What do you think of the Tasmanian education system ?
I have no knowledge of it August, all I can tell you is what I have observed in my own little patch of turf here in Central Victoria. Yours might be better or worse. Can't comment.

In the US the education system is at the hands of the school districts rules as they decide what the teacher can teach. On topics like history its very hard to cover 400 years in the course of a school year. The students learn a very broad over view and very few details. So if people stop learning after leaving school they really aren't going to know much. On topics like history one constantly has to keep updating yourself on new findings and evidence. So in most cases its the people remaining willfully ignorant.

Think about it.....how many people over the years have you heard say they don't like history.

CNN Ratings Continue To Tank. Check Out These BRUTAL Numbers.

For years I watched CNN and trusted them more than any other TV news outlet. They used to be a well-managed centrist news organization with a lot of integrity.

Today I only turn to CNN occasionally when I'm feeling down and in the mood for a good laugh. Their ratings are continuing to drop and they're being beaten by a lot of other cable networks, including Nickelodeon.

Censoring right-wing media outlets will only create a backlash. In this age of the internet, there are plenty of alternatives. The left is shooting itself in the foot.

What exactly is a school district?
Does that open the doors to politicizing education. If one school is in say the Democrats heartland and another in the republican. What is to stop teachers putting their own personal slant on for example History?
I imagine someone from the south would have a different view on for example your civil war than someone from the north. A centralized, country wide standard would be better wouldn't it?

School districts are from each town....and some of these towns maybe be biased as to the part of the country. The districts set the courses of study they think best. By the time one is in high school its pretty much based on what the kids want to study. I had a science course each year of high school as I wanted to go into science at university.

Why don't they wear a school uniform in the schools in the USA ?
