  • we need gov't nurseries from birth until it's time for gov't preschool where students can leave and go to gov't daycare everyday because their parents too busy getting gov't handouts. soon it will be time for gov't elementary school then jr. high then h.s. then college, then graduate school and finally a gov't job, where they can have kids who can do it all over again.

  • Man that loves your child more than you is called pedophile.

  • Yay! More taxes!

  • Brave New World anyone?

  • Pre-schools can be good for some kids, but there's no problem if you don't want your kids in it.

  • ~2:57 - This statement is not only the case for education but for every aspect of life over which government has a monopoly; gov't can do a horrible job but the taxpayer has to subsidize them to keep them in business.

  • We should not fund this crap. Children need to be taught by parents.

  • pre-k ladies are bitches. I would give my wife a real beating if she even thought about dumping my child to a pre-k or kindergarden.

  • Parents are expected to pick many things for their children. Why can't they also chose the school and curriculum? Stossel makes a great case for privatizing education. If I want my kids taught evolution - you know, proper science - I should be able to pick a school and curriculum which includes that.

  • man I feel so damn stupid for thinking that it was a good idea.

  • @bustapunk101 Don't feel bad! Just the fact that you're now seeing things differently (as are many) is a promising sign.

  • @bustapunk101 The fact that you are persuaded by reasonable persuasion is a positive :-)

  • Aren't parents supposed to educate their kids ?

  • @MrKiromunist Exactly.

  • Wait, didn't we institute kindergarden to help single parents? Now we need pre-k? Who says we even need pre-K? Try improving K-12 and then worry about 4 year olds.

  • WE NEED MORE GOVERNMENT!!! MORE SUBSIDIZED STUFF !!! WELFARE ON DEMAND !!!

  • "Well, if you can do that with children who are so poor and so deprived, can you imagine what you can do with middle income kids?" Wow, that argument is failed in so many ways it hurts. She - the advocate for the pre-k schooling - directly relates income level with intelligence. AND THEY TELL US WE'RE BIGOTED!!

  • we need to get our troops out of iraq... fuck this shit.

  • The government is just looking for more ways to waste our money and brainwash our children. We need smaller federal government! State government creates competition between the states! If one state does something, the other states can see how the people of the first state like the results and decide whether or not to do similar things, and if people start leaving the first state then it will change whatever it needs to get people back. If the federal government does something where will we go?

  • 3:57 If you can do that......

    Yeah, and if walking a little more and eating a little less can significantly reduce the wieght of morbidly obese people then if healthy people do those same things they will be superpowerful athletes.

  • Free Pre-K... please. If we wanna help single parents lets just offer government funded daycare for all. I see that as more honest. And to keep them on their toes attach the money to the kids.

  • Well... We do not control the Government. Government controls us. They tell us what to do, we don't. And they can make laws whether we like it or not. The only way to get freedom back is to abolish or end the Federal Government for 226 years as we know it. Then we can join Canada and Mexico as North America Union and as a third world country. It's much better.

  • the gov just wants to have control of your kids from the time they are born to teach them that goverment is great.

  • The elites are going to bankrupt america. They are well aware of what they're doing, the know they're wasting money, guess what? That's what they want to do. Bankrupt america so they can impose martial law and buy bankrupt businesses penny on the dollar.

  • Pre-K is a load of bullshit parents themselves can teach their kids what they are supposedly thaught.

  • Now that over $12 trillion have been pledged towards our financial crisis, more people than ever are concerned about where their money is going, and if it's accomplishing anything. We must know what is happening with our money, and the Federal Reserve must come clean with the American people.

    Please support ron Paul and the The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009

  • Preschool is totally pointless anyway.

  • There is a time for everything, and putting kids into school just when they are beginning to learn about the basic foundation of life in this world is to be honest scary if it isn't from their very own parents. Just because we have a Government doesn't mean we need to shove it in front of everything that has a huge problem.

