Education
by Rick
Stanley
| 125 years ago, the
Federal Government took over the educational system in
America. This was another illegal intrusion by the
Federal Government into the rights of parents to educate
their own children. I believe the schools should be privatized immediately with parents setting the curriculum of the schools. The education system currently rewards administrators (not teachers), emphasizes the preaching of often contradictory moral principles, not the teaching of basic curriculum. It rewards students not wanting to learn, not those who value education. I believe in the parents' right to choose whatever school they wish to send their children to attend and the right to educate their own children at home. |

Quotes about Education: "It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of education have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wrack and ruin without fail. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty. To the contrary, I believe that it would be possible to rob even a healthy beast of prey of its voraciousness, if it were possible, with the aid of a whip, to force the beast to devour continuously, even when not hungry, especially if the food, handed out under such coercion, were to be selected accordingly." --Albert Einstein "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." -- Thomas Jefferson (1777) |
