Countries would break down to small village-communities, which no safety that they are attacked by other communities? Why? Who overviews, that they all have the same basic culture of right and wrong? Need an example? -Even if you put religion in this it wouldn't work, how many religious groups are there just in the USA which share one god, but interprete his so called words totally different? -Germany in the ancient world: all thought they were Germans in basic, but without something to unite them (i.e. Romans) they had a fairly good time attacking each other Next thing about home-schooling is that you normally lack of social skills. I can't her talk for myself, because home-schooling is a actually an offence in Germany, but I got an American friend, who got homeschooled, and actually thinks that this is the case for her. And she had to learn it the hard way. If you want to prevent that you put them together with other kids and then you got schools again. Problem then: the teachers are amateurs and if this would happen around the world probably 80% of the people would be uneducated from a nowadays stand point. But there would be teachers. Next problem diversity: You would be just schooled by one person or a group which are close associates. School teachers have totally different opinions, etc. That's how you learn to anticipate reason and thinking. You just don't learn the way to create some things.
and no apprenticeship is NOT a school system. It's actually one of the oldest. A kid goes to a master to learn some special knowledge. How can that not be a school system?
If your opinion is "if no one ever taught anyone anything ever" then yeah nobody would learn shit. It's not like i'm saying that stuff is more effective or as effective as teaching. It's just Vlads assumption and statement that if school teachers disapeered suddenly all knowledge would disapear and everyone would have to constantly reinvent everything. That's stupid. Incredibly stupid.
So how the hell would you preserve all the technical invention. One example from history is the knowledge drop between the ancient world and the middle ages. Why was that so? Because the whole sholarsystem in europe was destroyed except for monasteries. What are monasteries except for religion? Schools! SO everybody would have like 10-20 books, but you can't really put that knowledge together anymore.
Off course not all knowledge disappears, but I doubt much more then just basic technology would survive. Why is that so? Co operation! Thats where we are back at social skills. Anyways the country this happens in would be down and a target for everyone else who didn't chose to do that, so it won't survive long enough to see all knowledge go. But if this would happen around the world I'll take a bet within a century about 60-90% of all knowledge would be disappeared and just a fairy tale in people's minds. Example? -Who long did it take in Europe to have the ability to build big buildings like the colosseum again? I would say about 1000 years at least.
That would be like me saying the world couldn't exist without garbage men. Because if garbage men didn't exist our garbage would pile up out of control and we'd all die of mega plagues.
Actually this was exactly what happened in the middle ages. Well of course it well never happen that everybody dies.
Teaching is an inherently favorable proffession. People WANT to be teachers. Lots of them. So there is no reason to pay as much for less favorable jobs.
The question about this is: Can you keep the balance between getting all the best heads to teach and pass their knowledge on or do you get none. Remember: If you pay peanuts you get monkeys. |
