You make some tremendously useful points. However, while these points are excellent in a micro assessment and can benefit class structures, the points are invalid in a macro sense. Idealistically, you're correct. Realistically, you're not. If the whole reason for secular education is to make a good monetary income, then competition is required. Business is competition - ruthless in its nature. Secular education that does not teach people how to compete will collapse the institutions of business. In almost all facets of life - geopolitics, business, etc. there are haves and have nots. There are people that tried and there are people that didn't. Competition draws the line between people who want to succeed and put enough work into the pursuit and those that don't care enough to win. Whoever told us "winning isn't everything" lied. The world, the market place, the IRS, etc. care who wins and who doesn't. If everyone is treated with a soft support group of noncompeting peers, then no one will be extraordinary. If everyone is special, then no one is. The world is cut throat and victory in it is given to those who win. Yale, Harvard, and the like are schools that require the cream of the crop. If there's no push to establish that elite class, then there is only mediocrity. It is the elite that take care of the lower class (or at least they should). Granted, such competition should stay out of the realm of religious knowledge. Some were born to win, some weren't - some prepare heir kids for it, some don't. That's the fact on the ground. However, things should always be balanced and everyone should be given a fair shot. I don't agree with the whole hand holding hippy mentality. Competition builds confidence and character. Some of the greatest minds came from nothing and had to fight tooth and nail to come up. These ideas are very communist in their basic principles and go against the larger capitalist concepts of how one wins.S.Syednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878121870881185272.post-82565339941727851222011-06-06T03:17:04.249-04:002011-06-06T03:17:04.249-04:00You are saying absolutely right that education is ...You are saying absolutely right that education is not a competition. These are days of intense competition everywhere, and schools and colleges are no exception. So, whether a student likes or not, he has no other choice but to make all efforts he can if he is serious about getting that dream job.Dissertation helphttp://www.tutorskingdom.comnoreply@blogger.com