  • Plus, it's great if parents can build their relationship with their child by reading to them, and later, teaching them to read. My parents taught me a lot before I went to kindergarten, and being rewarded with pride from your parents when your little is a positive experience for children who will learn that there is a reward for learning. Kids love nothing more than hearing "good job" from a parent and from showing off new skills =P

  • Another year to dumb these poor innocents down. Public education is a crock of shit

  • all im gonna say is this is classic liberalism

  • Shut up and teach!

  • yet another sinkhole for taxpayers to throw their money into

  • @justluckdude They've taken over education, healthcare, banking, energy, transportation, emergency relief...people need to realize that government is too big. They really do, before it's too late.

  • more of the same is to blame

  • there's no freedom in America anymore!

  • anyone else notice how suspicious it is that government is so keen on pushing children into their schools/indoctrination centers as soon as possible.

    soon it will be that they are raised from the moment they are born.

  • No sense in teaching higher education to poor pre-schoolers when any education from there on will be inadequate in sustaining what they were taught when they were 4. With all the budget cuts it will be a miracle if public schools are even around in the next 10 yrs. Thing is home schoolers are expected to teach from the gov. education guidelines, which in themselves are inadequate to living and working in the twenty-first century. Why start em out smart when ya just want to keep em stupid?

  • Let me get this strait

    PreK leads to aggression...the high quality programs are better... government programs are never better...PreK will lead to better academic achievement... it hasn't...Pre K must be looked at not in acedemic performance but social and non cognitive behavior...Pre K leads to aggression

  • Every statist is an advocate of government schooling.

    Adolf Hitler:

    "Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction."

  • Social conditioning, that's what it's about. The public schools of America are nothing more than concentration camps for the mind. If the government can destroy our ability to reason, and to think conceptually, we are at the mercy of any idealistic, utopian demagogue who would seek to destroy the last remnants of freedom still left in the world.

  • If you know how to read, wright, and do math just leave school now.

    I left school at 8th grade.

    Just so you know I'm not homless, in fact I own several businesses and several rental properties. Any one can do this you just need to apply your self and WORK!

    Sorry to piss of so many public school teachers but your not realy needed. If your a good teacher I'm sure a private school will seek you out.

  • I have an idea...do away with high school. It is pretty much busy work anyway. That will open up a lot of money.

  • The part at 5:29 gets me everytime. Spot on.

  • Without a doubt, public school teachers and administrators are saddled with the most idiotic Federal regulations known to man and I don't mean NCLB. Without a doubt public school students are saddled with some of the worst union tenured teachers known to man. Bring back the old despotic, tyrannical Catholic school nuns of the 1950's. You will learn-academics, manners, morals and more. You may not have a huge ego when they are through with you but by God you will have learned.

  • Democrats = "Lets spend money to fix the economy!"

    Republicans = "Cut the taxes and lets put some programs in place to fix the economy"

    Libertarian = "Cut taxes, stay the hell out of the way. Capitalism has a way to fix itself without any help."

    Libertarian ftw! (Althought Libertarians would probably agree with just abolishing taxes :P)

  • "Althought Libertarians would probably agree with just abolishing taxes :P"

    Fuck yea! Good bye income tax: the second most evil tax.

  • Yep. Though I think certain small ones are alright for the whole "general welfare" thing, and I think general means GENERAL, no special interest.

    Private charity deals with helping people SO much better than public. Private charity workers want to do well to have a good charity, and they're doing charity because they WANT to help people. Government workers in the welfare department have no incentive to help people.

  • education is the parents job not the governments

  • as someone that doesn't have children and most likely won't, why the F*#K should i have to pay for this crap!

  • Exploiting little children for commercials!

  • o Israel has killed Americans (eg. Sailors on USS Liberty, Rachel Corrie, etc...)

    o Israel spies on this country.

    o Israel blackmails our corrupt politicians.

    o Israel steals our taxes.

    o Israel uses our country as their toilet.

