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?

well. that's a good point Joz.

what exactly is the conspiracy supposed to be here?

paying carbon tax??

is that it ?  :^O

Yes:^O, under the guise of the Government is brainwashing all school students to think what the Govt wants them to think instead of thinking for themselves... I think.

I agree that education is the source of Science, and also with the assertion that it makes no sense to block the outcomes of educated sources, so as a precursor to that wouldn't we need to ensure that no input is blocked - i'e' that the Curriculum be equally accessible to every child regardless of intrapersonal variables and backgrounds?

That's the idea of the funding reforms isn't it?

So that every child has access to the curriculum and the support to progress through it at their level with appropriate resources to cater to their learning needs.

don't tell me, they planned to bring this tax to us from say the 1970's & have conspired to 'feed us with misinformation*   on global warming through schools, science and the  media for years..... to justify taxing us more

:^O

yeah, scientists have been making observations on the planets well before some knuckle head came up with the idea of a carbon tax  

[poddster]

Joz, it is not science or scientists in the true meaning that is at fault. It is the misuse of results and and the use fudged results along with incomplete results (jumping to conclusions) and neglecting more serious , but unpopular, issues.

In this particular thread I am trying to highlight the fact that governments are steering young kids into believing what they want them to belive and setting up the ftructure to achieve that end.

planets = well you know, mans impact on the planet

[debra9275]

& what else have the govt's. got planned for our future poddster? With their fudged results and all
