As I said, it's paid by taxes.
Quote:Factually, Mathematically and Financially, the receivers of state 'education' have their money forcibly taken from them to fund the indoctrination camps when they are adults.
Indoctrination camps? You moron, what you teach can be corrupted, but not knowledge. How do you suggest you ensure that everyone gets the possibility to gain as much knowledge as possible?
Quote:Each child is born with over $50,000 in federal debt. So are you saying 50,000 = 0?
Oh really? Funny, besides what I have unpaid on my Visa card (my limit is 1000€, btw) I have no debt.
Quote:Plus, state 'schools' is not education by definition. Education is a voluntary application to the pursuit of knowledge.
Yeah, you might be better off if you bought a dictionary or at least had the sense to Google things. Education, by definition, is:
Noun
The process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, esp. at a school or university: "a new system of public education".
(It can also be a synonym to pedagogy, but that's irrelevant in this case.)
Quote:Children are forced into state 'schools'. So the correct word is indoctrination.
Why use quotation marks around school? What's a school in your opinion? And indoctrination is defined as to instruct in a doctrine, principle, ideology, etc., especially to imbue with a specific partisan or biased belief or point of view and though I agree that some teachers are indeed biased, I as a student have never been afraid to question my teachers if something didn't seem right. Thanks to my education I've gained knowledge and understanding, how to think and not an opinion of what I should think.
Quote:And if you are going to make wild claims about Finland having the most 'knowledgeable' workforce, then at least show evidence.
As I already stated, the PISA results: http://www.oecd.org/pisa/46643496.pdf
An article in the Huffington Post agrees.
Here's Yahoo Finance's take on the matter.
The 2012 Legatum Prosperity Index ranks Finland as third regarding entrepreneurship and opportunity.
Quote:Otherwise you are just making your points more and more unbelievable.
Bitch please!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
