Maybe It's Time to Reconsider...

Is it time to reconsider education? 

Who are the ones protesting on Wall Street?  The themes for which they are protesting are varying; but there's one aspect that's troubling...  they're mostly college kids.

Rewind 20 years, I had a conversation with a banker in Spain.  He was from Venezuela and he said he didn't want to send his kids to school there.  He felt the only thing they were teaching was Communism.  I hadn't paid much attention to that comment until I heard the name Hugo Chavez.  Venezuela.  Communist.  What are we seeing come out of our schools?

Now the government is assuming control of all school loans... Why? 

College kids, professors seem to be leading the majority of violent demonstrations, and they use phrases like "Stop Captitalism."  Again Why?  ... and where would they get an idea like that?

I want my kids to learn to communicate and to learn to solve problems...  I'm not so sure the schools are teaching that these days.  I see that they create them.  So... I'm looking to place my last kid in business or to a trade/tech school.  I don't care to fund socialism anymore and risk my child's education, or is it "re-education."

Truly it is a bitter irony that all those protestors on Wall and other streets are clothed, fed, transported, and freely communicate due to the fruits of--what else--capitalism.
