Public education doesn't equal socialism

Society has an interest in an educated populace. Do you think every country with public education is socialist?

Seems like we could transition over to a pods type learning system with remote instruction and eliminate large groups of children massed in ‘gun free zones’. This could reduce the number of teachers needed as well.


Anyone asking this didn’t live during Covid.

I used Rome because one of the most often used phrases ' All roads lead to Rome ' speaks to the construction and upkeep of a well designed road systems sets the empire apart . Some of those roads are still in use today, more than 1500 years after the fall.

Of course, the use of aqueducts and the engineering that went into their building which supplied the cities with a supply of fresh running water could be mentioned as well.

So who's at home making sure the kids are logged in and aren't watching TV? The dog?

You obviously love the socialist side of public education which is very remedial.


No, he has enough brain cells to rub together and understand that you can't leave the fricking kids at home unsupervised. Apparently you don't.

Why are we forcing return to office with our remote capabilities—that's the real issue.

In-person schooling isn't an issue for anyone—you have full autonomy to d remote.

The difference is that the covid experience was implemented on the fly without any real planning.

You are retarded—

The idea that anything left-leaning is inherently wrong, and everything right-leaning is correct, is ridiculous and sums up what's wrong with both parties.

The vast majority of real-world solutions merge many different schools of thought.

no one said this is the job of the government. You so far have admitted to having no children, no knowledge of modern education, no expertise in child development while suggesting kids need to be isolated and rely on screens instead of adults to teach them in order to keep them safe.

If you had kids in school during Covid you know how much public school got exposed.

If we were starting from zero and establishing a government education system from scratch today, would it look like what we have now given our 21st century technology? Or could we leverage that technology to improve efficiency and increase safety?
Yeah. As my kid has been growing up the one thing I’ve consistently though is “man she need moar screen time!”

Having watched a kindergarten teacher trying to conduct “classs” with 10x 5 year olds over zoom… no amount of “planning” is going to make that a productive endeavor.

I’m sure you were only talking about private schools providing food, medical care, and other social services with this post, right?

kids need socialization, exercise and enrichment every day. they also benefit from eyes on them to look for signs of abuse and neglect. many kids only eat at school, or get medical care at school.
