Idiocracy or Excellence?

Education expert Arvin Vohra returns to The Prime Directive to
discuss the current state of the educational system, his
publications, and the measures that students at all levels can take
to maximize their educational opportunities. If you or your
children are having problems in school, you don't want to miss this
show. Call in and have Arvin answer your
questions: 310-807-5158 or 877-878-1431. Arvin's latest
publications include The Equation for Excellence: How to Make Your
Child Excel at Math, and SAT Math Cognition. Everyone can benefit
from an improved vocabulary. You can try an introductory level of
Arvin's Vocabulary Synapse for free. It is an interactive process
that uses interconnections between words to rapidly develop an
advanced vocabulary. Arvin explains how it works. If time permits,
we will delve into the political ramifications of education. Is
there a political agenda behind the dumbing down of America? What
are teachers' unions doing to education? Maybe the movie Idiocracy
is a fictional glimpse into the direction we are heading. Here is
an actual personal ad from Craigslist: "I graduate from college
soon and do have a good head on my shoulders.I will not play games.
you are not a checker board and there is no reason for them. I
smoke.drink. no drugs. Im looking for sum1 that I can just be my
odd, goofy, cynical self with without having to worry about them
putting on a front to impress or undress me. If you would like to
speak than speak.." The Idiocracy is already here. I rest my case.
