Who here supports Federally Funded Primary Education?

[Jarod]

I do, I am just wondering if there is anyone here who does not and is willing to admit it, or defend such a position.

 

[The Dude]

I support tax payer funded college!
Like France

I do too, in many circumstances it would be the right choice. Not just France but Saudi Arabia and Spain and many others.

Louisiana gives free public school college!

 

[FKD19124]

no. It should be left to the states. federally funded education then means a "one size fits all" curriculum which I am against.
I am actually for education vouchers. Let the local school districts compete, then maybe they will get their act together.

 

[canceled.2021.1]

I don't support either.

First of all, not everyone needs to go to college. That is a fact. Second of all, education should be privatized and let the free market prevail.

Would you be okay with States deciding they do not want to fund education?

So, would you be okay with some choosing not to educate there kids?

 

[FKD19124]

if they want to privatize it, go ahead. let people home school too if they want.

Would you be okay with States deciding they do not want to fund education?

 

[Conservative]

Even if you home school you are forced to support Government schools. Does our Constitution empower the Government to tax us and spend money on schools?

 

[FKD19124]

this is true. but at least if you home school, you can do it the way you feel appropriate.
Thats a good question about the constitution though.

yes.

education obviously doesn't = success right? you talk about myths, there is a myth that the more educated you are, the wealthier you will be.

 

[The Dude]

yes.

Education is highly correlated with income, the more degrees the higher the pay.

 

[Damocles]

No. Education is a power of government, one which the federal government does not have. If you want to control education at a Federal level you need to amend the constitution.

 

[Conservative]

I don't know if that's true. Is it?

 

[Damocles]

I don't know if that's true. Is it?

No. It isn't. It depends on the type of degree. People like Topper with a degree in pencil stick figure drawings don't get paid all that much, and can't spell.

 

[Airstrip One]

Perception is all that matters. Since people believe that college degrees have value, employers will hire based upon that perception and pay more for having a more relevant or advanced degree.

 

[The Dude]

You make a lot more than 180k

 

[Airstrip One]

Just look at the state of associates degrees. They are replacing HS diplomas because employers no longer see any value in HS grads, but see a glut in the community college market and realize there are a lot of two-year graduates applying for jobs to fill that void left by useless HS education.

They do if they push a pencil for an oil company.
