I think there are great teachers and some good schools but far to often we aren't doing enough to education our children.Black Moldhttp://blackmoldremovalfacts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-63201819829729630652011-08-29T20:29:22.886-04:002011-08-29T20:29:22.886-04:00I agree with all, except wih #2.

You have the right to choose where, how and what to study, but you can't let a young person choose in not studying. The question is, if it is not education "the" option, then what? Working? When we are trying to eradicate youth work, it will be disastrous to give the chance to avoid education. Remember that we are talking about young people that nowadays don't like schools (not all), so probably the answer will be "no education", because some of them still don't see the potential of a professional education. Do you remember when your mom forced to you to eat or do something you didn't want to do, but you never understood that she was forcing you for a good reason? Education is similar, Education is compulsory for a higher purpose. And, we, as adults know that. For example, I really can't see how to stop the circle of poverty if it is not by education. <br />Finally, I don't know how a person without knowledge or a professional education can fit in a modern and demanding world as the one we live in.Julián VMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979472790988764243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-28471002574508372492011-08-29T13:01:08.724-04:002011-08-29T13:01:08.724-04:00#4 is extremely problematic given that not every c...#4 is extremely problematic given that not every community can afford these changes. When you fund things at the local level, I agree that it allows for autonomy and choice (which is good) but at the same time it perpetuates the status quo in terms of social mobility.<br /><br />I'm in complete agreement with #2 and #3 and think that #1 is just being pedantic. We choose what the word school means, and I could see learning centres being just as problematic as schools are now. Define the space not by the word you use to describe it, but by the function it performs.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098221991466148258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-89700048422450321252011-08-29T11:28:03.242-04:002011-08-29T11:28:03.242-04:00I think Laurette may have picked up the idea of th...I think Laurette may have picked up the idea of the learning center from John Holt and Ivan Illach, and that she should reference the source of "her" idea.jus' sayin'noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-15741076492991609852011-08-29T10:51:47.466-04:002011-08-29T10:51:47.466-04:00Great articles.

I agree that education should not be forced upon anyone. <br /><br />Do you think it is appropriate for people to be forced to provide everyone's "right to an education"?Carolinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-88007071185411893962011-08-29T07:31:19.959-04:002011-08-29T07:31:19.959-04:00Couldn't agree more.Couldn't agree more.Jessica Nissan =)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12720133454195147930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-67373123412579648882011-08-29T06:57:26.090-04:002011-08-29T06:57:26.090-04:00The revolution has started!!The revolution has started!!Normanhttp://sunrisenorm.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
