SK in CV: Meet 8 year old Juanita from Paraguay. She is very cute and bright and innocent. She smiles a lot and is very likable.
Do you really think she deserves less of an education than Joe’s son simply because of where SHE was born? How arrogant!
Why should we discriminate based on a criteria as passe as physical location? Why not educate everyone in the whole world?
We can either fly everybody here for 18 or so years or we can just send out say 200 million teachers to do it on location. That’ll give class sizes of about 30 students per teacher. Hope that’s ok with you.[/quote]
I suppose you’ve made a point here. I have no idea what it is. I think Juanita is as worthy of an education as any other child. Unfortunately, living in Paraguay, with one of the lowest literacy rates on the planet, she’s unlikely to get much of an education. Hopefully her parents will find a way to sneak her across the border so we can provide it.
(And in case you were wondering, I would have no problem with a world without borders. In theory anyway.)
