What is "an education"?
…..asked tallowood’
In reply, I offer tallowood’s own Posts:
Quote:Literature local or otherwise should be optional subject as it is irrelevant for majority of kids who grow to be adults.
Quote:And that is the problem. Local vs global is just a jockeys elbowing for attention and money allocation.
Quote:IMHO, for the most people most of their lives grammar and punctuation are practically fairly important the same as ability to do simple counting therefore they should be compulsory.
Quote:Do you need anything else to write and read manuals, job applications, b-letters, notes and all that other staff that majority of people use during their lives?
Quote:How giving people options to choose from limits their horizons?
IMHO, giving them no choice is more limiting.
Quote:That is wrong. Most of people force children to schools because they don't have time to look after them while working or killing time otherwise.
As for costs... when there is no compulsory spending cost are down.
Betty Stewart (my Years’s English teacher) would have a heart attack!
An apology in advance……if English is not the first language of your parents, tallowood.
I reckon it’s not, but you, I suspect, were born here and yet you still have the grammar of an alien.
