If the Khan Academy was implemented in schools, the results would be drastic in a positive way. More people need to look at the way that system works. I'm not convinced that more money is the solution to the education problem. From Cato.org, the average public school costs $3,000 more than private school per student. I would also guess that countries like India and China also pay much less per student, yet their education system seems to be much better.
@pipkguitar The system is flawed, but it's not the biggest problem; its the home. Some students, and parents treat schools like a holding pen instead of an institute of learning. It is these student who disrupt class, slow down the teachers lesson, and overall slow down the learning process. China and India are better because, they are always bearing down over their kids to make sure they are doing well in school. In china with grades, there is no reward for success, just punishment for failure.

We have to REFORM our public school system. Students need to have good, effective schools -- not underfunded mandates to take tests. We need better ways of doing it...better methods, better ways of handling the budget. Obama is headed in the right direction. Conservatives always want to WIPE OUT a program or service...after they mess it up.
This education reform is all a lot of hocus pocus.
I compare it to all of the dumb, big brother tactics being used to try and get fat, bloated, piggish, Ameritards to pry the junk food out of their mouths. Fatasses know what they need to do to lose weight, they just are too undisciplined and pathetic to do it, they do not need big brother to hold their hands.
It is the same way with the Idiotic kids we call students and their parents . They do not care about learing, plain and simple.
I hate to say it, but, here it goes. I do not think all of the money in the world is going to make the USA's low achieving students improve very much if any. Programs, money, new dumbed down teaching techniques will all come up as failures, BECAUSE, it is not getting to the root of the problem. 90% of the problem lies with the PARENTS AND STUDENTS! The parents do not work with the kids and they don't instill in them the love of learning, thus, the kids see no value in trying in school= dummies.
I am glad to see Obama taking steps to improve our schools. We do need better methods, better supplies, and improvements in most areas. Most of the complaints about spending money on education come from the right wingers who did not make a peep when Bush was spending money like a drunken sailor in that unjust IRAQ WAR. Those wars lead us to this horrible deficit situation and the DE-REG of the Wall St. Gang -- put us in the hole. But -- never mind taking care of our YOUTH??????
Last I checked Obama was ending even more troops to the middle east. Also The entire Cost of the Iraq war doesn't even equal the amount Obama has already spent in his 1st year in office and Pails in comparison to the amount he plans to spend in the nest eight years. Funding is the Last thing that needs to be added to an education reform plan. 1st corruption and incompetence needs to be weeded out. Second Standardized curriculum itself needs to be reformed.
(Continued) It doesn't take a lot of fancy equipment or complicated books to learn how to read at a competent level. My Grandfather (a dirt poor immigrant from Norway) only had 3 years of school but could read Shakespeare like a scholar and speak like a poet. Yet studies have shown that many High school graduates today can barely read their own high school diploma. Much of the problems in education are the inability to teach children competent reading skills. Just make the students read more.
I am an educator and I know how to teach people to read. I have done it. I was not paid well. So if the public thinks that they can continue with this rinky dink system -- they are fooled. GOOD TEACHERS are leaving. They can make more money writing books or selling products. It is a matter of money too. Only in America do we rank the importance of GOOD SCHOOLS at the bottom, under military, under sports...and almost everything.
@4edutainment the iraq war was a waste of money; therefore, spending money on education won't be?
people people people. the government cannot do ANYTHING efficiently. stop fighting with eachother over who has the better ideas for what to do with stolen dollars. let's fight our real enemy: the thieves, aka government.
gimme a free market and i'll start a GREAT school in the hopes of becoming RICH.
@jalexander3 -- WARS are the reason our nation has such huge deficits. Conservatives love to fight expensive, senseless wars. Your comparison of "War spending" with "Education spending" is ridiculous ! You sound like a CONSERVATIVE...wanting to wipe out schools and programs after the Republicans mess them up or neglect them to death.
@jalexander3 - I do not believe from what you say that you have 2 clues about what it would take to run a school. TEACHING is a PROFESSIONAL art... like being a MED. DOC., ENGINEER, or ATTORNEY or other similar jobs. Schools should be run like your local POOL ROOM -- or some venture to just earn money. Obama is on the right track -- doing a much better job than the REPUBLICANS ever did -- all these years.
@4edutainment -- CORRECTION -- SCHOOLS SHOULD NOT BE LIKE A POOL ROOM....OR MLM DEAL OR ANY OF THAT so -called "free market" mess. However, if anyone wants to open a school -- they can. There are ways to do it...and if you want to open a school -- the Gov't does not stop you.
