[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what  isreplaces it? Vouchers for the poor masses to send their kids to the fundamentalist Christian school of their choice? [/quote]

Lots of really uneducated kids being "homeschooled" [/quote]

I was home schooled, because school was failing me.  Went back and ended up graduating top ten.

I learned first-hand how inefficient school is.  When I could get all the lessons done by the time the bus got to school.[/quote]

That doesn’t make school inefficient.  That means school is done at scale and your being homeschooled was done only for you.

People really need to understand efficiency better.[/quote]

Not PP but Yes, educating humans at scale --especially K-8 --is dehumanizing and inefficient. It's done bc in our country education is inextricably linked with childcare. We do it like this bc we've created a society where both parents have to work. But it is hardly any kind of "gold standard" for educating children and it causes a lot of family conflict. Part of burning the Dept of Ed to the ground is a reflection of a larger zeitgeist back to hyperlocal governance. People hate having their families lives impacted by such massive systems of governance and this is partly a symbolic rejection of that [/quote]

Then you don't really have a country anymore.  Just a loose collection of states.[/quote]

No, we have a Republic and literally the only thing that will hold it together is federalism. And thank God for that bc without that flexibility we would snap off bc this country is just too big otherwise. It's actually amazing that we have different states that reflect different political tendencies and that you can move to the one that reflects your personal affinities. So much easier than immigrating to a foreign country. Scale is everything and the ability to scale up and down afforded by federalism with relative ease compared to other nations is what will hold us together.[/quote]
