That's alright, it will be fine to replace education with religious dogma to promote openmindedness and free thinking.

Once you get past the three R's, school has no other purpose that to teach you how to think on your own. After that, the little nimrods can specialize.

I still think that being a proficient teacher is more of a gift than an occupation. But I guess a mentor personality gets lost in a cattle car reality.

Try and convince the Michelle Rhee's of this world about that. If all these so called "experts" would simply get lost education would improve exponentially.