@4edutainment exactly, and those professions are best utilized in the context of a free market where competition, entrepreneurship and innovation drive progress. education is not a special case. it does not defy the laws of economics. the most efficient, innovative and high quality education would only come from the free market itself.
your assumption that i am a republican supporter based on the fact that i am anti-democrat is purely an assumption. believe me, i am not among the naive.
@jalexander3 -- WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND IN EDUCATION OR TRAINING?
THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP YOU OR OTHERS TO START SUCH QUALITY SCHOOLS NOW...since you think that the "free market" will solve all problems. I simply do not believe that...nor do I believe that Gov't has ALL ANSWERS. Your notes here on Youtube sound like a Libertarian or Republican -- with so much on "free market"-- as if to say that the Fed. Gov't has prevented people from starting private schools.
@jalexander3 -- I was responding to your messages to me -- that "all you need is the free market" to improve our schools. When you say that -- you must have some evidence of it -- some example of how it would work. Yes, it can be done. Have you started a school or training program? I know people who have started schools. I would listen to them before listening to some wild claims that have no basis.
@4edutainment not "listening" to me over your other acquaintances is a strawman. well done.
the point is a free market in education does not exist. you seem to think it does, and that government has done nothing to stifle it. that is a bold claim.
a demonstration as to how a market education system would work should not be restricted to examples of market education. for one, there are no examples to draw on. more importantly, the market works the same from one industry to the next.
@jalexander3 -- YOU TALK NONSENSE. You have not told me what background you have to make these ridiculous claims. There are numerous "private" schools and colleges -- ranging from religious ones to just plain ONE OWNER academies. That is the PRIVATE FREE MARKET. The Gov't has not stopped these people from starting their own schools. There are some regulations and standards, but no laws that prevent people from opening private schools. In fact, HOME SCHOOLING is also OK.
@4edutainment the fact that private schools can be opened doesn't prove that there is a free market education system. most private schools can only cater to the wealthy, this is a result of the market distortion caused by government interference (in numerous ways).
if economics is beyond you then just say so and we can end this conversation.
i am not sure what my background has to do with economic fundamentals. it is not a subjective science that changes based on the individual professing it.
@jalexander3 -- I was only responding to you because you are doing nothing but making unproven, baseless wild claims. You stated that the Gov't gets in the way of a "free market" education system. I say -- THAT IS NOT TRUE and you have not shown any proof of it. And as of now -- you have not shown you have a background in Education or much else -- except that you are some kind of Political Conservative who makes wild claims about issue you don't know much about !!!
@4edutainment fair enough. i simply assumed we took it as a given that govt gets in the way of free market education. that is my fault.
let's start slow. would you agree that the very existence of public education interferes with the free market? regardless of whether or not you think that interference is justified, do you agree that the free market changes when government becomes a provider?
@jalexander3 -- No I do not agree with your claim. Government provides public schools because of laws. The problems in our public schools are primarly related to waste, lack of good methods, neglect, and poor management. Reasons for that are varied too. However, I do not believe that I have seen any proof that shows that our Government interferes with the establishment of PRIVATE SCHOOLS or similar. Again -- this was what I first reacted to when I replied to you.
@4edutainment The questions was not WHY there are public schools, or if government interferes with the private schools. Those require too big a leap that we are just not ready for.
The question is more basic than that in order to understand the economic fundamentals at play. Do the conditions in the marketplace for education change when government enters the scene and provides the service--at any capacity? The answer is self-evident, but you need to see that first.
@jalexander3 - You keep missing the point. I don't need to see anything that you are talking about...(as you say). PUBLIC SCHOOLS serve a certain purpose and are established by law for certain reasons. If anyone wants to provide schools outside of those purposes -- they can. It is not something that we should be viewing as "profitable" -- like selling PRODUCTS or exploiting the "oil market."
@4edutainment but why not? doesn't working for a profit only lead to a maximization of efficiency? you said yourself that there is too much waste in the public school system.
apart from that, you are clearly unwilling to understand just how govt interferes with the private education. i originally thought it absurd that someone would think this--so i was willing to walk you through.
but you resist.
so let's just say that economics does not interest you and leave it at that. fair?
