what about school choice?

Ok

You are forced to go somewhere from 5-18

Could be private or home

but regardless, the default is public education

and republicans don't want free school lunches, a fairly small expenditure

yeah i see your point now

You should not be able to force someone to go somewhere

and then not provide for them

imo

it is a bit fucked up, but i guess the logic is that you have to eat anyway, so eat at the school

Well the school should pay for it

if they're gonna force you to be there

It's a losing issue

Like how are you going to morally justify forcing a 5-18 to go somewhere for 8 hours and not feed them?

It's just an autistic stand against public spending

What if the kid decides to get extra food?

Imagine if you joined the army got deployed then they told you to get your own food on the battlefield

@Bagrat pretty much, and the army would be more justified in telling you to fuck off and die because you signed up

Kids never signed up for mandatory education

@Deleted User just limit to like 1200 kcal or something

I do believe in mandatory education but there does need to be some reform including the nutritional benefit of school lunches

I don't think education should be mandatory

Past the 6th grade level

to a certain extent no

4 hours a day is enough

If you really focus on important subjects

I prefer the German system in which at a certain point the school splits into 2 branches offering students the choice of pursuing practical workforce careers or greater educational pursuits

Yeah I've referenced that too

Privatize education

We have a massive issue with progressive credentialism

in the west

So from 5-18 we have 13 years, add a bachelors 17, add a masters 19, add a phd 21.

21 years wasted

the biggest flaw of western education is not the form of its accessibility but the quality of the content taught

Nothing takes 21 years to teach

that's fucking insane

Even 12 years is too much

Public education should really only be 6 years long

perhaps advanced medicine or forms of mathematics or science

Maths/English/a foreign language
