    And, of course, private schools would simply use the voucher price as a baseline in order to raise their tuition rates.

    Aren’t free libraries public?

    He gets it from this Gatto guy who uses like one census report from 1840 to claim that the country had a 100% literacy rate. It’s bullshit. The literacy rate was less than 80% by all reasonable accounts for whites, this isn’t even getting into the issue of blacks and slaves. It’s 99% now.

    I love Libertarians. Shit just “pops up” in your world. Libertarianism is a shortcut to thinking for brats who have John Galt complexes, people who can’t understand how much our civil society has done for them.
    What really baffles me is your understanding of the past. We developed public education because schools didn’t just pop up for the poor. You know what did pop up for them? Sweatshops. Wage slavery. Child labor. That’s the world you are trying to return to.

    You just used the word tooken. If you determine what your kids learn, they’re fucked.

    Total bullshit. Look at the best education systems in the world and you will find strong public education systems. The only countries in the world that have exclusively private education are third world countries with high levels of inequality and little to no social mobility. The sky is falling rhetoric over public education in the US never ceases to amaze me. Getting rid of public education is a step back, a devolution of our democratic society and a betrayal of our ideals.

    Dude, you really need to remix the sound on this. I can barely hear your narrative.

    Great video. Thanks! I always wonder why are schools so expensive, and why people who went to public schools are weaker than those who went to private in their education. That explains it. :)

    yes by sending our children to strictly ‘one type of school’ – we are again deliberately designing our child to exist purely as a belief system. This is why the world relies on our children becoming systems – because we exists for money and survival based on fears. So specific belief structured schooling – is again suppoirting the parents in their beliefs (which is based on fear) of the world and of themselves and does not support practical common sense living

    MrDarwinist83, “Market mechanism” might not make every sector of human life better, but it sure would make education better. Look at what our teachers’ unions have done: They demand more pay for less work, more job security for less competence, equal pay regardless of teaching ability or whether anyone learns. What a scam!

    Market forces, like choice and profit (which also includes loss), would eliminate the institutionalized mediocrity that our teachers’ unions fight so hard to maintain.

    and here comes almighty Obama promising everyone false “change” and getting the masses to support a lying mad man.
    and now Obama says that American education is low compared to the rest of the world so he wants to make school hours longer and summers shorter, Yet continue teaching them the same stuff……and all the recent videos of children praising Obama when they dont even know their State Senators….
    WAKE UP STUPID FUCKERS!!!

    welcome to Nazi America

    the FED is a private institution correct?

    Why is there a Federal government?

    Free the mind and let the people speak. We have the right to determine what we want our kids to learn., Instead of the state teaching us only they can secure our freedoms. Yet it has always been the state that has tooken our liberty.

    I’m not sure I agree with giving parents the choice of enrolling their child in a strictly religious, military, or new age school. I think children should be exposed to a variety of ideas, and have the option to examine and choose their beliefs for themselves. I think the most important thing in any education is fostering a child’s passion, instead of supressing it like today’s schools do. ex, if a student enjoys writing, their education should focus on writing.

    joesub: You presuppose that parents have full knowledge of the product (in this case the education of their children). You also leave out of equation those children whose parents don’t care about their children’s education.

    MrDarwinist83 makes no logical sense. With the freedom and diversity of competitive free market, Parents will be empowered to avoid schools that “sacrifice all those aspects of education” MrDar mentions. Parents will choose schools that offer “all those aspects of education” Mr. Darwinist mentions. Break the monopoly of the one size fits all factory Government School System. Liberate the diversity, creativity and alternatives of free market education. Choose Choice! Freedom is the answer!

    “Market mechanism” doesn’t magically make every sector of human life better. If schools are privatized, it naturally follows that they sacrifice all those aspects of education that can’t be turned in to profit. Maby the problem with libertarians is that you don’t believe that there are any sectors in human life that can’t be turned in to profit?

    Vouchers are the only answer to break this monopoly. in europe , where children consistently test better than the US the money per child is attached to the child and follows the child anywhere the parents chose to send them. That way schools have to be competitive. Vouchers work the same way. It’s also more fair for parents who pay to send their children to private schools and have to also pay school tax.

    Plus, standardized testing creates competition within the schools. How you are evaluated and then treated by the administration comes down to how your students perform on these tests. And yes, the administration will make your life a living hell. You will want to quit. And many of the bad ones do leave. I teach in a public school in a lower socioeconomic area. The biggest problem I face is the cultural ideology of the students and parents. Many of them see education as not important.

    History classes do teach the reasons why an event occurred. So, this is not a valid argument in this presentation. As far as sex education, that also is a parents choice. There are parent permission slips for that, and yes, they are enforced. The propaganda of slipping standards is also a fabrication in this presentation. In fact the standards at times are possibly too rigorous in some cases. For example, algebra and geometry have become a standard for grade three in my district.

    I do agree on the part of sex education. Family should be given that privilege.
