Schools Defunct?

School might be extinct in the near future because education, its product no longer has value. School used to teach facts of life.

1. the sun and moon relay

2. why geese fly to warmer climate in winter

3. why it always rains in Nigeria and other countries on the Equator

4. why big animals like elephants and whales have small eyes

5. why we are born, get old and die

School also teaches history like Western ‘Civilization’, apartheid, slavery, the Holocaust, but not how the Sphinx in Egypt lost its nose. Despite cultural and religious differences, all countries have the same textbook about the human body, how male and female complement each other and how woman is the mother of the world.

The world has changed and all these subjects are under scrutiny. The gay and lesbian belief that men can become women by wearing  wigs and make-up, questions empirical evidence: male + female = humanity. U.S. states in the south want to protect white kids from discomfort, so schools are banning certain books about slavery.  What next? Germany will ban the Holocaust from schools because it makes German children uncomfortable? Jews were German too.

EMPTY SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Buildings are for certain activity. They become empty when the demand for their activity evaporates. Therefore, a bouquet of reasons will lead to the downfall of education.

The Colosseum in Rome is a ruin, because games played there became irrelevant. English castles have turned into museums because the army of servants that kept lords of manors in clean knickers and red hunting jackets, got jobs in factories.

Empty schools can be recycling centers for the the 3 devices we carry, but change after two years. An industrious industrialist, can bring in huge vats and boil them to a liquid. Empty schools can be used as a habitat for unwanted humans like our grandmothers and grandfathers, because old-age homes are full.

If we cannot agree about a basic fact that the world is male and female, how can we agree on climate change and government secrets? Solution? Back to square one. Teach kids at home and close down schools. That will fall on women’s shoulders, but that’s a topic for another day, another blog.
