When I look at the bill I always wonder why should I subsidize education of somebody else's children? Would not it be fair if only those who have children paid this school tax? Educational vouchers is not a solution as it still involves government. Essentially school voucher is "steal from everyone and give to those who have children". Why should somebody without kids be forced into paying for education of somebody else's children? If you decided to have children then please be prepared to pay for their education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-50473900978862248682010-11-03T01:21:07.374-04:002010-11-03T01:21:07.374-04:00steamroller says-

The myth is: COMPETITION IS UNFAIR BECAUSE OF INCENTIVES FOR WINNERS. Therefore troll training can only continue if there are no incentives or rewards - because RULES PROHIBIT LOSING.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-47588159484596935962010-11-02T14:17:19.489-04:002010-11-02T14:17:19.489-04:00You are also forgetting another part of what vouch...You are also forgetting another part of what vouchers do: once the state starts funding other schools, it becomes the customers. And as the customer, it can dictate "standards" and the like. <br /><br />The state is not a contiguous entity. There are some state parasites that want to get rid of the current teachers while maintaining control of education. This is why public discourse of vouchers is allowed.Noitanigaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-76912482783970410022010-11-02T14:11:52.932-04:002010-11-02T14:11:52.932-04:00Public schools are fascist organizations.

If I do not sign my daughter's agenda on a daily basis, she gets punished (no recess, extra work, etc.) I also find the concept of homework appalling. As if 7 hours of propaganda and indoctrination aren't enough, the school now extends itself into our private lives. Unfortunately due to the financial constraints created by the State, homeschooling is not an option for us.Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446295231976505695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-39962548229200260402010-11-02T12:53:22.459-04:002010-11-02T12:53:22.459-04:00Once you have a certain level of basic education (...Once you have a certain level of basic education (simple arithmetic, reading and writing) you can pretty much teach yourself everything else.<br /><br />I went to a crappy, academically poor, mostly government funded school.<br /><br />A good proportion of the teachers were rubbish. For a few subjects for a couple of years, we practically had no proper teaching at all.<br /><br />I had to practically teach myself maths and science because from 11 - 18 the quality of state provided teachers was low.<br /><br />My success at this was that I managed to get into an elite university despite going to a crappy school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-78231104789981276632010-11-02T12:46:58.047-04:002010-11-02T12:46:58.047-04:00Vouchers make sense up until too many students wan...Vouchers make sense up until too many students want to go to the same school that doesn't have the capacity for them. At that point, how does the school choose which students can attend? Students will still have to go to the less desirable schools, so what will have been achieved?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
