Closing of a American Mind was published in 1987, 5 years after Bloom published an letter in The National Review about a disaster of universities to offer a needs of students. With a support of Saul Bellow, his co-worker during a University of Chicago, he stretched his thoughts in to a book “about a life, I’ve led” which critically reflected upon a stream state of aloft preparation in American universities. His friends as well as admirers illusory a work would be a medium success, as did Bloom, who famous his publishers medium allege to finish a plan as a miss of sales confidence.

agreed! i think its abt one size fits all when clearly there r natural aritist and scientist and poets amongst us all. Yet we r all given the one and only set of subjects which dullfies most of us.
The only thing we test is memory at school. Intelligence is diverse. We experience the world thru the abstract, thru sound, visually, kinetically – which all put togther creates a dynamic way that our brains need to be used. Intelleigence is creative and works with all parts!

schooling is def a sorting house for capitalism/consumerism. They r sorting which cog u will fit into and wat ur function will be. No one questions the idea of work itself?? fuck what happened to our life….
LOVE Chomsky! Why dont we learn this at school!!!!

@thehoopoe My English teacher doesn’t make us conform… he tells us to ask questions, form our own opinions and to question anything he says… Therefore he is a tutor to every single individual student; not teaching them waht to think, but how to think.
I can see you are quite retarded, I hope this helped you out.

PERFECT EXPLANATION

@thehoopoe Interesting comment. Can you define quipu for me without googling it or visiting your library?
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
I remember senior year of high school. You were 18, but you still had no freedom of speech, couldn’t wear hats or short skirts, etc. You had to take any amount of verbal bullshit from someone who couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag. You were given absurd assignments in absurd amounts with the excuse of “preparing you for college” (even though college is nothing like that). And on. Mindfuck.

Schools are shit, there is no democracy and most of it is all copy, paste and memorize. It’s an old saying but school truly is a factory, if not a prison!
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
Well, maybe your assignments are stupid. Kids don’t become stimulated unless they can be enticed by something, that serves both as a catalyst for personal benefit along with an educational backdrop. Become a better teacher and stop always pinning it on your students. Remember when you were a student and you hated the teacher? Yeah, it was their fault, really.
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
Chomsky is great. I hate the way that the powers that be in their most recent and ridiculous Climate Change Osama tape deliberately mention Noam as an effort to discredit him..

A natural reaction to boring is to not pay attention.

Manifest treason! Has spoken like a traitor, and shall answer as traitors do. Therefore lay hold of him; bear him to the rock Tarpeian, and from thence into destruction cast him. He shall be thrown down the Tarpeian rock with rigorous hands: he hath resisted law, and therefore law shall scorn him further trial than the severity of the public power which he so sets at nought. AEdiles, seize him!

@cmccarty82
That’s simply unreasonable unless you have only 1 pupil. Socialized education cannot provide a personalized experience. When I was little we knew unless you could afford a private tutor, you were not going to get anyone conforming to your anything, so we listened harder.
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
I think the biggest problem is a lot of educators expect the student to conform to their teaching style when in actuality, the teaching style MUST conform to the student. If they appear “lazy” it’s because we as educators are not doing our job to stimulate their thinking.
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
Maybe it’s your teaching style. People like to learn interesting things. For you to automatically blame the other guy… it just sounds like something one should easily disregard…
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
Chomsky’s flaw is that he is overly optimistic about human nature. Most of my students are just plain lazy, they aren’t interested in thinking. They may think the assignment is stupid. But that’s an excuse to slack off.
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
We need more of this from Chomsky.
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
I Wish there was more to this because Chomsky is dead-on about how the system operates.

Thanks so much for this video. It makes my day, while just addressing this topic on my channel. Will be back later. Have a great weekend!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

tank you, mr. Chomsky
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
i agree: “the pressure [of the education] to try to support innovation and freedom is much less and the pressure for conformity is much greater”

@Lythic The only people getting liberal arts degrees in Japan are dis-empowered women. Men only care about getting a job that will enhance their marriage prospects and while these women may be freer thinking, it doesn’t matter because they won’t be working in the future. There are entire universities devoted to churning out the next generation of housewives. This conformist sentiment is present even at the institutional level and free thinking is discouraged at every level of the society.
March 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am
@maximumsteve Culture, ethnic identity and class politics are playing a role in here in Japan. People use being Japanese as an excuse to not change. They say things like “I’m shy BECAUSE I’m Japanese” or “IN JAPAN it’s BAD to question authority”. These “just so” explanations essentially subvert the working class. And the lack of education about labor and history, i.e. the fact of real political change in Japan over the years, has made it difficult for people to know of anything but compliance.
