Teacher:
Abraham Lincoln was able to learn all this in a cabin! With a shovel and charcoal!

Modern American Student:
I’m sorry sir but, I’m not Abraham Lincoln.

. . .
Heh, though admittedly from what I've read Lincoln 'did have more than 'just a cabin and a shovel.
And it 'is better to have better education than worse, even if exceptions of success exist.
Still, individual effort is important, though how individuals come to try, might also be something we can encourage.

Saying "education is dead in America" ignores how it is evolving. Due to increased tuition costs, overburdened students, and digital learning, many people increasingly seek assistance from online class taking services. It's about handling education differently in a tech-driven, fast-paced society, not about avoiding it. Education is changing; it is not dead.

Your multiple posts since #3e do not seem to bear that out. You merely seek to boot post count; personal aggrandizement. Fair enough. That's entirely on you.

I entirely agree with your post #45. It's like in our time, and I have a 75-year perspective, we have wondrous, wireless communication capability around the world in immediate time, and yet ask why we are confused by the 19th century environment of the classroom. If you have never read Marshall McLuhan's  "Understanding Media: the extensions of man," and "The Medium is the Massage," get them and read them. He was a 60s professor of communications, and a brilliant observer of our transition of communication capabilities, that teach us well why we are what we are today via media influences of all kinds. He once gave a lecture at UCLA where I was a student in the late 60s,  and he impressed the hell out of me. The 19th century classroom bit was part of his thinking.

An article titled Einstein at 75, Is Still a Rebel by Gertrude Samuels was published in New York Times Magazine in 1954. The article is a retrospective of Einstein's career and his life at the time of the interview as a seventy-five-year-old.
