Education is moribund in nearly a thousand ways
The categories of moribundity include warehousing of "students", impossible modes of instruction, bullying culture, massive failures and scale problems of prodigious scope
Warehousing is a function of our sclerotic and reified cultural matrix which is auto-centric and doomed to expense itself out of capitalist possibility
The impossible modes of instruction begin with the notion that one teacher fits all with all being an impossible number in most cases - education should begin and continue with the desires and interests of children as they grow and they should have the power to choose how they learn
The bullying culture is reinforced by the notion that herding, with no options or escape, is a proper social objective - it also stems from the failure to teach democracy, tolerance and helpfulness or even to understand the ontological reality of these three active values
Prodigious scale problems relate to our enslavement by sprawl due to the lordship of the private automobile which is retro, obsolete and hardly a basis for robust economic recovery
Proper scale is four-level car free cyber cities of 10 k more or less living within a square mile or so where urban amenities and most functions of life, work and education are carried our within walking distance
