This was part of assigned reading for a teaching credential program, and if we made unfounded statements like Friedman makes around 2:10, we would lose points.
If the yearly cost of your child's public education is the same or greater than the taxes you pay, then that means you have not paid for any of the other services. Now multiply that by 13 to 15 years depending on your state. Now you see how badly , childless people are being overtaxed. We all must pitch in, but childless people's contributions to public education should be the lowest, not the highest. Children, parents, and future employers get all the benefits, while childless people get zero . Those childless people will need that money later in life, cause they do not have children to come help them. Simple math people.
It sounds good in theory, but in practice the best performing schools will certainly begin to charge more, which will price out poorer parents from being able to send their children there. Which yes, is how the free market works; so if you want better quality then you must pay more. So I'm not sure how Friedman can claim it will give poorer parents access to higher quality education?
Time was not kind to his appearance. Rest in peace.
It is incredible that this was filmed 6 months before his death and he was as articulate and sharp as he always was, even at the age of 96.
RIP Milton.
This is what Sweden is doing and it has been a success there.
All this will lead to is larger private school enrollment, schools that won't take vouchers and you will be left with the same ghetto selection. Where I live I pay high taxes for a great public school system and wouldn't want to see that go away because of a voucher system, the heart of the problem is upbringing and poor parenting, not teachers. You would also have to deal with costly transportation to get inner city students to the schools of their choice.. Not gonna work.
A students are usually those who know how to know (KH2K) and apply it
B students are generally those who KH2K but don't consistently advance it
C students often don't KH2K, they do great in certain areas but not in other areas
D students often don't KH2K, get confused and frustrated leading to disinterest
F students often don't care to know
Armis is great for C and D students because it provides a process to learn how to KH2K.
Knowing how to know is the key to meaningful intelligence
Unfortunately you completely misunderstood what I said, again. Uganda demonstrates that less education results in higher birth rates. Kateri and Jay Schwandt are good examples, they are Roman Catholic which bans contraception, resulting in 12 children and more on the way (not saying that's a bad thing, the American fertility rate is good as a whole). Japan has one of the best education systems in the world and one of the lowest fertility rates in the world. It demonstrates the relationship.
So you want to sterilize American girls because a man in Uganda has 9 children that he can't afford to feed?
If you believe "Education Leads to Lower Fertility" that means you believe there is a causal relationship, which is preposterous.
Also, how do you decide to compare the education system of Japan a developed nation, with Uganda a developing nation.
Google: Kateri and Jay Schwandt of Rockford, Mich
Google search "Education Leads to Lower Fertility". Compare the education systems of Japan and Uganda, then compare the birth rates. John Baliruno, of Mpigi in central Uganda, has fathered nine children. "I never intended to have such a big number," he reflected last week. "I with my wife had no knowledge of family planning and ended up producing one child after another. Now I cannot properly feed them."
"Education itself reduces fertility rates drastically"
Hemi, you need to reduce your meds.
Have you seen the news lately? There is rampant poverty, violence, drug abuse and mental illness throughout almost every society on Earth. You may not think that we have a public health problem but future generations will certainly look back and understand that actually we do. Denying education to any child is one of the most foolish things a person could do. Education itself reduces fertility rates drastically. I'm not a dictator, I don't need to formulate contraceptive policy.
Hemi, we don't have a public health problem, you want to sterilize children as a prerequisite to free education
I posed 15 questions to your mass sterilization plan … get to work on the answers
Each society gets to formulate their own contraceptive/reproductive policy. Abortion is an example. It is illegal in the Philippines and they have many thousands of street children without caregivers. The contraceptive program would be similar to the vaccination program. Individual freedom is balanced with public health. E.g. American children are not permitted to attend school unless they have been vaccinated.
The teacher's unions are ONLY powerful where there are extremely high concentrations of teachers — major cities. NOT the vast majority of America, don't give them more credit than they deserve.
Charter schools is a great way to allow brilliant minds to create spaces for experimental teaching without placing too much risk or ANY responsibility on parents. That model is beginning to see its limits
Mikedd56, your brain is clouded with race, politics, other distractions, focus on the vouchers
I'm not surprised that "mostly black poor children" should find academic success
Race is not a factor in emergency situations the smart & the strong tend to survive, After survival most of the ppl will exit the problem area. That leaves you with strong ppl of all intel levels, which do U believe would attend sch?
Only the strong smart ppl & the strong going-to-be-smart ppl chose school during that time. They were not only survivors they were thrivers
Emergencies are anomalous by definition
part 4 of the Hemi Sterilization Project
12) Would the forced contraceptive implantation be forced on all female visitors of childbearing age?
13) If a illegal alien who is female of childbearing age is apprehended, given that she is not a legal citizen, and has no right to visit, do you force the implantation on her, or do you consider her human rights? If you do the implantation, do you remove it upon exit of the country?
14) How would you know if your program is a success or failure?
part 3 of the Hemi Sterilization Project
8) if family A is deemed fit, but family B is not deemed fit can family A have children for family B until family B is deemed fit?
9) is the criteria for becoming fit the same as remaining fit, can a family become unfit and if so what happens to the children
10) what is the maximum number of children a fit family can have
11) Is there also a criteria for god-parents?
more
part 2 of the Hemi Sterilization Project
5) since no contraceptive is 100% effective what happens if a pregnancy takes place before the parents are "deemed fit"
6) you said 'society as a whole would determine the requirements for what "fit"is' how would that take place, a national referendum, would only women of childbearing ages be able to vote on the issue. Would there be a constitutional amendment
7) how would the program get funded
more to come
