Simple Question

[Beefy]

I remember having everyone pissed off at me at p.com back in '04 for posting this question.

But its a pretty simple question:

Who should determine where a child goes to school?

A.) His parents

B.) The government

A.)

TEH GOVERNMENTS!

 

[Minister of Truth]

Parents are too stupid to determine such important matters.

 

[uscitizen]

that is true 3d as most seem to want the gummit to raise their children for them.

 

[evince]

Without the government intervention into schooling most kids would go to school nowhere.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Well, its nice to see someone on your side say that. I believe Desh was saying a while back how most parents don't really know what is in the best interests of their children...

Nor does the gob'ment. You will notice they are made up of those same people. They just believe they are more competent because they agree with themselves.

 

[uscitizen]

Umm damo I would think all mostly sane people agree with themselves....

 

[evince]

Can a parent deside to not school their child at all?

 

[DigitalDave]

LOL, Desh voted for herself...

 

[uscitizen]

Desh, In Ky you can if you want to be fined or goto jail or lose custody.

 

[Damocles]

Can a parent deside to not school their child at all?

They can do that now by simply "homeschooling" poorly.

 

[Damocles]

Duh, but for some reason these people think it is a special trait and therefore they "know" what is best for everybody's children. Make sure they go to a state-sponsored school, lean to speak Newspeak and think Newthink...

 

[uscitizen]

yeah we need a bit better oversight on home schooling.
Too easy to use this to hide various forms of abuse.

Let's put it this way... No Child Left Behind, Iraq, Patriot Act, $9.1 Trillion deficit, medical marijuana still illegal, and you think they make better decisions than a parent of their own child?

For some no, after all many parents supported all these things.
