If Supermarkets Were Like Public Schools - trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 05:05:33 AM 1052 Views
the obvious solution is to just do away with public education in general moondog - 06/05/2011 06:41:58 AM 482 Views
If groceries were like education... the analogy would be apt. But they aren't, and it isn't. Tim - 06/05/2011 09:40:37 AM 650 Views

I don't see your point there. The eating of groceries also goes on for many years – all one's life. *NM* Tim - 06/05/2011 01:42:38 PM 196 Views
Yes, but the effects of not having any are seen within days Floffe - 06/05/2011 05:29:16 PM 453 Views
I see. Yes, that's another reason why it's easy to sit back and do nothing until it's too late. Tim - 06/05/2011 06:40:03 PM 451 Views
Well said Tim. *NM* heartbreak - 06/05/2011 01:48:09 PM 204 Views
Very narrow-minded - the point is, private is better than public..... trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 02:47:39 PM 467 Views
Out of curiosity, how do you define "Narrow-minded?" *NM* Dannymac - 06/05/2011 02:54:18 PM 208 Views
Yup, you make several important points. nossy - 06/05/2011 04:02:09 PM 562 Views
so the rest of should be forced to send our kids to bad schools to keep a level playing field? *NM* random thoughts - 06/05/2011 05:24:23 PM 188 Views
I have said nothing of the sort, and never would. Tim - 06/05/2011 06:31:48 PM 481 Views
That is exactly what you said.....and my other reply to you proves..... trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 10:05:40 PM 476 Views
Fair enough on the second point (almost) – correction duly edited in. Tim - 06/05/2011 10:16:39 PM 485 Views
Good points *NM* Skeeve the Great - 06/05/2011 06:27:11 PM 235 Views
That's a rather big non-sequitur there, don't you think? Legolas - 06/05/2011 06:36:51 PM 494 Views
If the state doesn't pay for schools, what happens to children whose parents have no money? Tim - 06/05/2011 10:25:48 PM 483 Views
Other ways this analogy fails: Dreaded Anomaly - 07/05/2011 12:37:36 AM 434 Views
Since we are on the topic of education, I find this amazing: heartbreak - 06/05/2011 02:07:44 PM 726 Views
That is very cool. Thanks for sharing that. *NM* Nate - 06/05/2011 06:31:36 PM 205 Views
That is very, very cool. Chas - 06/05/2011 10:43:49 PM 494 Views
More relevantly, what would schools be like if they were run like supermarkets? *NM* Macharius - 06/05/2011 02:27:49 PM 189 Views
Bad schools would close, good ones would get more students - sounds fine to me! *NM* trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 02:49:30 PM 186 Views

Then you have half as many schools. So not much scope for choice any more. Tim - 06/05/2011 06:44:26 PM 464 Views
most of your arguements are against public education being financed by property taxes *NM* Roland00 - 06/05/2011 02:33:41 PM 230 Views
And the forced attendence by where you live instead of giving parents a choice. *NM* trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 02:50:23 PM 206 Views
Parents should absolutely have free choice in schools. Legolas - 06/05/2011 06:41:10 PM 520 Views
Look, I just want a store that carries Crunch n Munch with Almonds. TaskmasterJack - 06/05/2011 09:05:23 PM 479 Views
Well if the socialists have their way you won't get Crunch n Munch at all Isaac - 06/05/2011 11:05:55 PM 452 Views
