2:06 pm
compensation is a big one and we'll have more on what c.e.o.'s are paid in the coming days. and we're joined by bryan caplan whose new book the case against education is creating quite a stir and we're pleased to have a with us brian now explain yourself because the title is obviously provocative but what are you saying that that maybe there's commonality and then we'll get into the details so the main thing i'm saying is that even though education plays pretty well for the students themselves it's not really a very good investment taxpayer money because most of what you learn in school you're never actually going to use on the job. so how do we how do we deal with that i mean what what's the answer i mean having better educated kids is and young adults is obviously helpful in the long term to disc being fully developed humans
2:07 pm
but how do we deal with you know what you write about and i read a lot of your book and you talk about that essentially the moniker that goes with the degree is not worth it you're not saying being stupid is a good thing. being stupid is not a good thing but really what i'm saying we can agree on that part brian right now. it is a matter that suppose you could either have a princeton diploma with no education or a prince of education with no diploma which one would you rather have. right right and if you even have to think about it you really agree with me using it what i'm saying is sure a school does teach some useful skills but one of the main reasons people go is just to get a stamp on their forehead to get a seal of approval just to get certified at a course that's really useful for the individual because if you've got that nice princeton agree then employers are going to be a lot more interested in hiring you know what i say is from the point of view of society that's not really very helpful because if we were all to go and have nice
2:08 pm
fancy degrees this would mean we'd all get to have nice jobs it would mean that you just need to have more education and fancier degrees in order to be considered worthy of employment so i mean really i say a lot of education is a rat race where the more you have the more you need to be considered employable and you can of course if people are learning a lot of really useful skills in school than this would be fine because you learn useful skills that you actually get better at doing a job but in most of what's going on in schools you study subjects you're never going to use after graduation and so i say there's really very little point in taxpayers going encouraging this kind of rhetoric. ok well i think we've we have i agree with a lot of what you said actually but i think we may be coming to the fork right here because you also argue against spending you know money cutting spending on education i don't think there's a role there and so my question is that you know shouldn't we just try to educate kids students better in a in a day in a way that doesn't just rely upon some crappy sheepskin but is actually based upon
2:09 pm
real things but you go right to it seems cutting spending. well i mean here's the thing there have been people working on improving teaching for many decades and yet learning remains quite remy and it's and like how crummy is it well there are a lot of subjects that people study for years that they essentially know zero about adulthood like foreign languages like normal in u.s. schools that you have to take two or three years of foreign language you just go and talk to adults and ask them have you learned to speak a foreign language very well in school under one percent will say they do so it's not that we're just not getting a lot of value there's a lot of areas where we put in years of time and money and we get next to nothing for it so in cases like that i say just not realistic to think that we can just improve it and then finally we get our money to the case where english is look schools been wasting a lot of money and really we should go and withhold say look you've been wasting it on i mean what kind of money and we don't want to keep wasting of these things so you know like you know this is not require any anything even all the radicals
2:10 pm
really just ten percent cut in spending or twenty percent cut in spending you know a minimum to say tell schools look first you go and show that you are teaching people to be fluent in foreign languages and then maybe we'll consider going and restore your funding so to me this is like a case where someone's been wasting a pile of money of your money for years like someone's been taking money to mow your lawn and then the law doesn't get me any mode for years i mean you could say well why don't you just make sure they mow the lawn as a boy given how messed up the system is and probably better just to say look how about you go and you first demonstrate that you can do the job and then maybe we can talk about the money boy you must be a strict parent by guys i mean yeah i mean. when you're not doing anything for me it's terrible. yeah i get the argument in theory brian but i mean it seems to me boy i don't want to be those kids who are the victim of your policy or particularly you know the more vulnerable kids too who don't have access because if you're in
2:11 pm
old middle income and you can afford to or are wealthy you know families you can afford to put your kids in schools again you can debate whether or not those schools are the best but you can make a decision based upon the free market where you go but particularly if you cut funding then there is no option i mean none for kids and what we don't what we want to hold you know a country of homeschoolers i mean how do we deal with that. so i totally get this argument but he is so first of all what you're saying is no argument against a ten percent cut right so that you can cut spending by ten percent it isn't even that long ago that spending was ten percent lower and yet things were not were not dramatically different but any of them the main thing even mind is this so if what i'm saying is right and the main reason education pays is just that you're getting these diplomas and grades to impress employers then if everybody had less the main effect would just be that employers would lower their standards so you know we're measuring we're everyone in a college degree and that case employers would expect you have
2:12 pm
a college degree when fewer people have it than there are a lot more opportunities for people who don't have it and you go back fifty years you know if you were a high school dropout there was a lot more opportunities for you in those days because when a lot more people didn't finish school it didn't say anything all that bad about you and employers were openminded so you know like whenever people start getting really worried about the impact on vulnerable people they're always picturing like what if one person doesn't get to go and that case i agree one person doesn't get to go then they stand out like a sore thumb but the other hand if we were just to move back to a world where people didn't take culture added then i say like it would not be bad for people on balance because would mean that the education you couldn't afford you'd also no longer meet again just picture this imagine a world where you can get a good job right out of high school this used to be the american economy and i say it could be the american economy again. you know you're you are you are one of these fellows that back in the day i would like to head a bunch o. wine with and because the theory is great but i just get concerned and you talk
2:13 pm
about you know the world i mean if you look at you know students around the world the better educated kids that are young adults again that are i shouldn't keep saying kids but to young adults that are graduating you know they're getting better jobs and overall you know we are not in the u.s. an island unto ourselves and so if we don't have you're talking about a revolutionary thing i get that but i just don't know how you get there in practice are you really suggesting that we do these things are you saying there's a big problem and we need to take a revolutionary action because i just don't want to be on the short end of the stick when we're already have a very under educated population compared to the global marketplace. yes so we're not educated compared to the global marketplace and your terms of years of education the us is way above the world average and about average for rich countries uni i like the m a if you go and look at what we know they haven't up
2:14 pm
a brilliant but yes but real quick but you already told us that that the education we had isn't worth anything so it's alright with over the years why i don't necessarily equate to it right i mean we don't know how the people that we're bringing over from from india and that the chinese students who are coming to work here i mean we don't have that sort of quality of students do we well if you want to measure it just by by international test scores then again the u.s. is way above the world average and is not at the very top it is still doing quite well quite well overall they say how can that be when you're talking about how little adults know these are testily literacy and numeracy they're things that at least a lot of people do learn them fairly well but again the other male the main thing is that you know like most people actually get good at their jobs by doing you learn by practice i mean so much of what the education system is all about is we make people jump through hoops for seventeen years and finally at the end we say ok now you're worried worthy of learning how to be a pilot worthy of learning how to be a doctor worthy of learning how to be
2:15 pm
a secretary and i say we just cut some years off of that would be a big improvement you know there are things like switzerland where like there are highly developed countries were it were a much smaller share of the workers go to college they're still great at what they do but they just have a my economy that's much more focused on learning by doing and they lead people to start adulthood at an earlier age you know similarly you know to go on worry that we're going to be put behind other countries and you know what other countries are mostly making the same mistakes where there were that we're making where they're pouring lots of money and have kids spend long years in school a lot of times not learning much but even if they do learn they're learning stuff they're never going to know her regulation you know like the practical thing is to try to cut to the chase and say why don't we go and prepare people for what they're really going to do instead of making them wait. for years and years studying subjects that are not relevant to the future. we have to finish it and leave it there but i do want to not only thank you for your controversial and definitely
2:16 pm
a thought provoking dialogue and to close that you know there is one thing i think we do agree on and you are getting to it there that we really should teach students for the jobs that are out there and we shouldn't just everybody should be on a college track and so i thank you for your contribution thank you for your time with boom bust and we wish you the best bryan caplan the author of the case against education thanks only twenty bucks on amazon can you afford not to buy. a thank you. thank you. that's it for this time thanks for watching be sure to catch us on you tube at youtube dot com slash boom bust r.t. say again next week.

