Education under communism?

[ComradeRed]

How exactly would education in communism work?
I mean, how would the school approach teaching? The truth, or with distorted facts? Will there still be grades (like A, B, C, D, F; not 1st grade, 2nd, etc.)
And would it be mandatory?

An interesting thought, I definately think we would have to focus on the work of both Che Guevara in educating his troops, Paulo Freire as an educator and his revolutionary pedagogies, and Native American theories such as the Circle of Courage.

What do other's think? How do you teach critical thinking skills, plus touch classics, but make education particular to culture? Does each student have to be swept away and educated privately, ala Roussean theory? :blink:

[Take the Power back]

Redstar has amazed me again. I have always held on to the belief that schooling is primarily for obediance, with education coming in second at best. People should be allowed to seek out education, or decide to disregard it, after the neccessary skills are learned (reading, writing, basic computer working.) I am the type who seeks out education; I enjoy taking that extra step towards new found knowledge. Under Communism, people would be allowed to leave school behind, and find their place.