@jalexander3 -- NO THAT IS NOT FAIR. I have told you several times that I am not interested in your RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA and views about "how the Gov't is no good"-- NOR AM I INTERESTED in discussing how to turn schools into profit machines for big corporations. Nor do I agree with Libertarians or Republicans on these issues. Stop twisting what I said and quit wasting time on these silly, unproven right wing ideas.
restructure the education system by modeling the education system similar to like the Rhodesian (Zimbabwe) school system.
Build schools similar to keep costs down. Encourage students to study more hours per week, in self study and self taught. More school hours dedicated to study time, and hands on education.
Obama will flush $636 Billion Dollars down the toilet on defense spending on 2 False-Flag or Artificially Created Wars and spend Nickles and Dimes on our own population. Obama is no different from Bush, both are String Puppets of the US Military Industrial Complex.
Seriously this man can't even talk to 6th graders without teleprompters. I completely understand the use of teleprompters for formal and Public speeches, but, HE IS TALKING TO CHILDREN. He is talking to children and yet he's just giving a campaign speech. He doesn't even look at the kids when he speaks he just keeps staring at those damn teleprompters
This is like watching A remake of Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. Remember when we tuned in every week too Watch Gomer screwup. But always had Seargent Carter too set him straight again.
You people are pathetic, and are the reason why the education system has failed (or are a result of it). Can't even watch a video without pissing everyone off about how he's giving his speech, not on his message. Not that you'd even understand what he's saying; only how he's saying it. Way to scapegoat your own ignorance.
Need we discuss the classic "Bush Gaffes?" I'll spare you that embarrassment.
I think my eyeballs have whiplash now! (Back and forth, back and forth)... Left, Right, Left, Right... Company halt! I wonder what happens if the power goes out? Duh, Umm, Duh, Good evening, I think I need to visit the 52 state of the United States now... duh, ummm, duh... Left, right, left, right.
We don't need the power to go out to know. Haven't you seen the videos of what a bumbling idiot he is when he doesn't words to read? Search for the "uh" videos, or when the teleprompter malfunctioned when he was talking about a kid with asthma... he talked about giving the kid a breathylizer... even when correcting himself he called it an "inhilator"... He says he's been in 57 states, abortion questions are "above his pay grade", "spread the wealth", inflate your tires=energy crisis solved etc
Typical Liberal thinking throw money at the problem and maybe it will go away. Here's a way we can reform education. that WILL work. Look at how private schools teach and copy them. Not that hard they already have proven curriculum and much higher scores than public schools do, not only that but on average private school students perform much higher than public school students in college.
"I'm so foolish to believe in investing in our education system which has been underfunded for years. " The Top ten HIGHEST funded Public school systems in America perform LOWER than the Majority of Average funded school systems in America. Detroit Michigan's Public school system is MILLIONS above the national average yet they rank lower than Utah's Public school system that ranks at the bottom end of the average for funding.
How wonderful. I suppose by your logic that we should cut down the funding for these under performing schools. Its not only moronic but hypocritical to your original comment.
Did you ever take a moment to think that perhaps some schools have larger demands placed on them and require more funding than others? That perhaps even though they spend more than other schools in smaller districts with less demands that they might actually need more money to perform optimally?
you also conveniently avoided my question & I continue to wonder whether you went to pub. or private school.
Either should have given you the education to comprehend that Utah has pretty small demands & less people to educate than the avg state.
Also u should have been taught to compare state 2 state rather than city 2 state.
The reality is there are almost as many people in Detroit's metro area as the entire state of Utah. I wonder does Detroit a city get as much funds as Utah a state?
"Either should have given you the education to comprehend that Utah has pretty small demands & less people to educate than the avg state." Again you should have had the education to realize that Funding for public schools is calculated by SPENDING PER STUDENT. Utah spends far less PER STUDENT then Detroit. IN FACT Detroit spends on average 11.6 thousand dollars per student, that's almost 3 thousand higher than the national average and 4 thousand higher than Utah.
"so did you go to public or private school? " Where I went to school is completely irrelevant to this argument. This is an argument on how to reform the broken, Corrupt, and failing public educational system in America. It is you that keep avoiding My question as to How is MORE Money going to help failing schools that already receive Millions more per capita then the national average.
But since I know this irrelevant question won't go away until I answer it I'll tell you. I went to school on a US Military base in Stavanger Norway for 7 years. Finished my last 2 years of high school in Germany, All Public!
