government monopolies are the worst, most inefficient and cruel of all. And its done under the false guise it being for the so called public good...sad....

"Parents have all kinds of choices when it comes to picking our kids food, their clothing, their toys, all sorts of things..."

Don't worry, the governement is working on ways to fix that problem to.

Unions seem to work like no child left behind does. You are only as good as the worst member, across the board. Teacher's unions and no child left behind end up leaving the entirety of America behind.

Funny : 3:40 "There is nothing in Belgium better than United States". Clearly, education is better in Belgium.

@PaxAtheista I would love for a state to go all private for about 10 years as a test to see the difference. I for one would move to that state just to allow my kids a proper education. Money has nothing to do with it. Look at the video private schools have the kids help clean, all cold lunches. Poor people could easily go to private schools if all school where private and the government instead of spending thousands per student as is now. Would help low income families.It would save

@PaxAtheista All this shit your saying is already happening. The USA has one of the worst educational systems in the civilized world. We push feeling good and how nice we should be while only 31% of high school students are at their math level. Its almost impossible to fire teachers due to unions. There is a reason why private schools outscore public in almost every section. The teachers are allowed to teach the proper way and if students don't want to learn they kick them out. cont

@PaxAtheista If all schools where privatized then the price would go down, the government would of course give each kid an allowance to go to what ever school they wanted that qualified. Thats how it would be better. Competition

@Surhotchaperchlorome Even though I agree with you. America is too far into its government help to do anything.

@dons123111 No I actually believe that you advocating child labor is absurd, I can't even call that a joke, are unions, any unions perfect? ... NO, but for a libertarian to be consistent in philosophy they would have to accept since it is not gov't's job to protect the worker the worker has the right to join groups for their own protection, you would understand if you weren't TParty which is libertarian only when convenient

[dons123111]

@419dman You actually beleive that Union School teachers can teach kids to be productive, that's a joke. The premise of Unions is egalatarin, a system that treats everyone the same and disregards talent or merit as anything but being unfair to others., Union Teachers are advanced in their profession, not by measuring success, but buy measuring time, what they bastardize and call tenure. The kids can't grow into mentally sound adults with these ideas holding them back.

@dons123111 your actually coming out in favor of child labor , truly amazing, it is not "imperative that a child improve the condition of his (own) life" it's imperative that a child be a child, to learn and grow, to become a productive member of society without hypocrites like you holding them down
