[QUOTE="WTJ, post: 2419668, member: 6661"] No, unfortunately, I'm not kidding at all. I also disagree that it's for my own benefit. The lack of useable reading and comprehension skills present in your average public school releasee actually makes my job much more difficult, as failing to follow written directions in my career field carries the risk of civil and criminal penalties. We could also kill a bunch of people too. Feel free to explain how this failure to educate is actually a benefit. While it pains me deeply, there ain't no ribbons for everyone outside the indoctrination camp fence. Become as indignant as you wish. I don't propose to "fix" anything. As I have no participants I neither require a fix nor should I pay for the issue of others to participate. I grew weary of the 'societal contract' discussion long ago. It's just an excuse to extort money for someone else's agenda. I have no issue paying taxes for those things that are Constitutionally mandated. Didn't see public education on that list. Having offspring is a personal choice, and people should take responsibility for their personal choices, to include their education. My apologies for having gored your ox, but I am weary of having 50 percent of my income extorted "for the" poor, sick, lame, lazy, children, or the demographic and socially correct flavor of the day. It's "for the good of society' holds zero incentive for me, particularly given the accelerating decay prevalent today. I shall call that good money after bad. Horace Mann and his Prussian model has been an abject failure from an educational standpoint, and it is time for it to go. I guess the 'fix' you requested could start there. Feel free to call me when society starts to hold the producers in the same regard as the consumers. I would also accept a consistent group of 12th grade graduates that could consistently function at an 8th grade level. [/QUOTE]
