Breaking the Grip of the Educational Elite

Now, this is not to say that there are not some extremely bright people amongst the educated elite. Nonetheless, there seems to be a grip on the hearts and minds of the American people that the current system supports the needs and values of the American people. I would suggest that they do not.

The idea of apprenticeship is basically lost. People learn best by doing. People learn best by doing along side someone that does it very well. The educational elite in conjunction with the lawmakers, make it difficult for apprenticeship to flourish, as a result we have fewer people working at their highest potential. The current system of learning subject matter out of useful context is a waste of money, resources, and talent.
