I truly do not understand how anyone can dislike this Ron Paul video or really any other of his videos. He speaks real common sense and absolutely ZERO bullshit. I feel it's peoples pride and ego that keeps them from actually listening. Happened to me in 2008 and am ashamed of it.
Dr. Ron Paul in 2012!!

true, very true

Anyways, its all irrelevant since Ron Paul never had a shot at being elected...
-
if that's what you believe then send your kids to school, nobodys saying you have to or should. i still like the idea of a free market school system (tax backed voucher system), which was another thing ron paul supported.. but anyways this conversation's really going nowhere and starting to get rather old
-
Thats still better than being in class with just your mother/father all day long.

well maybe two years ago, where i live anyways, there was a huge push to limit recess and try to eliminate music class.. recess isnt required by law here. and there arent any school sponsored sports or clubs for elementary school here and for middle school there's only basketball. even at lunch the kids are put in alphabetical order by grade. and the kids are still kept with their classmates in all of the extra classes- PE, music, and art (im talking about grades k-8)..
-
They are not trapped in a classroom all day, there are tech ed class, phys ed and recess that is required by law and in no way are they even trying to get rid of those (if anything, they want more of it). Then the school clubs and sports programs allow them to interact with older kids which are more available to kids in schools. Its not healthy for a kid to be only interacting with their parents everyday, they wont develop necessary social skills.
-
there are homeschool organizations where the kids go to interact with other kids but once again.. im not saying its the only option for better education, im just saying in the system we have now, the parents and the children have no choice in what they learn/are taught unless they can afford private school or homeschool.. ron paul wasnt suggesting we all homeschool, he was suggesting we take the government monopoly out of education (maybe a voucher system, taxes pay for the school you choose).
-
yeah but they're trapped in a classroom all day (unless the school decides to allow recess, which many are trying to eliminate) with kids of their own age.. they hardly ever get to actually interact with the older kids... and the education is mediocre unless you happen to live in a good district..
but yeah, its not the best option for many because for one the parents cant be there all the time or take them out to other places (like i mentioned sports etc) i'm running out of characters again
-
What? You immediately interact with older kids, I doubt there are many schools with a 1st grade that doesnt have a 2nd.
Most parents are unqualified, not to mention that the environment that large schools provide expose kids to the real world. Having a child cooped up in a house with mommy or daddy all day is just odd and in most cases not healthy. Home schooling should only be for certain kids that cant handle normal schools.
The difference between Ron Paul and the rest of these candidates is that they are politicians and Ron Paul is a public servant.
