When I was little I wanted to draw comic books. My mother insisted I get a "salable skill" because she didn't want to see me become a starving artist. We were able to reach a compromise. I got a college degree in Computer Information Systems from Buffalo State College and now --I'm happy to report-- I am a starving computer artist. I started all of these GBINet.info websites because I sincerely hope they will change the world for the better.

Corporate Math Lesson (Part 1) May.11.2003
Call me paranoid but I think that the people who rule this country, the corporate executives and the government officials have deliberately pulled apart our American educational system and left it there in ruins. At the very least, it can be demonstrated that they are in no hurry to put it back together.
The powers that rule have a much easier time pushing us around if we've never learned any critical thinking skills in school. If they start throwing big numbers at us and our eyes just glaze over and we start to ignore everything that suits them just fine. The American student's ability to understand math and science is abysmal and still dropping, and the way we respond to it is by continuing to lower expectations and standardizing all of the tests and teaching our kids how to repeat answers back to us to pass specific tests... NEVER teach how to think. No! Never do that.
