Our Corrupt Classrooms
The story headline is “Ideology Rules the Classroom”. (The Australian, May 23 2007, p.1) and it says what we have always known about our corrupt and wicked education system. Submissions to the Senate inquiry on the academic standards of school education have said that Australian education is based upon ideology rather than science. “Educators” – if they can be called that – rely upon their own opinions regardless of whether there is any evidence to back these beliefs up. That in a nutshell also sums up the plight of the modern university. As I see it, academic dung beetles, play with their own balls of intellectual excreta without ever realizing what they actually are. They think that their shit is really pearls of wisdom.