    For more info, click my UsedID then browse my informative Israel playlist.

    Please distribute this post and tell your Senator and/or Representative about Israel's killing Americans, heinous crimes, stealing our taxes, and its spying on USA. Peace!

  • Today's universal pre-K is the spawning ground for tomorrow's "American Jugend."

    If you don't know what that means, go look it up.

    Then ask yourself why your public school didn't tell you about this, given 13 years's worth of chances . . .

  • It's good to know many politicians don't send their kids to public schools.

  • 5:38 "this time" socialism will work

  • i love how stossel investigates every claim that these stupid people make, and immediately refutes it

  • ill never send my kids to public school

  • I don't think its the fact that Pre-K is not working. The FACT is that public schools are Failing!!!! They are Dumbing our children down!! If I had the money My Kids would go to a Private school!! The Public School SYSTEM is not working,

  • All these vids are true 5/5

  • The preschools receiving government funds no longer need to be competitive due to the enormous sum of money they receive per child. We either become even more superior hoping to convince parents to pay for preschool, and hope to survive. Or we lower the quality of our preschools to meet government requirements and no longer produce children who have a quality education. Yes, it would be easier for Levi to accept government funds, but it seems to me: She cares too much for that.

  • I am the Director of a preschool. The same people who can't teach our children in public school make and require the rules for any program who will be giving pre-k. Levi is right: our private preschools are far superior to the government preschools. Our children are actually learning. If we want to keep using our learning methods we can't accept government funds: we can't give free Pre-K. If we don't give free Pre-K we must now compete with a free product in the market.

  • "If we don't give free Pre-K we must now compete with a free product in the market. "

    Excellent point - the Government does not play fair, when it steals from all at gunpoint (what we call "Taxation") to fund these "free" schools that compete with more than competent private institutions. Oh, and leftists and fascists will say with all the gall they can muster: "The market clearly failed to educate our children!".

  • Obama's an instrument.

    He's just like the other politicians- disconnected with the public yet claims otherwise. Completely ignorant of the materials learned in US schools Obama presses that we need more (of the same).

    There's never any consulting with parents and children regarding education. Just viewing statistics then guessing the answers.

  • Great, indoctorinate kids right as soon as they're out of diapers.

  • See George Carlin's Youtube video on Education - he explained in simple, truthful terms why education will never, ever be any better in the USA.

    The government just wants to start brainwashing kids at an even earlier age. Worthless. The government wants non-thinking parrots and followers. Salute the flag, say your pledge and conform.

  • Comment removed

  • public education is bullsh*t all around.

    check out

    The Deliberate dumbing down of America

  • THANK YOU!!!

    I agree with EVERY word!

  • What the ....! Put your children in the wheel! A child should be with his parents not in a freaking kindergarden all the time.

  • Why is it fair for me to be forced to pay for everyone's education?

  • "Why is it fair for me to be forced to pay for everyone's education? "

    Oh, because "education" is a right! Haven't you heard?

    The fact is, education is a persona effort - nobody can be educated if the person does not want to. Nobody has a right to a service because that service must be provided willingly - otherwise, if education was TRULY a right, the educator would have to be enslaved to provide us with what we're entitled to. Since this is NOT the case, it cannot be a right.

  • I consider every day I spent in public school as an unconscionable interruption of my education, and a boring waste of my youth. Public schools were much better then. (I'm 62.) Typical of government, if an institution is failing miserably, the answer is to give it more money. Bull. ABOLISH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION!

  • I agree sir, and im 20. The years ive spent in school (was public) were just a waste of time, im considered a smart guy and sucessful, and i owe it to what ive learned on my own, on the internet mainly.

  • Yep, a thirst for knowledge is the most important aspect of one's education.

  • Indeed, there are much better things to learn or do during the High School years. A person can learn a TRADE, a TECHNICAL degree of whatever (electrician, machinist, plumbing, nursing, electronics) instead of spending endless hours being indoctrinated by a unionized hack.

