Recovering the Code upon which our nation was built

[Amisk]

"It’s interesting that for public safety and security, the United Kingdom now has a closed-circuit TV camera for every seven persons, making it the most-scrutinized nation in the world. Big Brother is watching. But observation of the citizenry cannot replace the internalizing by those citizens of a moral code to guide their behaviour.

Education and politics have nearly abolished the code upon which Western Civilization built the freest, safest and most prosperous society the world had ever seen. Will we have the courage to recover that code?"

"FREE" Education.

A century ago, schools started popping up: Progress.
Kids had the option to get a free education. Whoopie.

90 years ago, laws were passed: Kids MUST attend school to the 8th Grade.
OK, the populous bent-over and accepted it.
Later: HEY! People should go to High School.
OK.
Then, everyone needs to learn Algebra.
Hmm.
Now, load-up on an intense schedule, AND LIKE IT.
A pity.

I doubt people will see the error of this forced encampment.
Most kids like school (or rather, tolerate it).
To others, it is a painful experience: Too much History, Science, Computers . . . not enough Fun subjects.
I am glad-enough that I went to School.
I am sorry for people who aren't so lucky. My prayers go out to them

Actually UK has 1 camares per 15 people not 7.

There are about 60 mil. Britons, 4 mil. cameras.. Thus...

I am glad that I am homeschooled. Not as much pressure. Still, school can be frustrating a lot of the time. Will learning how to disect a frog really help me in life 15 years from now? All it teaches me is what the guts of a frog look like. Lol.
