dont be fooled.
the GOP wants to make education private.....they want to make everything private.
that's their giant fix....turn everything into wall street banking practices....
all about the almighty dollar.
meanwhile, we fall further and further down the world rankings of education...
but its not because the policies are horrible and capitalistic
no, its because theyre not private-operated...
you can currently take public school money, via a voucher, and pay it to a private school.
thats ridiculous.

Would you say the quality of education is better or worse than it was before 1979?

real, genuine reform of this capitalistic system we have in place will.
One of the bigger problems in education is class size... Closing schools only makes class sizes bigger in the "good" schools, decreasing the quality of education...Originally Posted by kix4kix
While I admittedly have never worked in education, I do feel that treating schools more like businesses could do some good, for instance is a school isn't doing well, close it down. And place the kids in a school that works, or open a new school in its place.
Finland has maybe the best school system in the world or quite close to the top according to PISA tests. And i think it's because of the class sizes. I've never been in class with more than 20 or maybe 25 people. Usually less.Originally Posted by Essential1

Schools are not a business.. Markets don't help schools.. In an unrelated example but sticking to education, one of the candidates last night said that colleges should compete against each other will increase the quality of education, and in turn decrease the cost of tuition.. That is not how it works, and is probably one of the most insane ideas I have ever heard.
You want education to improve look at these dullards in the Republican party who do everything to demonize teachers because they are public sector workers. Saying they get paid to much, and have too many benefits. At every turn they try to cut teacher pay, and cut benefits.. You want the "best and the brightest" to teach your students and create a new generation of even more intelligent people, you really need to pay people top dollar.. But our (Republican Party) priority is to have everything for nothing.. Which is what having private sector control of education, and expecting better results is what they are proposing.. "Everything for nothing"
Not even close dude. Bush is no where close to Obama in "slip ups". You should slap yourself.Originally Posted by BostonThreeParty
Obama has made almost as many "slip-ups" as Bush, and they've both been elected, I've gotta feeling Perry will be just fine
yea but i hate it. keynesian economics anyways. im so surprised people are for socialism in one form or another. mind blownOriginally Posted by CurbYourEnthusiasm
so you took a paragraph of like 120 words and highlighted a sentence out of context?
wow.
whats your major/degree? education or econ?
im leaning towards econ....just a hunch.
and if it were up to rishi we wouldnt even have a government period...local, state nor federal
each private citizen would fullfill their own responsibilty to uphold law and order.....cause we're americans and great.