  • Exactly, i am currently looking into the things you just mentioned ¨(electrician, machinist, plumbing, nursing, electronics)¨ to get some extra knowledge and know how. Would of loved them teach me that in school...

  • government funded but you pay outrageous taxes, yeah totally government funded

  • take the government completely out of the education equation, we spend more money on our education then every other country other then Switzerland and yet at the same time we have more dropouts and failures then anyone you would think it's the other way around

  • the american government scares the shiit out of me....

  • "When I see videos with John Stossel I'm reminded of the story Jesus told about THE GOOD SAMARITAN."

    Dillon, the parable of the Good Samaritan did not mean doing good with stolen (i.e Taxed) money. It was meant to show tolerance and respect for different people. The Samaritans were the discriminated people in times of Christ, so the parable was to show that one can expect good from even the most discriminated lot. You totally missed the point of the parable.

  • Let's see, the feds have completely turned our K-12 public schools into derelict hotels and now they want to totally finish the job!!

  • In reality, this scam is not so much to "invest" in education for our kids - it is to increase the job postings for the unionized teachers. That's all. It matters little to these bureau-rats that K-12 education is in the dumps, the important thing is to keep the Teacher's Unions happy. It is INDEED about the MONEY - STOLEN MONEY, as in TAXED money.

  • yeah agreed, they just want people to to be employed regardless of whether or not the quality of the final product is good or not and they just want money, free edu but you pay outrageous taxes totally free yeah....righ

  • Stossel is an idiot. Yeah, there are these subsidies and help with pre-school, but good luck getting in to them. They have YEARS long waiting lists. With people paying $500 and $600 a month on preschool few can afford it. Then people bitch about why no one can save money. For the ones that can afford it, put your kids in a private preschool.

  • "With people paying $500 and $600 a month on preschool few can afford it."

    I don't know where YOU take your kids for pre-school, but where I used to live, private pre-school is dirt cheap, thanks to very entrepreneurial teachers that set up shop in their homes, low regulatory impositions, good quality education. Where I used to live? Mexico, where the Gov. does not try to make everyone open a school that looks like a shopping mall.

  • Uh, am I supposed to move to Mexico??? If Mexico is so F&^%$ great, why the hell are all the Mexicans moving here????????

  • "Uh, am I supposed to move to Mexico?"

    No, you're supposed to write your representative to have the regulations REPEALED, so that ordinary folks can open a school in whatever manner they want and whatever manner the market will allow. Instead, your Dept. of Education expects a "school" to look like a shopping mall - that is VERY expensive to implement. That's what I'm saying, not that y'all move to Mexico.

  • typical libtard. you cant prove anything he said is wrong, so you bring up the class warfare card. How about you call him a racist next?

  • I wouldn't send my kid to pre-school even if I were rich as Croesus. Yet another year in the brainwashing center? No thanks.

  • govt funded pre k

    every libs dream

    indoctrinate your kids from diapers to college!

  • "So is pre-school only suppose to be for the wealthy?"

    This is a bad argument - that not wanting universal pre-K must mean one wants it only for wealthy people. Actually, getting rid of the taxes that feed the awful public school systems would give back to each family more than enough to send their kids to private school. YES, public schools are THAT expensive! There's no free lunch.

  • If we really wanted to watch education flourish in this country, we need government completely out of all the schools...then sit back and watch the free-market operate...I bet, with the technology we have today...we could have VERY high quality schools at much more affordable rates...but noooo you would rather have private schools "compete" against a gov monopoly that pretty much sets the "educational guidelines" for the private schools as well

  • gladiator1010, it is much worse than you think: opening a new private school is such an expensive affair due to the rigorous regulations and expenditures it has to undergo, as imposed by local and federal authorities. The public school system gets the added benefit of a PROTECTED market. In order for better schools to appear, onerous regulations have to disappear. Let people open a school in a house if that helps, but why make people build huge, expensive buildings just to teach?

