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?

 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. 

You are highlighting your opinion, nothing more than that.

No he is not. His "opinion" is backed by scores of recognized experts in the field.

May I direct you back to the four main recognized functions of the school system?

Then we need to agree to disagree 🙂

Yet to get anyone to agree by the looks.

I thought this thread was a demonstration of crikkey and plodz superior education? 

Well, no matter if that's wrong. It's still a good demonstration.

Mighty nice of you to recognize it. Thank you.

It takes a big person to not only accept that they are wrong, but an even bigger one to admit it, so Kudos for that to you...

Answer these questions then:

What Governments, and from which countries?

When did they start  (what year/decade) brainwashing students?

What structures did they put in place to achieve that end and when did they put these structures in place?

It may be the idea, but both politicians and the general public determine what a good education is based upon policy documents, without taking  the wide variety of other factors into consideration.

Unfortunately, there is more to an equal and just education for all children that that which is prescribed in the current policy documents.

It wasn't politicians who did the research and recommended the changes. Nor did they hired a few florists and butchers for the job. 

They appointed a panel of specialists from across the education spectrum to review the current system and develop recommendations for the future.

and sometimes, it is nice to say "please" not just make demands.

I understand that, I have been following this for four years and have participated in the current roll out.