"Did you ever take a moment to think that perhaps some schools have larger demands placed on them and require more funding than others? Now I'm starting to wonder whether or not you graduated school. ALL Public school budgets are calculated by PERCAPITA Meaning They Average How much Money is spent PER STUDENT. And thew top ten highest funded schools spend more percapita on student yet still fail miserably. They are already FAR EXCEEDING "Demand" Per student yet Consistently fail.
Now you tell me How will throwing more money at this problem make any difference when they are already reviving more money per student than over 90% of the public schools in the country per capita? Liberals like yourself always scream about education reform but you never say exactly what about it you want to reform, so instead your solution is just to throw more money at the problem in hopes of making it go away.yet I already have a reform plan COPY HOW PRIVATE SCHOOLS TEACH!
you know how private schools teach moron? I'll break it down real simple like for you. With the extra money they have they limit the teacher:student ratio and make small class sizes the priority.
I would love to hear how you are going to make class sizes smaller without providing the funds to hire more teachers.
i would be suprised at this point if you ever even went to school.
I think we need a lot more than band-aid type fixes like this - Obama's interest in fixing it looks sincere and necessary, but much larger structural changes are needed. We need to expand the school year across the nation, we need to change how schools are funded, we need more of a tracked system (which "tier" a student belongs in in a subject), and we need a long-term commitment to invest more.
The *actual* reforms here are far too small to make a big difference.
Teaching Systems Thinking will help repair the damage done by the Reagan Era to the Education System.
When the system is designed to teach to a test, students can repeat the data fed to them. We need to foster Learning for Life, not just meeting the metrics. The results are clearly evident in politics and the Wackoloon show being put on by the "Values" Voters and friends.
Mr President, you are aware that the U.S. is ranked 29th in science and 34th in mathematics on the PISA test of all OECD and non OECD countries right???
There is a long road ahead of you if you plan to change this...
Also, being that other federal programs have such guidelines, what must the schools teach in order to get this money? I am sure the Peoples Dept. Of Education has made this clear.
Barack Obama is very inspirational but people he isnt God he cant change the world by touching it its going to take time when G. Bush was President he didnt do shit but slurr on his speeches and vaca atleast Barack is doing something and that is helping the people! People r probably going to comment me back saying something Negative I really dont care this is something I believe in
Right, and that is why Billions of dollars goes to illegal wars and Millions goes to corporations, and Thousands goes to education.
He is claiming billions for education with stipulations they conform to change, my question is, what is the change? I doubt it is for the good of the children and parents.
@PhillyWargamer A unbiased organization did a study about Fox News. Their study showed that 89% of all of the news pertaining to Democrats, or President Obama, was either just plain false, or grossly exaggerated!!!!
LOL Obama can't even talk to grade school kids without a teleprompter. Now that is bad. Seems like Obama needs the $1.3 billion to learn what he is going to say before he says it.
1.3 billion from where? Federal gov't get out of education.Let parents raise their children. Duncan supports brainwashing kids into thinking gay behavior is normal and healthy.This is why my children will never go to public schools so long as the federal gov't is calling the shots. The dept of education needs to be done away with because it doesn't improve edu. & yet we keep throwing more money at them.Give the american people back their freedom & $ Barry Sotero.show us your birth certificate!
@thankssaintjoseph: You mean a housewife can teach anything from Chemistry and Math to French? As a foreigner, I am amazed home-schooling is even legal.
Remember how long, and the court battles, it took to see Al Franken seated in Minn. And for the same reasons, his opponents had political tools to overrule their constituents wishes.
Barney Fife...I mean Barney Frank will no doubt be doing all he can to postpone or negate this election victory.
Does the president really need a teleprompter in the classrom that is so small? Come on men.. read from the scripts.. I know president obama reads from the scipts.. when he makes important and serious speeches like the haiti relif effort..
I am done laughing at the EweTubers for the night, enjoy yourselves!
Systems Thinking needs to be taught in the Schools if we are ever to have any hope at all as Humanity. Knowledge is power, but never underestimate the power of a large group of stupid people, like the Tea-laban or Al Qracker. Be careful out there.
Schools now enjoy 4 times more money per student than they did in the 1960's. Have they gotten 4 times better? NO! Have mathe and reading skills improved? NO! Have Graduation rates improved? NO! Do you think that throwing more money at the problem will improve all of that? NO, but you might get a Christmas ooops I mean 'Holiday" Card from the Teachers Union!
@ tazru333 National Average Percentile Scores Subtest Homeschool vs. Public School Reading HS= 89 PS=50 Language HS= 84 PS= 50 Math HS=84 PS= 50 Science HS= 86 PS= 50 Social Studies HS= 84 PS= 50 Corea HS=88 PS= 50 Compositeb HS=86 PS=50 HS=Homeschool PS=Public school Now big mouth, bring it!

