The tape recording of this answer should be send to all parents.
We
are dealing with this subject actually. But in my opinion, inh Prabhupada's opinion, this particular type of
educational system may program young people with incredible amount of data which they
are going to forget 99% anyway. But it is not meant to give them good
character, or faith, or happiness. The idea is the more data you
have, the more you pass the exam, the more seats you get in colleges, and the
more money you make, and the more happy you will get from that money. That's the
whole system. But actually, most really intelligent parents who are leaders
of society, they do not even send their children to these school systems.
Most of the wealthiest and wealthiest men in this world did not even do good in
that system of education. They did not like it, they did not do any good in it,
and some of them did not even do it.
