Re: Fucking education! How does it work?
IIRC, in Germany the track system of sending some kids to vocational education and some to university tracks, was mostly found to be based on class lines, rather than the actual aptitude of the children.
Well it is good that vocational education exists (I took green house and landscaping classes as electives in High school), in my experience those are the type of classes and "extras" that fall under the budget axe first.
While you are struggling to keep your child out of a dysfunctional education system, I am struggling to keep an education system relevant to the majority of children. If I can summarize our positions succinctly. There are a fair amount of good things about public education, including the specialized teaching available for those who need it. I think we had, and can have a functional education system, but there are significant barriers to that, as in any other social problem we're facing today.
Whoo hoo! Adamus Prime is part of my hive mind!