What are you trying to prove with the numbers? They do not properly indicate Learning. If you went to Sloan School of Business or studied Statistics at MIT you should know that. In that case, what are you trying to pull, myself and my colleagues would only laugh. Teaching to the Test is the major flaw in the use of such metrics without full understanding of the System..
Psalms109 8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. 10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. 11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. 12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. 13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation. pray for obama
wow I cant wait! Public school systems rock! My son is so eager to read words, maybe our books will start to have more than pictures in them! Maybe 8th grade does! IF you can read this , Thank a Teacher. If you cant, thank a Teachers Union (cause we all know where this money is going.....SEIU)
My answer to public school is; Get a good education, homeschool your children.
By homeschooling you will remove the inherent dangers of public school.
You will remove the children from political indoctrination. You teach the values which are important to you (not teachers unions). Homeschool is your constitutional right! Knowledge is power,
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Only if you're an unprepared parent could it possibly be worse than the inherent indoctrination your children will receive when others who have no incentive to educate your children are granted that privilege.
From your responses so far it is apparent your own education ended with the input of the Public School system. Not surprising you feel unable to educate others, you never received much of an education yourself.
@tazru333 since he/she/it has so little comprehension and did not see that my comment directly responded to incorrect perceptions tazru333 made in a previous comment.
ty, you just confirmed my assumption.
For your children's sake I hope you DON'T homeschool them. They deserve better.
And don't bother mr Phreud either. With 6 kids of, I assume varying ages, he has his hands full already.
Perhaps there is someone capable in your own neighborhood...
No, you simply talk out your bahookie, and make assumptions and declare awesomeness.
You clearly do not even have a clue as to what questions to ask.
How smart are you to post personal information on the Internet? I would never reveal information like what schools I attended, my profession, or location on You Tube of all places.
Do you really think it takes that long for an intelligent person to figure out who the EweTubers are? I do not spend nearly as much time on here as you two, and I spotted you very early on, just like "NookulerFreedom, etc.
Obama is not your typical, run-of-the-mill warped-minded politician. You can tell that whenever he speaks he's really passionate about bringing about change and trying to reform the country
That is what I mean. Of course I don't think Blacks and Latino's should be singled out, but he doesn't have to emphasize on those two groups especially when they are as 'important as any other student.' Anyway, I'm glad our President is actually taking education reform seriously.
He is not Black! .....Harry Reid already explained 'Obama is Light-Skinned with no negro-dialect'. ...read it for yourself , google - harry reid said Obama is a light skinned negro
As a foreigner,who has no link with the US Educational System,I am keen on saying that Obama's initiative of Race to the top sistem is a very proper way to see what schools are making performance in education.
Obama your a nut case! Why don't you race out of my country!
But wait a minute, does that mean your getting rid of the Bell Curve? The GOVERNMENT has dumbed down America... NOT the Teachers.. So get out of our Schools,, then get the hell out of our country you treasonous slime!

