ParticipantThe best thing we can do to help our economy is get more money into the hands of those that are going to spend it the fastest.
———————–
Exactly. Money that goes to the government — especially if it is used for payroll — ends up back in the economy much more quickly than if a “rich” person is allowed to hoard it. Poor people spend money in ways that make other people better-off because they buy all the little things that are used in daily life and employ the majority of the population. This spending gets money to others **without any strings or further obligations (interest, etc.) attached.**Investors use money to get more money (returns on investments), and the goal of every investor is to take money out of someone else’s pocket and put it into their own. This myth (capital is more valuable than labor) was spread by the very people who brought us to where we are today — the top of a credit bubble with a tremendous portion of population carrying debt that they can never hope to repay — and no real assests of their own.
Banks (and the corporations/politicians that feed and enable them) want us to believe that we could not survive without them — and especially that we could not survive without thier “kind and generous” offers of ever-increasing credit. It is a lie meant to enslave the working class by forcing them into ever-rising debt loads that make bankers, etc. very, very wealthy at the expense of the working classes.
Bankrupt, greedy gamblers, all. When capital is more highly valued than labor, IMHO, it is the sign of a collapsing society.
****************In full disclosure, all of my personal income comes from investing, so what I’m saying is not in my own best interests. However, I can certainly tell the difference between right and wrong / constructive and destructive.

ParticipantIf you truly feel your children are better off being under your wing 24/7, then you probably think your child should be home-schooled also. And I couldn’t disagree more with that particular arrangement!
————————-Why do you disagree with that “particular arrangement”?
1. Children get individualized instruction that they could NEVER get in a regular school setting.
Very few children perform at a particular grade level in all subjects. One might be capable of 5th grade math, 2nd grade writing, 4th grade reading, 9th grade art, etc. With individualized instruction, the child can work on each subject in the optimal way.
2. Homeschooled children rarely get sick, don’t get molested by teachers and won’t be abducted before/after school. In “bad” areas, this (threat of abduction) is much more common than you could imagine.
3. Homeschooling families can travel, learn different languages and participate in more extra-curricular activities — and can do so in a much more intensive way, if a student has a particular talent and desire.
4. Contrary to popular belief, homeschooled kids are not locked up in closets, hidden away from the outside world. They play with friends and neighbors, go to park days and field trips, and do all the “regular” things other kids do. One difference…they do not get the negative aspects of “socializing” with other kids (bullying, inappropriate behavior, etc.), because parents can choose the environment and type of company their children keep.
5. Homeschooling puts family first, over peers, which is important because kids are often not capable of making rational decisions while they are young, and often need some guidance. These kids tend to have very strong bonds with their parents and siblings, and are more inclined to seek (and respect!) their parent’s advice.
***********
I don’t think everyone (parents and children) should homeschool, but I certainly don’t think traditional school is right for everybody either. People should do whatever works best for them, as we all have different needs, abilities and desires.
