Association is not correlation. Correlation is not causation. The failure to understand these obvious statements has led to nearly universal misunderstanding of schools and education policy at all levels. I have ranted about this for decades to broad resistance due to the strength of the ubiquitous conventional wisdom. Undaunted, I shall piss into the wind once again.
Imagine, I've been pissing into the wind since 1949 or thereabouts. Twigged on the world of an early childhood educational system that takes the young, not to educate, but rather to wash these young brains, to better maintain the political status. The general curriculum, subject matter, and standardized testing is designed for but one thing, and that is to turn the beauty of individuality into a squalling mass of same oneness, which suits our politicians to a tee.
Keep right on ranting, Steve. “Correlation is not causation” should be tattooed on Tucker Carlson’s forehead. So many power-chasers simply pick and choose facts, adding their own suppositions and false equivalencies, then spout a gospel to those unwilling or unable to stay focused long enough to cipher the truth.

Indeed! Eloquently stated, Frederic. What's your background and how did you get to my modest musings?