/\/O! Mr. Puppet, we wil NOT continue 'competitiveness' any longer as we move into a new-age of 'co-operation'' ... that does NOT include any of the current brainwashing from our schools & institutions(brainwashing-camps).. thank-you & good day! =)
No, i am not getting everything off of 1 website .. if you would kindly scroll down to the bottom of my channel page you would find the rest of the sites that i get my info from..
that is because many people 'choose' to be manipulated.. by not thinking on their own & letting governments religions & TVs do the 'thinking' for them... each person has a choice in how they will live their lives...
well... the very fact that they are still teaching us in schools that our current governments are good for us & have their best interest at heart to us is a lie just like the 9/11 lie & the ET cover-up... so get a grip!
O.K, ture, the governemnt doesn't always take our best interests at heart, but the idea that there brainwwashing our kids, created 9/11, and have aliens is a joke!1 Check yours

Hey, if he's qualified to evaluate teachers, he should be qualified to teach students! Or is he just another arm-chair quarterback?

We have to REFORM our public school system. Students need to have good, effective schools -- not underfunded mandates to take tests. We need better ways of doing it...better methods, better ways of handling the budget. Obama is headed in the right direction. Conservatives always want to WIPE OUT a program or service...after they mess it up.

I compare it to all of the dumb, big brother tactics being used to try and get fat, bloated, piggish, Ameritards to pry the junk food out of their mouths. Fatasses know what they need to do to lose weight, they just are too undisciplined and pathetic to do it, they do not need big brother to hold their hands.
It is the same way with the Idiotic kids we call students and their parents . They do not care about learing, plain and simple.

I am glad to see Obama taking steps to improve our schools. We do need better methods, better supplies, and improvements in most areas. Most of the complaints about spending money on education come from the right wingers who did not make a peep when Bush was spending money like a drunken sailor in that unjust IRAQ WAR. Those wars lead us to this horrible deficit situation and the DE-REG of the Wall St. Gang -- put us in the hole. But -- never mind taking care of our YOUTH??????

Last I checked Obama was ending even more troops to the middle east. Also The entire Cost of the Iraq war doesn't even equal the amount Obama has already spent in his 1st year in office and Pails in comparison to the amount he plans to spend in the nest eight years. Funding is the Last thing that needs to be added to an education reform plan. 1st corruption and incompetence needs to be weeded out. Second Standardized curriculum itself needs to be reformed.

(Continued) It doesn't take a lot of fancy equipment or complicated books to learn how to read at a competent level. My Grandfather (a dirt poor immigrant from Norway) only had 3 years of school but could read Shakespeare like a scholar and speak like a poet. Yet studies have shown that many High school graduates today can barely read their own high school diploma. Much of the problems in education are the inability to teach children competent reading skills. Just make the students read more.

I am an educator and I know how to teach people to read. I have done it. I was not paid well. So if the public thinks that they can continue with this rinky dink system -- they are fooled. GOOD TEACHERS are leaving. They can make more money writing books or selling products. It is a matter of money too.

