@Gr33nwick u know what just screw it,i just hope he gets lincolned
@zetsway5000 Public schools provide a basic level of education for all regardless of their income. Private enterprises are usually better then public programs however sometimes public programs are necessary for the general welfare of the people.
@InterntzTrollerinz
Did you even read what I was talking about? The voucher program makes it so kids can pick any school they want whether private or public and it makes it so the money follows the student. Private schools are also cheaper then what we pay for each student in public schools. There is no reason for government schools to exist. Government schools are a complete failure.
The antichrist himself folks
@zetsway5000 Although conservatives generally support free market principles, it doesn’t mean they support full privatization of education. Again very few repubs support what you’re asking for.
Yes, privates schools tend to have a higher standard but thats b/c they need a higher standards than public in order to offer an incentive to parents. If there was only private schools, there would really be nothing holding up the private school education lvl.
@zetsway5000 (continued)
So as you say, the standard would therefore be set by demand or public opinion but education is too precious of a thing to leave in the volatile hands of a market. Free markets are subjected to fluctuation but education shouldn’t be. So again, private might work but not without gov regulation.
@newgarda
What are you talking about? You make baseless statements based off of nothing. Tons of republicans support the privatization of public education. In fact The vast majority of true conservatives support privatization of the public school system. public schools don’t give incentives for private schools to do better. The competition of other private schools does. (continued)
@newgarda
(continued)
You seem to think that private schools run like public schools when they aren’t. There is more then a few private school to offer a competitive market and in turn keep the standards as high as they are. What proof do you have that public schools hold up the quality of private schools when they are in no way connected? There are already countries that have privatized their public schools with a voucher system like Norway and it works much better.
@newgarda
There will always be a rising demand for education because people will always have kids. You could say food is too precious to leave to the hands of the market because everyone needs it and because the market is too “volatile” but that argument doesn’t hold water and is just a baseless statement. Again, we already have enough government regulation. Also, private education does work, not might work, but does work, because it’s already working and set into effect.
@zetsway5000 No, you are the idiot!!
I do not speak of him as anything but what he is.. Due to the fact that you are not
equipped to recognise superiority… Let me point out just a few of his qualities for you… He is a wonderful, kindhearted, intelligent & thoughtful fellow human being. Who is singularly pulling the country up.. Who deserves the utmost respect & regard…. In another words unlike yourself & Bush….
do me a favour, bugger off & crawl back under your rock!
@zetsway5000 By the way you fool.. He is not a mere emperor…
HE IS THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD!!!! COMPRENNEY COCHON?????
@zetsway5000 Like I already said, the reason why it works now is b/c there is a bar that they have to overachieve or else nobody will go to them. Yes there will also be a demand for education but for what quality of education. The demand of the quality of education depends of the responsibility of the parents and if they don’t demand it, then high quality education will not exist. Just saying its safer for there to be standard for education rather than rolling the dice.
As a British person I’m truly jealous, anyone who criticises Obama, even with the (very rare) valid criticisms needs to look around the world and back through history. Obama is one of the best world leaders of all times of all places. He is genuinely doing his best all the time. We have david Cameron here. He pretends to be like Obama and fails miserably. America you are incredibly lucky and should be thankful daily.
=-)
@JPBStory rofl cameron is a conservative
@Gr33nwick i mean why don’t you go to foreign country for studying where colleges are cheaper?
@zetsway5000 I don’t like big business any more than you but we need banks to do their proper trade and not play poker with your or my retirement, auto industry do compete on an international level (no subsidy’s) and innovate in this changing world environment and produce JOBS. And just to be fair, he inherited this s**t from one of the most corrupt administrations in the history of the USA. I’d bet my life that you couldn’t get us out of this mess any better than the Prez! peace be with you
@dd5k That was clever…
@dimaniak
Oh im sorry i misunderstood you. I thought about it and it seems like a good idea but i love my home and don’t want to leave my family and friends anytime soon. Here in California more money is spent on prisons then education which can be frustrating if you’re a student but thanks for your suggestion.
I see 96 son of fukin lossers with no life.. who decided to clicked on thumbs down.. Go find that fuker who fuked up our country for 4 years and disappeared !
@dimaniak Dont believe everything you hear my friend. Dont let Ignorance, prejudice and anger cloud your judgment. I dont want to start a fight but what you complained about was what you only heard of.
@newgarda
Again, you’re advocating that if the voucher system is implemented that the quality of private schools will go down which is not true. Just look at Norway where they implemented the voucher system. Your entire argument is based on your imaginary theories.
@JPBStory
You have no idea what you’re talking about. The vast majority of criticisms against Obama are valid. Obama is a failure of a president who is even worse then bush. Obama has given over a trillion dollars of my people’s money to line the pockets of sleazy CEO’s, he has passed a law forcing me to buy insurance from private insurance companies aka fascism, and so much more. To call him one of the greatest presidents is to be a historic and political illiterate.
@spencershidner
I’m tired of people playing the inherited card. Obama has inherited problems HE helped create in the senate, and he has made them much worse then bush could of ever dreamed of. You can’t blame the trillion+ dollar deficit on bush when it was obama who spent the money. Why are you talking about hypotheticals to change the subject? I’m not the president, but I could name over a thousand people that could do a better job then obama. Obama is only making the problems worse.
@dimaniak Exactly which is why it’s all the more disgusting when he pretends to be doing soemthing because of a socialist ideal.
=-)
@zetsway5000 “To? call him one of the greatest presidents is to be a historic and political illiterate”…In your opinion. Have you not watched the video you’re commenting on? Actually he has given universal healthcare, you can now have cheaper healthcare and there’s no reason why you’d have to change from your old healthcare plan if you don’t want to. To call it fascism is political illiteracy. Do you even know what fascism is?
