In the US, education is a right - anyone can educate himself, even a prisoner. "Education", as in going to school, is a responsibility, meaning you damn well better do it, even if it makes you dumber, unless your parents care enough to pull you out of it. |

Zebra 3 | In Canada, education is a provincial responsibility. Elementary and secondary education in Ontario for example is governed by the Education Act and any amendments made to that Act. | |||

mburbank | Vinth defines 'rights' as things which he thinks are 'rights'. It's a great way to define things. If you're an idiot. | |||

VinceZeb | Education is not a right. Never has been, never will be. It is a gateway to the pursuit of happiness, but you can pursue happiness without it. | |||

Competition. Say it with me now, kids. C-O-M-P-E-T-I-T-I-O-N. Plus, what are the odds of the worse case scenario? My guess: not very high. Burbank, I just felt like throwing the term retard around. Sometimes it takes a Vinthian comment to get the point across. But despite all that, would please site where education is a right? I never saw that in the BoR... |

Protoclown | I'm honestly not sure what's funnier. VinceZeb's actual posts or Max Burbank's dead-on parodies of them. | |||

OAO. In answer to gives a shit about who educates 'retards', you need look no further than your own teachers. You scruple at 'personal attacks' and yet you say 'retard' the Vinth says Jew. "Education is not a right, it's a privelidge! " In what country? In ours, education is a right. |

"Watching Walter even attempt to act like he knows anything about math is like watching a dog try to work a doorknob." Vinth 'irony blind' Clambake Oh, Sure, Vinth! Way to throw up a insult on the maker of a arguments without ever having had a decent talking back to the argument itself! That's the gold standard of the guy with the jizz on his face from another guy who forced a blow job on him to boot! It's one thing to attack me and i don't even care at all but when you attack someone like walter only for having had the courage to speak up his free speech on the subject of trying to make a better thing with the world it just shows you up for the closed minded robot sucker of jizz out a asshole of a person who doesn't even know you are not a gilr for five bucks with a crazy stray! |

You would be amazed how many teachers are not qualified for their job. Yes, I know what special education entails, I just like throwing around the term retard. It was fun. On another note, however: do you honestly believe that parents who have children with special needs in such areas could not find a tutor? Do you have a particular problem with school away from home? I sincerely believe that the number of cases where nothing can be found would be small, and that they do not justify a failing system. If worse came to worse, we could simply force all schools to accept all students, regardless of special needs, etc. Then, no one is excluded. Do I believe that should be the approach we take? No. I do, however, think it is still a much better alternative to state-provided schools. |

Perndog | On a side note, do you really think generic special education teachers are equipped to teach both A) physically fit retards and B) mute and wheelchair-bound geniuses? | |||

:D And yet he makes mention of "MY" personal attack on his mother. I see he missed the irony completely. Quote:
And as a side note I'd like to point out that Stephen Hawking would be considered a "retard" in this country as you so gently put it. It's called special education, and encompasses both physically and mentally challenged students. Autistics are also most often above genius level in at least one area. And with proper schooling many can live very normal lives. Quote:
But you didn't address my point that you are creaing the same dynamic with the potential to be far worse. |

Some schools might charge more and be made for the rich, but private schools like that already exist. You cannot eliminate that unless you ban private schools. In any case, are you denying that parents who want a better education for their child should be able to spend more on it? http://www.cato.org/pubs/briefs/bp-023.html |

I have nothing against private schools, I just don't think it is the way to go across the board. |

The odd genius would find a way to flourish, just like the duck-billed platypus and Carrot-top with the hot-chicas in the 1-800-c-a-l-l-a-t-t commercials. |

The One and Only... | Ah, but that can kill the opportunity for the odd genius, and lowers the educated working base (which we need). | |||
Nov 3rd, 2003 04:39 PM | ||||
Bennett | NO. Forget about vouchers if the people's parents are too stupid to get a good enough job to pay for private schools, then their kids will be too stupid to deserve/afford a first-class education. Natural selection. Maybe sleeping with your head in a gas oven will clarify the situation for you. | |||