  • Great point...these regulations in every aspect of life is what is oppressing the creative energy in our society. If we got rid of them...imagine how far we could go...our children could create an amazing world if we gave them half a chance...but no, they are lucky to get out of middle school and not be 200 lbs from bad school diets and barely literate...do people really care about kids? I don't really know anymore

  • "So is pre-school only suppose to be for the wealthy?" Are you kidding? Why stop at pre-school? We should have free nursery school for all as well. Poor 1 year olds are entitled to the same quality education as the Gates of the world. oh wait, there kids are at home with their mother. NEVERMIND.

  • I think we should only allow Jewish pre schools. This way, Stossell's kids are covered. Then they can grow up and be another John Stossell or maybe even better like an Eric Cantor.

  • do you guys know how much money is being spent on this? We're also spending $1 billion on baby education in the stimulus ON TOP of the preschool The lady in the red dress is right, this is a serious waste of money. In K-12, parents are ultimately responsible for kids learning. I went to preschool, it doesn't do that much. it's really a babysitter.

  • 'If you give us control'

    Fuck you lady. The last thing after you cant get headstart and K12 right you need is more control.

    She shoud run for office. She has the right attitude for it.

  • "John Stossel is one greedy bastard! "

    Yes! And I am one, too!

  • The GOV is taking over people one thing at a time!!

  • Pre K just for the wealthy?  Dont be such babies and whiners. Get off your asses to do what you can to put "your" and i emphasize "YOUR" child through good schooling. GOd you actually believe the government can "choose" for you? SHEEP

  • So is pre-school only suppose to be for the wealthy?  I think not.

  • Poverty mentality alert

  • oh oh...republikkkan alert

  • I'm guessing that you will not be satisfied until we pay 95% taxes for welfarism we cannot afford in this country.

    Is there any limit to how much you "need" to "forcefully take" from others?

    I know misery loves company, but this is getting out of control...show me how this is not a complete violation of the economic rights of others

  • Oh Oh . . .  Statism alert!

  • Oh no...Reaganomics alert....lol....we know how that worked out.

  • The rich got richer and poor got poor...got a love those republikkkans.

  • we will all be poor by the end of Obama's first term.

    Best of luck

    Bitter Republikkan member

  • 25 million jobs after his 8 years in office. Sounds like change I could believe in.

  • nicke it is change since those jobs were minimum wage jobs....$7.25. WTF?

    You lost the election because AMERICAN workers cannot not live on those wages.

    STFU dipshit....welcome to OUR AMERICA.

  • your america? i thought he was my president too? or is he only my president if i demand he gives me free health care, free college education and a job?

    fuck you people. you are the leeches of society, sucking off the tit of everyone that gets up in the morning and works for a living. You're america will come to and end in 2010. New Jersey is on the verge of electing a Republican governor. I think that should tell you something.

  • you understand what your saying private companies run stuff better as shown in part 2 of this , did you watch it or just this part. oh and about your KKK remark you know the republican party freed the slaves and passed the civil rights movement right. i think you just don't know you're history becaues the left is about racism (hittler being on the left)

  • "You lost the election because AMERICAN workers cannot not live on those wages."

    You say "American Workers" as if EVERYBODY was making only the Minimum Wage.

    Nobody "lost" the election - Il Duce [Obama] won because many Republicans and Independents were tired (with good reason) of Bush, and did not want the false-con McCain. Unfortunately, everybody was duped and Il Duce ended up being a social engineer and spendthrift. Just like LBJ. Or maybe like Nixon - he was even MORE liberal than LBJ.

  • We won because your DUMB ass voted for Bush. You cannot claim after 8 years that you have KNOWLEDGE.

    STFU...plz.

  • "We won because your DUMB ass voted for Bush."

    I cannot vote here, knucklehead. And I would not have voted for Bush even if I were able - but definitively, I would NOT have voted for Il Duce even with a gun pointed at my head.