@jalexander3 - I do not believe from what you say that you have 2 clues about what it would take to run a school. TEACHING is a PROFESSIONAL art... like being a MED.

@4edutainment -- CORRECTION -- SCHOOLS SHOULD NOT BE LIKE A POOL ROOM....OR MLM DEAL OR ANY OF THAT so -called "free market" mess. However, if anyone wants to open a school -- they can. There are ways to do it...and if you want to open a school -- the Gov't does not stop you.
4edutainment 1 year ago
@4edutainment exactly, and those professions are best utilized in the context of a free market where competition, entrepreneurship and innovation drive progress. education is not a special case. it does not defy the laws of economics. the most efficient, innovative and high quality education would only come from the free market itself.
your assumption that i am a republican supporter based on the fact that i am anti-democrat is purely an assumption. believe me, i am not among the naive.

@jalexander3 -- I was responding to your messages to me -- that "all you need is the free market" to improve our schools. When you say that -- you must have some evidence of it -- some example of how it would work. Yes, it can be done. Have you started a school or training program? I know people who have started schools. I would listen to them before listening to some wild claims that have no basis.
4edutainment 1 year ago
@4edutainment not "listening" to me over your other acquaintances is a strawman. well done.
the point is a free market in education does not exist. you seem to think it does, and that government has done nothing to stifle it. that is a bold claim.
a demonstration as to how a market education system would work should not be restricted to examples of market education. for one, there are no examples to draw on. more importantly, the market works the same from one industry to the next.
econ 101.
jalexander3 1 year ago
@jalexander3 -- YOU TALK NONSENSE. You have not told me what background you have to make these ridiculous claims. There are numerous "private" schools and colleges -- ranging from religious ones to just plain ONE OWNER academies. That is the PRIVATE FREE MARKET. The Gov't has not stopped these people from starting their own schools. There are some regulations and standards, but no laws that prevent people from opening private schools. In fact, HOME SCHOOLING is also OK.
4edutainment 1 year ago
@4edutainment the fact that private schools can be opened doesn't prove that there is a free market education system. most private schools can only cater to the wealthy, this is a result of the market distortion caused by government interference (in numerous ways).
if economics is beyond you then just say so and we can end this conversation.
i am not sure what my background has to do with economic fundamentals. it is not a subjective science that changes based on the individual professing it.
jalexander3 1 year ago
@jalexander3 -- I was only responding to you because you are doing nothing but making unproven, baseless wild claims. You stated that the Gov't gets in the way of a "free market" education system. I say -- THAT IS NOT TRUE and you have not shown any proof of it. And as of now -- you have not shown you have a background in Education or much else -- except that you are some kind of Political Conservative who makes wild claims about issue you don't know much about !!!
4edutainment 1 year ago
@4edutainment fair enough. i simply assumed we took it as a given that govt gets in the way of free market education. that is my fault.
let's start slow. would you agree that the very existence of public education interferes with the free market? regardless of whether or not you think that interference is justified, do you agree that the free market changes when government becomes a provider?
jalexander3 1 year ago
@jalexander3 -- No I do not agree with your claim. Government provides public schools because of laws. The problems in our public schools are primarly related to waste, lack of good methods, neglect, and poor management. Reasons for that are varied too. However, I do not believe that I have seen any proof that shows that our Government interferes with the establishment of PRIVATE SCHOOLS or similar. Again -- this was what I first reacted to when I replied to you.
4edutainment 1 year ago
@4edutainment The questions was not WHY there are public schools, or if government interferes with the private schools. Those require too big a leap that we are just not ready for.
The question is more basic than that in order to understand the economic fundamentals at play. Do the conditions in the marketplace for education change when government enters the scene and provides the service--at any capacity? The answer is self-evident, but you need to see that first.
jalexander3 1 year ago
@jalexander3 - You keep missing the point. I don't need to see anything that you are talking about...(as you say). PUBLIC SCHOOLS serve a certain purpose and are established by law for certain reasons. If anyone wants to provide schools outside of those purposes -- they can. It is not something that we should be viewing as "profitable" -- like selling PRODUCTS or exploiting the "oil market."
4edutainment 1 year ago
@4edutainment but why not? doesn't working for a profit only lead to a maximization of efficiency? you said yourself that there is too much waste in the public school system.
apart from that, you are clearly unwilling to understand just how govt interferes with the private education. i originally thought it absurd that someone would think this--so i was willing to walk you through.
but you resist.
so let's just say that economics does not interest you and leave it at that. fair?
jalexander3 1 year ago
@jalexander3 -- NO THAT IS NOT FAIR. I have told you several times that I am not interested in your RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA and views about "how the Gov't is no good"-- NOR AM I INTERESTED in discussing how to turn schools into profit machines for big corporations. Nor do I agree with Libertarians or Republicans on these issues. Stop twisting what I said and quit wasting time on these silly, unproven right wing ideas.

