Should post grad be funded by the government? Yes. Next question.
Feel like I'm answering whether or not public schools should be a thing from some 19th century peasant.
- AlexandrB 9mo agoIt's a question of supply and demand though. Sure we should fund science post grad, I'm not so sure about humanities (supply already outstrips demand there). Saying we should fund "post grad" in general elides this complexity. Public school is as much about providing babysitters for parents that have to work as it is about education. Notice how hard it is to be expelled from public school. Grades are irrelevant. This is very different from how post secondary education operates.
- hparadiz 9mo agoWhen compulsory education became a thing it met resistance from families that didn't wanna lose another pair of working hands on the farm. Babysitting is a 20th century post agrarian phenomenon.
