[quote=Blogstar]Public school is a gift , the teachers are a gift and a blessing. Yes there are imperfections in both , yes there is social stratification tendencies, but that’s the proper attitude about school.
Scaredy, I can’t imagine you raising your kids to have a bunch of excuses and behaviors that totally trash the gift and disrupt it for everyone else while making their own futures much poorer. Maybe you can’t relate , have you ever tried to survive an excessively hostile school room environment when the harsh came from the kids? Why make excuses for someone else’s kids? Because those excuses hurt everybody. What is it, low expectation for them? Hate?[/quote]
mandatory uniform schooling that doesn’t work cant be the right (well, the humane) social answer /// what if mandatory schooling was something you were bad at and you were forced to do it all day long, and you were humiliated at your failrue to be able to do it. wouldnt that seem bad. lets say society were set up around something that you simply couldnt do well. crocheting. i dont know. and you had to sit and do it for the full school day every day and shut up and be quiet. over and over.
cant we adapt to our humanity
but maybe the system is working as it is supposed to.
people ahve no value other than as cannon fodder, consumers/emplyees and prisoners or guards.
