| No, *she* was reffering to an ameoba. The word was "pseudopodium," or a little foot that comes out of a cell to ingest food. She told us, "It's like a little foot, just remember the 'pseudo' means 'foot.'" I didn't want to bother mentioning that pseudiatrists don't treat athlete's foot... or that "pod" was right there in the word as well.
And you're using emotional generalizations to support your argument, similar to the "get your hands off my God" that was heard as a statue of the Ten Commandments was removied from an Alabama courthouse. My taxes don't go to the school system. My taxes go to a general pool, where it then turns into the Peoples' money, and the government decides how that money would be best spent to serve the Peoples' interest.
Regardless, the answer isn't to privitize, it's simply to expand. If schools could create communities of like-thinking people, instead of throwing everyone together and letting them set up a heirarchy, you'd get a much more positive result. That's why I advocate the idea of magnetizing the public school system, meaning all secondary schools are specialized, and are allowed freedoms to teach in unorthodox ways(within reason). Just remember, you can specialize in generality, as well. |
