- The scientific method has made absurd yet un-disprovable theories become accepted in education;
- Schools teach an outdated set of skills to students;
- School reform meets resistance from all angles;
- Universities dictate school curricula with lofty, academic content and over-complicate education with ‘credits’, ‘units’ and rules on ‘pre-requisites’;
- Unions control education for the short-term benefit of society;
- When young people learn outdated skills, they can’t find meaningful work;
- All of this is extremely difficult to change.
