I you ever need heart surgery, be sure and find a doctor to do the procedure who's never been to school....find one who learned on youtube
Well, technically it is cheaper to produce a new child than a new soldier, since the first is a prerequisite to the second. Maybe we need to figure out a way to reverse the process, and turn soldiers into children. barfo
that's not because of schools...they go to school every waking hour in asia...go to school after school...what's hurt our kids is ENTERTAINMENT obsession....lack of ambition. Parenting....that's where you start. I've taught in asia and in America..big difference is the way they value education and pay for tutoring …..not a lot of that here...sports and entertainment rule in America. It's purely value system based. Teachers have a national holiday in asia and are paid like bankers and doctors….here....we don't pay for talent in the teaching profession before the college level. There...they do pay for talent and respect the profession
Worked for many of the top electronics engineers at Tektronix, Boeing, Intel, Battelle, CH2MHill, Advanced Micro Devices and others. Everyone in my graduating class at OSU went to a public school and the computer you are using has vital components, including the Micro Processor, developed by these guys. How about the mouse you use? Developed by a guy from OSU who went to public school. The only people I know who went to a private school are my great niece and great nephew who went to a religious school. My great niece put together a program and became the director of that program that took their brightest students and made them tutors to a public school nearby. My public high school had the highest percentage of graduates in Oregon who attended college. The more students we divert to private schools the lower the income level of those attending public schools. This is not a good thing. Kids do better when they're surrounded by a variety of other kids. Variety of IQs, variety of races, variety of religions, variety of ethnicity, variety of income levels, all sorts of varieties.
There is a very big difference between public school and private schools. Is there a free medical school that I'm unaware of? I'd rather not have a doctor from that school if there is one.
my response was to e schooling taking over classroom schooling...or any professional training..be glad your heart surgeon didn't learn the trade online
Sorry you had it bad but my nieces, nephews, great niece, great nephew were learning calculus in high school as well as chemistry more advanced than I had and I learned the shell structures when I was in high school. You should try an urban or suburban school and get out of those rural schools.
TV , video games and cell phones are glorified babysitting....you get a free education if you can throw a football 6o yards
El Pres is talking about k-12 and you're trying to insert continued education into the argument. They're two totally different things. Not even remotely in the same universe. Every kid is supposed to go to k-12. Not every kid goes to college, let alone medical school. A better argument would be whether or not you care if if the guy checking you out at Costco got his high school diploma from a brick and mortar school, or from online?
All medical schools have free scholarships for those who show great promise. My great niece is attending Emory in Atlanta, right where the Center for Disease Control, CDC, is located, on a scholarship. She plans to do medical research, she already interned for a company doing that right here in Portland.
You're also free to homeschool all you like or pay for private school....but the classroom and teaching profession are alive and well and for good reason.
In Asia, which you brought up in another post, video games are much much bigger than any other sport. Their superstars are gamers. In South Korea their kids learn how to play video games instead of football or baseball or soccer. Esports is huge in those countries.
Nope, riverman was trying to point out the importance of education in general. I thought that was rather obvious.
