Stupidest things that your school system has done

[Yandere Schoolgirls]

So it's not education, it's the system needing to be redone.

You're right, it needs to be privatized and not be mandatory.

Sure, it may affect you, but does it effect you? Does the poor eating habits of some one else effect you? or some coke addict shooting up heroin? Indirectly maybe, but that's arbitrary. Directly though? unlikely. Unless, of course, you were forced to pay a portion of your wage into a system that propagates poor behavior.

Yes, it does actually. Poor eating habits uses up more healthcare. Doing coke in your home obviously doesn't affect me, unless he overdoses, and thus uses up more resources. How is me being affected indirectly arbitrary just because you say so?

I think they word you're looking for is effected, not affected. Regardless, it's arbitrary, because anything they do with the exception of you being raised by a coke addict can be labelled as an "effect" on you. Examples: Drug addicts work less! the economy is dragged down! Drug addicts do nothing, my taxes pay for them to eat! The effects are randomly chosen and unfounded. In reality a druggy probably has no real effect on you, because if you don't like his behavior you can simply walk away.

In other words, you want America's economy to be held back.

Don't see how that is relevant.

The school system is one of the few things I support to be privatized and run as the principal wants it to be, so we can choose the best from different methods.

If school made America's economy better. Why doesn't it show? For all you know we could be educating the brightest and most hard-working pupils just so they can leave the country and find jobs elsewhere. In fact we probably are.

It would be very irresponsible if a parent decides to do that - so his or her kid is just going to shut him/herself in a room preaching for the whole day? What happens when the kid becomes an adolescent or an adult, and decides religion isn't his/her thing, and wants to study something else? Consider all those years lost because s/he is only familiar with religion. It will take him or her a lot more efforts to learn the basic skills of life.

By the way, parents need to educate their children with some maths and languages.

Schools offer a variety of subjects for kids to explore. Now do they like all of them? No, so it will be easier for them to pick a better major in college in the future.

Also, public schools are not all that bad. Some are far better than private schools. Search up Stuyvesant or Thomas Jefferson High School. They are two of the top high schools in the country and they are both public.

Of course, there are also good public universities. Slashing public school system in your previous post without any research is kind of inaccurate.

The best public schools are all in wealthy and affluent neighborhoods. Poor neighborhoods get second class seats.

Sure, a few parents would brainwash their children, but that wouldn't happen very often. It doesn't even happen very often today. Unless you want to believe they don't want to believe they don't care.

Think about it though, would you, yourself rather send you child to the best school or the worst? Most people have enough common sense to choose the former. Just like most people would prefer to have the best of whatever interests them. When's the last time you've heard of some one buy humungous tube TV rather than a LED flatscreen. It's that simple: Parents will more than likely choose the best for their children.

If they don't, so what? Reality check: It's none of your business, because it's not your child.

Second class seats are better than nothing. Poor families can't afford private schools. At least they will be learning something in public school. Always better than nothing.

We've known for the longest time that public education is important in the economy. I'm honestly not surprised you don't.

My German teacher took many things fro me, including:
My virginity (Long story)

It's not a long story. It takes a couple of words on your part: "We fucked," and three on my part: "You two fucked." Seriously, it's not that hard...

[The God-Realm]

Yeah, I say the government is making our children stupid.

Call me crazy, but all these medicines that are given and this "creative spelling" shit and our kids caring only about Snooki and her bullshit seems fishy.

My German teacher is old, and uses Guerrilla tactics to teach.
(maybe the Vietcong taught him)
I am in German 3 and I only understand half of German 1.

You've got it all backwards, public education harms the economy, because we're paying for so many useless classes and staff that should and have to be cut. As well as forcing people to invest in children who just may decide to leave the country with the education they received. That's a lost of an investment.

Second of all, your link wrongly assumes that the causes of poorer performances are directly linked to educational attainment. This isn't true. It's linked to genetics and cognitive ability, obviously.

I. Scientists have known for a long time that environment is a big factor in intelligence. It isn't all genetics.
II. "Cognitive ability" is virtually worthless if you are uneducated.
III. Education allows people to do skilled labour. Skilled labour is important for the economy. You can't do skilled labour if you haven't been taught the skills required.
IV. Are you under some illusion that Americans and Europeans are leaving their developed wealthy nations en masse to go work in poor impoverished nations?

I agree. Even a lot of people graduating out of college lack any sort of common sense or work ethic. Common sense goes out the window when you're focused on getting good grades, I suppose.

Children who don't like the system, can always be drugged. If they get poor grades they'll just send them to the lower classes where they effectively learn nothing, and waste their time. Thus another waste of resources. That's another stupid thing that schools do. Hold children captive who don't want to attend.

I'm waiting on your to explain these "useless classes" and provided sources for anything you're saying.

That's nice. Let's not invest in anything then.

Where the fuck is your source? Poor performances have yet to actually be linked to genetics and "cognitive ability." Let me guess, you think IQ tests are valid. There are two main things that cause children to do poor: parenting and the way the education system is set up. Parenting is actually extremely important, and parenting is the most important factor in education. So, if anything we should put the time and effort to emphasize to parents that they are important, while at the same time reforming the public education system.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you had bad experiences with public education, so now you're on a mission to get rid of it for everyone else.

Have you not been to school? The value of every class is subjective. One student might be able to learn a lot on his/her own, and another student might not be interested or need much education beyond the rudimentary. An obvious class that comes to mind would be computer tech, which effectively spends hours teaching kids things they could learn on a 30 second google search.

You're right, I shouldn't have to. It's a parents duty.

I thought it would be pretty obvious that smart people usually perform better at school. See what I mean now by a lack of common sense?

No, I just want my taxes cut, so I can make more money. Close though. I don't want to pay into your stupid school system. If it's so important to you guys, then you should hike your own taxes and leave people like me out.

I'm wondering if you've been to school yourself. I know many students learn a lot on their own. I learn quite a lot from books. That has no warrant on public education. You're still being vague. What do you consider "beyond the rudimentary"? Concerning Computer Tech, are you talking high school? From my own experience, I can't say much concerning that.

You're right, I shouldn't have to. It's a parents duty.

No, I mean why invest in anything? Why stop at school?

I thought it would be pretty obvious that smart people usually perform better at school. See what I mean now by a lack of common sense?

If it's so obvious, there should be a scientific consensus on it and you should be able to find sources, instead of saying, "IT'S OBVIOUS! YOU DON'T HAVE COMMON SENSE!" Back it up.

Haha, no. Move then.