superjump01 2 years ago
How wonderful. I suppose by your logic that we should cut down the funding for these under performing schools. Its not only moronic but hypocritical to your original comment.
Did you ever take a moment to think that perhaps some schools have larger demands placed on them and require more funding than others? That perhaps even though they spend more than other schools in smaller districts with less demands that they might actually need more money to perform optimally?
daderone 2 years ago
you also conveniently avoided my question & I continue to wonder whether you went to pub. or private school.
Either should have given you the education to comprehend that Utah has pretty small demands & less people to educate than the avg state.
Also u should have been taught to compare state 2 state rather than city 2 state.
The reality is there are almost as many people in Detroit's metro area as the entire state of Utah. I wonder does Detroit a city get as much funds as Utah a state?
daderone 2 years ago
"Either should have given you the education to comprehend that Utah has pretty small demands & less people to educate than the avg state." Again you should have had the education to realize that Funding for public schools is calculated by SPENDING PER STUDENT. Utah spends far less PER STUDENT then Detroit.

That is what I mean. Of course I don't think Blacks and Latino's should be singled out, but he doesn't have to emphasize on those two groups especially when they are as 'important as any other student.' Anyway, I'm glad our President is actually taking education reform seriously.

indoctrinating the children again, huh, Obama? teaching them to read from a teleprompter and to be a puppet?

As a foreigner,who has no link with the US Educational System,I am keen on saying that Obama's initiative of Race to the top sistem is a very proper way to see what schools are making performance in education.

Then you're gullible.
This will turn out no different than Leave all the children behind under Bush. Also known as All your kids, Belong to Us

Awarding schools for doing better...sounds good.
But what about the schools in which won't change? What about their students?

you haven't presented any facts.
TheDcrat 2 years ago 4
it is a FACT that our schools are brainwashing us into a false slave-state-lala-land...
BabybooR33 2 years ago
Well everyone does percieve their own idea of reality, (i.e. good or bad) but we (as in everyone) have a hard conception of what is truely reality.

unfortunately 'they' do NOT teach 'reality' in schools/religions/TVs....
BabybooR33 2 years ago
so then where would people get it? themselves?
herndon5 2 years ago
yes .. indeed.. all true knowledge is contained within...
BabybooR33 2 years ago
I would've agreed with that however knowing that many individuals are misguided, for whatever reason, can lead to a less than favorable life.
Im saying that it can work for some of us but sadly not for all of us
herndon5 2 years ago
that is because many people 'choose' to be manipulated.. by not thinking on their own & letting governments religions & TVs do the 'thinking' for them... each person has a choice in how they will live their lives...
BabybooR33 2 years ago
where are you getting these 'facts?' Look, unless you can back off your beliefs, sit down and shut up.
TheDcrat 2 years ago
well... the very fact that they are still teaching us in schools that our current governments are good for us & have their best interest at heart to us is a lie just like the 9/11 lie & the ET cover-up... so get a grip!
BabybooR33 2 years ago
O.K, ture, the governemnt doesn't always take our best interests at heart, but the idea that there brainwwashing our kids, created 9/11, and have aliens is a joke!1 Check yours