  • If you cannot vote here...why is your ass commenting? Fucking foreigners...

  • I comment here because I am worried about a country that I admire very much, going down the slope towards fascism, first with Wilson, then Hoover, then FDR, later JFK, LBJ and Nixon, GHWB, Clinton, GWB and now, Il Duce.

  • I comment here because I don't want another fucking conservative leading out country. Enough with the Reaganomics, Bush doctrines and Ron Paul religious fanatics.

  • And who do you "think" should do the job?

  • Liberals...of course.

  • Liberals are the worst scum of people on this earth, and you want them to run the country? Just look at oblahma. It is pretty obvious that you get all of your information from the mass media, maybe you should try and do some research, instead of having everything spoon-fed to you. You are not American, you are a traitor to your country, and you go against everything our founding fathers stood for.

  • In the end, we all lose. The collapse of the dollar is coming, and once again government takes the blame. Stop living in a dream world. One day, very soon, you're going to realize that we were right, and you were wrong, but it'll be too late.

  • OH plz...you republican piece of shit. REALITY check....Your dumb conservative ass voted based on your religion and voted for BUSH.

    STFU....America will SURVIVE without your fanatic beliefs.

  • nzin, how do you know how he voted and why?

  • I can smell his republikkkan stench from my pc....he smells of sulfur.

  • Please don't breed you tribalist sack of shit. What he's saying isn't a Republican stance. Bush fucked up the government, so is attacking what the government did then Republican too?

    I criticize the government and I'm a libertarian.

    And even so, Democrats voted for Obama and he's fucking Bush on steroids.

  • Please keep your trailer trash opinion to a minimum. You can try and re-package your Republikkkan beliefs and give yourselves a new label such as "Libertarian" but no one is buying it.

    You are probably one of those morons that voted for Bush twice...fuck off.

  • I'm not a republican.I'm a libertarian market anarchist, fucktard.

    Libertarians oppose the Republicans.

    I'M A FUCKING CANADIAN and Bush is a socialist, so I would never vote for him, nor would I vote for either of the two parties because they're fascistic. I'm not a slave unlike you: the uneducated hick who doesn't know what "libertarian" means;ho doesn't know what democracy, or the vote system are. You call a Canadian trailer trash, while you sound like you've never read a book in your life.

  • Blah Blah Blah...give us a break you undercover Republikkkan. Anyway...who cares what your foreign ass thinks. Yawn stupid bitch.

  • Oh my god... it's the mentality of people like you that causes great famines, religious/dogmatic wars and totalitarian governments. You're such a sheep. And I don't vote on moral grounds. Apparently you don't know what "anarchist" means.

    Fucking statist... you voted for Bush just as much as the Republicans.

  • You are fucking annoying.

    You call the us govt socialist and fascist and totalitarian. They are not interchangeable hyperboles.

    Also, funny you mentioned sheep. You seem to be waaayy too personally attached to your political views. You want to give yourself a label so badly to define yourself. That's why being called a republican gets you so worked up.

  • Well, if I called you a Nazi and meant it, wouldn't that piss you off?

    You can be totalitarian, fascistic and socialist at the same time. Since you seem to be ignorant of the definitions, I'm guessing you haven't completed elementary school. Nazi Germany was all three. It's fact, not hyperbole. Using eminent domain to force people out of their homes for the "public welfare" of erecting an Ikea can be attributed to more than one ideology, and it actually happened. Try giving a shit for once.

  • Godwin's Law FTW!

  • Hitler's Germany is an apt comparison. Godwin's Law is used on someone whose argument is vapid and uses a Hitler reference as an ad hominem or some sort of appeal (to emotion, etc) in an attempt to salvage their fail argument.

  • Liberals will always invoke the ghost of George Bush everytime to discredit their opponents. They'll associate free market and libertarian as "Republican" or derived from "George Bush" because mindless drones will eat it up.

