How public education cripples our kids, and why
Is "standard" a new euphemism for "paid with stolen money"?
greenfroguser5:No nation can prosper without proper education.
greenfroguser5:Hence the education system should be standard.
This "standardized" education has been the direction we have been heading in since the late 1800's and look at what it has done to kids. Private and home schooled students stand head and shoulders above their public school counterparts.
A nationalized public education system is extremely dangerous and destructive since it only seeks to shape and mold students into a form pleasing and advantageous to the state. How can we actually believe we live in a free society under this system? Were the great western philosophers and the founders of America raised up in a state controlled education system? Of course not!
I love what Mises wrote about this in Human Action, because it's so praxeologically true -the innovators of society don't rely on schooling in mainstream ideas, but it is only in as much as they depart from these ideas that they are innovators.
Ironically, you didn't add blank spaces after your periods.
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process. Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!" Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."

I wouldn't call arbitrarily forcing people of certain ages to attend socialized priso- I mean day-care centers "educational".