2:18 pm
the legacy of the communist era has left i'm assuming a lot of of the legacy waste as well i'm assuming again from my understanding of the soviet era that there was much more of a culture of a reuse and not throwing things away that i think are a society that emerged out of that tends to reject so it's a matter of moving back to that. church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution. what the bishop
2:19 pm
needs to do then he finds out that the priest is a purpose for it is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous. highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice so sunday that you know that's not going to pass the eye and then i think you'll hear that at tuesday's out in. this. case both three. three. three. three three. three three. god thank you you. thank.

well under the cease fire agreements and moved up to province thus allowing the syrian government to move in take over the area and avoid a long protracted conflict causing more bloodshed now this is significant because prior to this all offers by the russian military and the syrian government were rejected by rebel groups in the region despite unverified video shown of flyers being dropped over the towns and the city in the area groups have taken up that office so far and civilians allegedly have also been prevented from leaving the area through those corridors because of shelling to those roads now all of the other bit of news is that the syrian rebel group. has issued a statement in which they've said they have taken the decision to release members of the terrorist group al nusra formerly al qaida in syria from prisons and

transport them to this nation likely to be in the north of the country one of the last major burble strongholds in syria we don't yet know if the statement from jaish al islam and these rebels leaving the area are linked we don't know what group from either way though that does mark a significant development and could leave the door open to why the evacuation of rebel fighters and civilians from the area in the coming future dan hawkins there will investigative journalist rick sterling believes the evacuation will help save civilian lives. they have their base of operations and it live in and clearly the the strategy of the syrian government and their allies is to remove the terrorists from the more populated areas and get them all concentrated in it live and in deal with that down the road it's tremendously positive to remove the terrorists from around damascus that's had mortars and hell cannon missiles coming into it on a nearly basis which i witnessed myself the news about some terrorist leaving the

2:27 pm
at least four chlorine based chemical weapons attacks in syria our secretary of state teller sen just said that russia bears the responsibility for this given your earlier promises to rein in chemical weapons attacks in syria your response. because of thought and when you my can see that firstly we have nothing to do with this and secondly we demand a full investigation that's for crimes return to regular police and at least bury the bodies still lying in the rubble following the massive residential areas. remarks there do you follow the liberation of racket from ice or by the u.s. led coalition as an extremely high cost to civilians estimates still differ but some sources say that the campaign may have resulted in almost two thousand civilian deaths however u.s. commanders say that's the price to pay for liberation. civilian casualties are
2:28 pm
a fact of life in iraq and in syria people are much more accepting that because it creates their city being liberated they understand what they were suffering civilians will get caught in the crossfire civilians will get hurt civilians will get killed if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price when avoidable part of war and commanders have to press on despite their responsibility for civilian casualties in iraq and syria lies with isis that is on them not on us we are the good guys unison people on a battlefield no different. in other news tonight a former police officer in the u.s. state of north carolina has been charged with assaulting a black man accused of jaywalking the incident happened last august and was captured on the officers body can thirty three year old johnny rush here was on his way home when two officers stopped him and accused him of crossing an empty street

2:30 pm
he had no fear of any kinds of accountability related to that conduct this must be standard operating procedure in that particular police department and frankly it is in many police departments these videos must always be made public we have no way to monitor police conduct and to understand how our police are operating if we can't watch those videos that they themselves collect on their own activities in response the asheville police department has condemned the officers actions saying that they are contrary to the progress we have made in the last several years in improving community trust however the incident is just the latest in a series of police brutality cases that have been captured by body cams over the past three years.
