If that was the case maybe the situation would be better, but there's a lot of information that's behind massive paywalls for the public, but "freely" accessible to students and scholars
Even though it's not free, they get subsidized
yeah thats true. but you can get info that's not on pay walls
Yeah but none of the good stuff, because they want to maintain their monopoly on knowledge
i think it's just better education methods rather than knowledge
What makes their education methods good in any way? Most students have an extremely low retention rate into their adult years.
That statement should be "if you dont practice you forget"
It's not that simple. Teachers are trained in very poor quality education methods, like lecturing.
Yet they get paid ungodly amounts for that low quality effort.
And that by tax money, not by private donors or consumers.
Yeah i don't disagree with you there. You'll be called a racist for saying that xD
Yeah I guess in the US that'd be the case, fortunately I'm Austrian.
even private schools.. they they aint private. Anything that gets goverment funding directly isn't private
Yeah
There are even worse cases of private schools for migrant children where they don't even have to teach the national curriculum while receiving subsidization, it's messed up.
My dad used to teach at one of those.
There's really only one solution, people must create a database of general knowledge and recent scientific papers.
Like wiki, but for profit, and without any state subsidization.
They must also create a student-teacher network around that platform.
there should be multiple of them to force competition
The problem is, however, that public schools drive the prices of those private organizations up.
So I don't know what the solution is tbh.
it's like that in every thing tho. even in health care. food
everything that the goverment touches. kinda weird. I've spoke about this with the both of you before and you both disagreed with me. Don't know why you changed your mind
Maybe you're mistaking me for someone else? I've been against public education for years.
i think the solution would be 2 steps. stop making school attendance mandatory. and then cut all funding to every school. it will be hell for the first few years but it will get better
there are better ways. but that's just the quickest one
They'll never do any of that, it'd be a career killer for the vast majority of politicians.
Sorry guys, have you two discussed **opportunity cost**, yet?
In what context?
Looong formation time and lack of practical experience vs Homeschooling
Pardon?
I'm not following, sorry
me either
So a child that can read and is mature emotionally can study higher stuff
Start and finish school sooner
Any better?
school shouldn't be a place to become emotionally mature. that should be at home
I can follow now. What's your argument?
Yes, true
