The fundamental basis of today’s unequal society is mainly due to greed, and the “winners and losers” ethic. Now, society dictates that the winners can go on, and little attempt should be made to make the so called “losers” into the so called “winners”. Just like Barack Obama’s do-nothing Kenyan family. Should we have cast them aside too?
In the modern school, there is active encouragement of the rank system, with a grey bar to show the top 80%, a line to show the average, and letters sent home to the one that comes last a.k.a. the loser. Parents also encourage the student, to actively do better, get in the top ten, top half. They do not realize that every rank up for one means that one must go down. And so this is mirrored in society, where extremely talented artists will be forced onto the streets without any value in their proficiency. However, a rich person may be born straight into a position of power. And so again, a talented sketch artist scrapes off a living by selling fine pieces of art for a minimum pay, and a do-nothing CEO has all the advantages laid bare in front of them, ripe for picking.
Also, in the school’s history classes, people are spoon-fed information, to be just swallowed to come out in the other end. No pieces linked together, no connection, just random shards. Maybe to keep one ignorant from the turbulent past, where the class system has cast off many hopeful lives that could have contributed greatly, as simple “losers”.
Schools tell the “losers” to try harder. That I support. But what is interesting is that the school does not drop barriers for them, and that, well, that can be compared to telling someone to climb a large wall without support.
And when support finally comes, and if it helps, it means that their rank would improve. And another will drop. And so the cycle continues. Just like life really.
So I say – SCRAP the damn rankings. SCRAP the bar. SCRAP the box. Why the hell does society need losers. That laughable “incentive”? Is the point of school just for a rank? Is information given for a higher rank? Well no. Of course not. Why should we not have an emphasis on the actual mark and comment? Why should we not learn how to help the world, rather than turn into a battlefield of constant competition, and holding up ones prestige?
And to my final conclusion. The rank system in schools is a thing that encourages competition, a system that benefits the winners, and which is mirrored by real society, and throws away all possibility of advancement in the losers. Prove that I lie.
