you can't create equal access to education without a police state. what are you going to do? make laws that the rich aren't allowed to hire private tutors for their kids?
what you're actually saying is that a certain minimum level of education should be publicly funded. Who decides what metrics we use to judge education? It would seem that we're currently doing a terrible job at this.
- gnaritas 18y agoNo we're not, most kids get out of high school with the ability to read and write. Before public education, you could not say that about most people. Public education is that minimal level of education and it accomplishes that job quite well. Could it be better, sure, but without it things would be much worse.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agowhat are you talking about? illiteracy rates were lower before public education started. You can make claims about differences in population if you want, but purely on a percent basis you're wrong.
- gnaritas 18y agoI'd happily change my opinion on the matter if you can cite a source that counts more than just white people.
