The State's Education Monopoly Increases Prices and Destroys Choice - Ron Paul

- Charleston Voice -

“So don't shoot the messenger mate. Most thrid world countries would give their right arm for the opportunities we all have. The sad reality is that society is pushing a lowest common denominator agenda whilst wanting their little darlings to behave as they wish.”

Of course most of the third world wishes they had the education system we do. Does this validate the system? Not at all. Most of the third world would also like to have access to our garbage, the amount of stuff we throw away as useless is considered treasure by many in poorer countries. Does this make our garbage seem less useless to us? Your comment is comical at best.

You are right ranbotrader, I have never worked as an educator, however my wife has spent the last 25 years fighting through the educational system as a teacher. I have a sister, two nieces, a nephew, and a couple of friends who are teachers and that’s not inclusive of my wife’s friends the majority of which are, you guessed it, teachers. I also have a circle of friends that are part of a home schooling group. I believe I have enough exposure to both sides and have gleaned considerable information, more than enough to form a valid opinion and critique the educational systems employed by western societies. My original comments stand on pretty solid ground and your comment on parents wanting the curriculum watered down is one based on a minority sampling. Yes, I’ve heard all of that as well, there are always a few parents that concern themselves more with their children coming home with high grades than actually learning anything of value. Unfortunately you’ll find many of these kids are the ones leading the mall rat processions and this is not to fault the kids, the blame for their lot lays upon their parents lack of interest in raising their kids.

“The reason why there is no respect is firstly the media 'education' of kids and secondly PARENTS who delegate the teaching of manners, control and common courtesy to the education system.”

I believe you made my point for me. If parents spent adequate amounts of time interacting with their children instead of farming them out to the local mind warping school, and then allowing them to watch 6 hours of laugh tracked stupidity on TV, today’s young people would most certainly have more of what was called character and respect for others. They would have the ability to understand basic social concepts such as not swearing at the top of their lungs in a bus, and so on. Yes I know, it’s better that some kids spend less time with their parents but please, let’s focus on the majority here. Teachers hands are tied, they have no option to discipline students, this was all taken away by the same liberal morons that wanted us to believe their LSD induced musings that you could reason with a four year old as if they were 10th graders if you just tried really really hard to talk to them.

I wonder if you even looked into the difficulties parents that choose to home school face. Then there’s the stigma that home schooled kids are dumb, less educated than the product of the worker mills the rest of the kids go through. The reality is that home schooled kids consistently score higher in virtually every subject than the kids that were processed through government mills. These kids are also allowed to shine in areas they are naturally gifted. Parents spend considerably more time interacting with and witnessing what each child is capable of. A parents natural instinct is to give children what they want and if what they desire will elevate them in a profession a parents pride will ensure the child has every opportunity to pursue this passion. Yet home schoolers are sneered at, frowned upon as some sort of anarchists, and ridiculed by most politicians as contrarians. They are looked down upon as wanting their children to be ‘backwards’ just because they won’t bend to the will of politicians.

You spend time on this site, do you own PM’s? If so are you not also going against the will of politicians? You are then cast into the same category as home schoolers. They don’t trust the most valuable thing they have, their children to a bunch of bought and paid for politicians who are hell bent on putting their kids in debt in the form of educational loans and then making them debt slaves for life. If you own PM’s then you don’t trust politicians with your financial security. Owners of PM’s and home schoolers have a lot in common, they don’t trust government with valuables and they don’t want to be debt slaves.

That is the true reality.

Beginning of the headline : This selection is taken from Chapter 5 of Ron Paul's new book The School Revolution: A New Answer for Our Broken Education System. The free-market principle of open entry is challenged by governmental restrictions on access to consumer markets. There are many official justifications for these restrictions, but the main one is this: “Customers do not know what is good for them.” They do not know what products to buy, what prices to pay, or...
