Is government control of the education system a desirable "reform"

[poddster]

The question is, should government influence our education systen?

When governmet says it wants the same opertunities for every child is it really saying that it wants uniformity in education , such as what is being taught and how it is being taught.?

Is it better to have diversity in education as to what and how kids are educated?

when you start a thread on education you should really use spell check

Typos are my trade mark 🙂 and everyone work out what the typo is 🙂

[just_me_karen]

Ok I'll work it out.

systen is a typo, because the n is next to the m on the keyboard.

the rest are spelling mistakes.

Am I right?

[karliandjacko]

I've never seen so many people spell opertunities the same way.

Must have all gone to the same school.

Is this poster implying that we should all learn different spellings, according to where we live?

The Constitution gives the controlling powers for education to the individual States.

It is my opinion that there should be an overarching national benchmark for which the States are responsible to attain by implementing appropriate strategies and to then be held accountable for them.

Even within the States, there is such cultural and economic diversity that I believe in allowing individual schools and or communities to determine what is the most positive and constructive outcome for their populace.

Every child deserves an equal and just education regardless of their cultural, economic or other status, I can't see how a Federal Govt can ensure that equality with a one size fits all solution.

I don't understand the poll. Is it change the system or is it let the system change?

With regards to pronunciation

     the OP's  " systen"  sounds like cistern.

A Freudian slip perhaps?

[not_an_eloi]

change the cistern
