Parents should absolutely have free choice in schools. Legolas Send a noteboard - 06/05/2011 06:41:10 PM
And schools really shouldn't be funded through property taxes, either. But as I said above, when the article starts about eliminating public schools, it becomes fairly loony. Education definitely is one of those fields where the advantages of having the state organize it exceed the disadvantages, excepting higher education.

If Supermarkets Were Like Public Schools - trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 05:05:33 AM 972 Views
the obvious solution is to just do away with public education in general moondog - 06/05/2011 06:41:58 AM 415 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 584 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 171 Views
Yes, but the effects of not having any are seen within days Floffe - 06/05/2011 05:29:16 PM 394 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 382 Views
Well said Tim. *NM* heartbreak - 06/05/2011 01:48:09 PM 180 Views
Very narrow-minded - the point is, private is better than public..... trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 02:47:39 PM 399 Views
Out of curiosity, how do you define "Narrow-minded?" *NM* Dannymac - 06/05/2011 02:54:18 PM 178 Views
Yup, you make several important points. nossy - 06/05/2011 04:02:09 PM 491 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 165 Views
I have said nothing of the sort, and never would. Tim - 06/05/2011 06:31:48 PM 412 Views
That is exactly what you said.....and my other reply to you proves..... trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 10:05:40 PM 410 Views
Fair enough on the second point (almost) – correction duly edited in. Tim - 06/05/2011 10:16:39 PM 416 Views
Good points *NM* Skeeve the Great - 06/05/2011 06:27:11 PM 212 Views
That's a rather big non-sequitur there, don't you think? Legolas - 06/05/2011 06:36:51 PM 424 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 408 Views
Other ways this analogy fails: Dreaded Anomaly - 07/05/2011 12:37:36 AM 359 Views
Since we are on the topic of education, I find this amazing: heartbreak - 06/05/2011 02:07:44 PM 625 Views
That is very cool. Thanks for sharing that. *NM* Nate - 06/05/2011 06:31:36 PM 176 Views
That is very, very cool. Chas - 06/05/2011 10:43:49 PM 428 Views
More relevantly, what would schools be like if they were run like supermarkets? *NM* Macharius - 06/05/2011 02:27:49 PM 164 Views
Bad schools would close, good ones would get more students - sounds fine to me! *NM* trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 02:49:30 PM 158 Views
spoken like someone who has no idea what it takes to run a "good school" *NM* moondog - 06/05/2011 04:17:12 PM 165 Views
Then you have half as many schools. So not much scope for choice any more. Tim - 06/05/2011 06:44:26 PM 390 Views
most of your arguements are against public education being financed by property taxes *NM* Roland00 - 06/05/2011 02:33:41 PM 206 Views
And the forced attendence by where you live instead of giving parents a choice. *NM* trzaska2000 - 06/05/2011 02:50:23 PM 180 Views
Parents should absolutely have free choice in schools. Legolas - 06/05/2011 06:41:10 PM 438 Views
Look, I just want a store that carries Crunch n Munch with Almonds. TaskmasterJack - 06/05/2011 09:05:23 PM 414 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 381 Views
