The first goal of K-12 education should be to teach critical thinking skills. Kids need to learn to think logically and to understand the meaning of a critical path. The second goal should be to teach English and communication skills. Third comes history and civics, the knowledge to become a functioning citizen. Fourth would be a basic grounding in math and science.
No, you don't understand. The first goal of education is to produce passive drones who will silently work for the lowest possible wage under the worst possible conditions and who will serve and worship big business, and who will consume to the extent that their low wages plus massive use of credit will allow.
