Meeting 2/21 summary

We began by discussing whether institutionalized education is worth it and the usefulness of a degree once a person has graduated. The fact that education is set up in an assembly line manner and is only set up to produce worker bees. Schooling vs. education --> we acquire both inside institutionalized education systems and perhaps schooling is most worthwhile. Higher education preserves class and the SATs are class-based. After Brown vs. the Board of Education, the government began school zoning thereby setting up a new way of segregating public schools. American children do not learn multiple languages in school which makes us comparatively dumb. Working 9-5 provides insurance but it is no way to live for the rest of a person's life.

Everyone, please add thoughts on these topics and things that we discussed that I unintentionally omitted.

Thanks,

Comrade AJ

Weekly Meeting for 2/21

Sorry it took me so long to make this post, I'm not very blog savvy.

But right, tomorrow's meeting topic!

The Real World!

People's perception of reality. The 9-5 job, the world society created (especially in the US), the school system, the goals we're "supposed" to aim for (money, fame, the rat race, etc), the world on tv vs real life vs natural life. Pro's and con's of the system! The pro's n con's of the alternatives (survival, or hiding in the woods).

I know it's a random abstract issue and I'm not writing a lot on it to prep for the meeting, but its been on my mind a lot lately (as I write this blog instead of doing my homework), and I think it'd be fun to discuss.

Over 'n out
