "good" education and a mountain of debt. An education is important, but what our schools are providing is not that. What we get from our schools is being put on a treadmill and processed like any other product. We are promised a bright future, and delivered into a world of broken promises and more lies, without the context, information, or tools to overcome the challenges we face. What we have today is a school system, what we need is an environment of learning. Teachers are the only saving grace in the system, trying to overcome the system to actually teach, but not all teachers, and so many leave teaching because of the constant, and ever changing challenge.
An exploration of mathmatics and context
Run, run away... Not really, we are not going over Algebra or Calculus here. We are talking about life math, how understanding relative math can help you see the truth in all the misinformation, nicer than saying lies, blasted at us daily. Understanding relative math helps you ask the next question, helps you understand what is missing so that you can find it and see more clearly. This is the context of math, the part that is missing from instruction, the part that makes it relatable to everyone. School does not do a good job of providing context in their push to feed facts and figures to us so that we can pass (take) a test. School, compulsory education, is a con game whose original goal was to create workers for industrialists that had enough knowledge to be useful, but not enough to be challenging. Hence, school degrees were required to get jobs, then inflated so higher degrees were needed, and then sold, so that debt was created, and so forth. We said it was a con game, and it is, because the promise is a successful career with a good company where your work would be rewarded. Is that our reality? Here is some math for you: 46% of American workers are one paycheck away from homelessness! That is 151,570,000 U.S. citizens, almost half the country. All of these people are carrying debt to get by, at outrageous interest rates that they will never be able to pay off without filing for bankruptcy.
Everything can be useful and relatable when there is context.
