regarding the harm from government regulation - this one takes the cake
What a stinking line of garbage.... and what makes it worse is the blatant intellectual fraud that produced it.... and Turtle - you damn well know it.
Words cannot do justice to the level of pure dishonesty it took to write such a ridiculous statement in a discussion about government regulation.
Ok, how about fugitive slave laws?
I am afraid I must call you on your BS Comrade apdst. Fugitive slave laws are not an example of the government regulating slavery.
Please try again.
It is an example of powerful government being able to decide who is more equal than others.
"A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have".
Gerald Ford (14 July 1913 – 26 December 2006) , the 38th President of the United States.
this is coming from the guy who whines about corporations being oppressors? LOL
Government regulations were the grounds for the final solution
why are you defending the Nazis?
An observation....
Private schools tend to have a very similar and traditional curriculum (many still require Latin and one other foreign language) and some how those kids do as well, or better, than some of their global counterparts on exams. Schools that have the IB program produce very strong, well-rounded students. What are they doing that is so successful?....what?
true, many of the teachers at my son's school (where I graduated-it has produced three Rhodes scholars and dozens upon dozes of Ivy League Honors or higher graduates) could not teach in the public schools because they don't have Masters in education degrees. Rather they have masters or doctorates in stuff like English Literature, american History, Biology, Chemistry, etc
which is why the kids from that school are consistently winning all sorts of state competitions in academic subjects even though the teachers aren't qualified according to the public sector teachers' unions
It's not a mystery. They get the best students. They have an application process. They don't have to teach every kid off the street.
I'm curious about whether you find anything wrong with such groupings.
That's right and up til now, his policies and executive orders have only succeeded in discouraging job creation.
I am defending intellectual honesty.
I am defending basic decency.
Something seriously lacking in your insulting remarks.
The kids from your school have won those awards because they come from wealthy, educated parents who take their parenting responsibilities seriously. The public school I went to has produced legions of Ivy graduates and national merit scholars for the same reason. In my personal experience it had very little to do with the quality of the teachers.
Not sure what you mean by "such groupings".
you just make stuff up to fit your agenda. one of the Rhodes scholars was on a scholarship-his dad was a teacher and his mom worked in the cafeteria. but you are correct about taking parenting seriously
now that is something the liberals ignore in their tax tax tax spend spend spend dogma.
if you don't drop out of HS
if you don't do drugs and if you don't spawn children before you get out of school or before you are married your chance of being poor is less than one in twenty
NONE OF THOSE THREE THINGS ARE DEPENDENT On government spending more tax dollars
Schools selecting students by whatever criteria they feel is important and parents doing the same with the schools they apply to.
Thus, when you siphon off the best students from the public school system you do end up creating an environment that's less conducive to learning in the other kids.
No, not making anything up. You know perfectly well that the sholarship kid is the exception and not the rule. In any case, I do think that good parenting is far more important than good classroom teaching. But if parenting is lacking then decent schooling is the best chance a kid gets. And by decent schooling I don't just mean good teaching. I think it's at least as important for kids to be in an educational environment where other kids take education seriously.

Siphon off the best???
AdamT - I have one thing to say about this and don't take it wrong. But never rely on the state to educate your kids. Fill your kids with a thirst for knowledge; buy them books, take them to the library, take them to museums, make them watch movies that are thought provoking.
Understand the limits of public schools...

No it is an example of a racist government making a deal between two groups in order to maintain the unity of the entire state.
If the do-gooders weren't working so hard to destroy the black family and the government wasn't trying so hard to replace the black father, black kids would be alot better off.
