That would be great if they got rid of public schools (government schools)!I didn't have time to read the whole article, but as a Libertarian I know that anything ran by the government is not as efficient as something ran by the free market. The government school system is a joke. They standardize everything, so that everybody has to learn the same thing.If we got rid of public schools, then the free market would offer private institutions in it's place, where one could learn what they want to learn, in half the time, and at half the cost.
Since I know you're a democrat, though, I know you're basically just looking for a handout and won't agree with anything a libertarian or republican thinks since much of it deals in personal responsibility and paying your own way.

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything I really am curious lol.
You want free market education, go to Mexico. Most their wealthy elite kids graduate, come to the US for education, go back and become very successful. Their priviate school are some of the world's best. Everyone else, well, you can hire them at your local Home Depot to mow your lawn. I want a system were the poor has access to quality education from a young age. At one time, California was the envy of the world. Japanese would go to classrooms and study their education system. After tax cut after tax cut and the rise of highly regarded private schooling in rich neighborhoods, education has fallen so hard in California, Los Angeles has more drop outs than graduates, some schools have day care for students babies and Californians envy Texas of all places for better education. But from 1967-1999 Ronald Reagan, George Deukmejian, and Pete Wilson ran the state with Jerry Brown in the middle. Deukmejian, who was Reagan's right hand man in Cali, did the worst damage to our public school system in the 80's, and Wilson finished the job in the 90's.
I disagree, because in the 80's, Ronald Reagan ran and won on getting rid of the Dept. of Ed. and basically taking money out of our failing system, and Deukmejian took millions out.
Also, 100 years ago, California was not 36million, so it was easier to have priviate schooling. The proplem with Libertarian thought is it's for smaller rural countries and places that people are involved with each other.
In a place like California, there is so much diversity, and so much distrust and so many problems that these problems wouldn't work itself out. Too many kids will die or have babies before it works it's self out and that we cannot have.

Just because Reagan ran as a Libertarian in the 80's does not mean that he lived up to any of his promises once in office. Government grew more under Reagen than it did under Clinton. His education cuts were little to none.Quote from: M Dogg for Obama on March 12, 2008, 10:32:38 PMAlso, 100 years ago, California was not 36million, so it was easier to have priviate schooling.

That's the whole thing, the constitution states that any duties not granted to the Federal government within the constitution were to be handled by the states. So the states were supposed to compete against each other. Then you break everything down to a local, county, level, and so on. The government isn't supposed to be ruling all the land.Quote from: M Dogg for Obama on March 12, 2008, 10:32:38 PMIn a place like California, there is so much diversity, and so much distrust and so many problems that these problems wouldn't work itself out.

Whatever you want, it's your choice in a Libertarian country, you won't be forced by people like Bush and Gingrinch.
that's the issue, we fought to intergrate schools, and then have a system were people could put themselves into segration. That's not a way to teach kids who will be in the most diverse state in the union.