    Libertarians are indeed compatible with SOME small government Republicans servatives (the governator not one of them), so naturally libs will misrepresent their partnership.

  • What do you mean "We won"?

  • Who lost? Now you know who won....

  • "I comment here because I don't want another fucking conservative leading out country. "

    Sir, there hasn't been a conservative leading the country since Coolidge! You're dreaming. Even Nixon was more liberal than LBJ, and that's saying a LOT. GWB was NOT a conservative - he may have fancied himself a conservative, but he was no more than a Big Government fascist. And now, you have ANOTHER fascist, an ever bigger one, in the seat.

  • Oh please...don't try to re-write your conservative history. You never complained when GWB labeled himself conservative. YOU cannot complain after he failed.

    I am happy that republikkkans are lost....GWB was a conservative fascist. America voted RIGHT and eliminated fanatics.

  • That woman advocating "social development" is basically talking about indoctrination to obedience. FUCK HER.

    -jcr

  • Finally some fucking truth on TV; CAN I GET AN AMEN?!

  • Do you want GOOD education or FREE education?

    You can't have both people.

  • You are correct cos nobody needs both. People who are going to suceede would excel in semi good/cheap education. And the rest should drop and for manual laboring/vocational school.

    The constitution says nothing about educating everybody, dont waste the limited resources we have by spreading it amoung everyone, conc it on the talented ones.

  • "The constitution says nothing about educating everybody, "

    Best point made, but see how some liberals and fascists will retort with something like "The Constitution is obsolete", or "It was ratified by white men", or "It is a 'living document' so it should be 'interpreted' to fit the times" (which would make the Constitution meaningless if "interpreted").

    Indeed, the Constitution doesn'T give authority to the FedGov to educate everybody, even less to make it COMPULSORY (i.e. Slavery)

  • teachers unions robbing you via the kings court

  • Welcome to the government school. Every child must join the Hitler Youth, er um, I mean the Universal Pre-K program.

    Quality education = government defined programs and curriculum. Yeah, right.

  • That's bullshit in an out of itself. What's good education? Governemntal standards, our country is full of driveling fools and so is our school system. Provide some proof against the private system.  The private system is more diverse and makes our society better.

  • i went to both a private one and a public one when i was little. the public one was decent, but the private one was far superior. the private one even had foreign language instructors and fine arts, music teachers at preschool because they thought it's better if children start learning these at a younger age. the public school didn't provide any of those programs.

  • Yes...the private school was much better (as I can attest) but the true question is...what the fuck did they teach us...either one? It was the subsequent attention to personal education that brought me out from under their propaganda umbrella into the light of knowledge and understanding...an understanding that so much of what you "know" is bullshit. My kid is now out of the clutches of this warehouse system and is home-schooled. I'll be damned if they'll get their meat hooks into him again.

  • so i'm not sure why you think this video is stupid, in theory nothing it says is wrong, and i even have personal experience to correlate how those theories translate into real world. i laughed a little at your resolute proclamation when it speaks so little about the reality, sorry if that offends you.

  • I like how you say "Theres no way private companys can provide a good cheap education the way some govt does,"

    With emphasis on the SOME. So even you, who opposes Private Schools admit not all public Schools are good or even Okay.

  • No child left behind x 1000

  • her argument about government funded prek kids get a better education and are smarter fails, so she points to something absurd like emotions....stupid cunt

  • Public schools blow! I should know, I've been through the system. You can learn more at a Barnes and Nobles than you can in a high school room. The only class I give credit to are the math classes. Well, half of them anyway. LOL.

  • Many people are fooled into believing a paid government employee is going to greater love, better educate, and care more about their children's well-being. Look at the disaster in K-12 education! We choose to homeschool all four of our children and it is a huge blessing to the entire family. Bigger government is stealing more of our money to further weaken the famililes in this country. Parents, step up to the plate and be a parent. You CAN do it!
