Darth Revan of the Sith Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 [quote name='Mihails Tāls' timestamp='1353280474' post='6072958'] Education should be about equality and providing for people. I disagree with academies, private schools and free schools - state comprehensives are the only way to create a fair environment for all. I don't agree with banning private schools and free schools - just tax them, they are businesses, after all. I do agree with banning academies though - the government should not give the business world their seal of approval if they want to get involved in education our children, the same way healthcare shouldn't be open to the markets. In the UK, universities were free until a fool named Anthony (not "Tony", he's not your friend, don't shorten his name) Blair decided to screw us all over. Then our government of silver-spoon Rothschild-fawning toffs decided to raise the fees to £27,000 for a full degree at the top universities (that's about $42,880 for you Americans). As you can guess, a lot of poor people can't afford that, even with a loan, so universities are once again becoming filled with students based on wealth rather than talent. Aren't we supposed to be a "meritocracy?" [/quote] Suppose to be. Doesn't mean they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
