Education: Do We Really Need Schools Or Do We Need To Better Understand What Education Should Really Be?
Robin Good
Be Smart, Be Independent, Be Good?

How do we educate our children to be active, critical thinkers and not dumb passive consumers serving someone else interests? For however strange this may sound to you, it may have been “marketing” itself to bring us the terrible education system most civilized countries have adopted in the last century or so.
*** and ***
School trains children to be employees and consumers; teach your own to be leaders and adventurers. School trains children to obey reflexively; teach your own to think critically and independently.
Well-schooled kids have a low threshold for boredom; help your own to develop an inner life so that they’ll never be bored.
Urge them to take on the serious material, the grown-up material, in history, literature, philosophy, music, art, economics, theology – all the stuff schoolteachers know well enough to avoid.

Robin discovers that education makes big children. I’ve been reading Gatto for a while and that’s why I think we have to end gooferment “public” eddycation by running skoolz!

FDIC Approves the Assumption of the Insured Deposits of Miami Valley Bank, Lakeview, Ohio
***Begin Quote***
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 4, 2007
Media Contact:
David Barr (202) 898-6992
cell: (703) 622-4790
e-mail: dbarr@fdic.gov
The Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today approved the assumption of the insured deposits of Miami Valley Bank, Lakeview, Ohio, by The Citizens Banking Company, Sandusky, Ohio.
Miami Valley, with $86.7 million in total assets and $76 million in total deposits as of October 1, 2007, was closed today by Ohio’s Superintendent of Financial Institutions, and the FDIC was named receiver.
The failed bank’s two offices will reopen tomorrow as branches of The Citizens Banking Company. Depositors of Miami Valley will automatically become depositors of the assuming bank.
The Citizens Banking Company has agreed to assume $62 million of the failed bank’s insured deposits for a two percent premium. At the time of closing, Miami Valley had approximately $14 million in 269 deposit accounts that exceeded the federal deposit insurance limit. While these customers will have access to their insured deposits, they will become creditors of the receivership for the amount of their uninsured funds. The FDIC will retain all of Miami Valley’s assets for later disposition.

Why would anyone EVER have a balance in excess of the 100k$ FDIC limit?

LIBERTY: gambling, self-medication and sex for hire

VIN SUPRYNOWICZ: New York Times parachutes into Vegas again to make stuff up

… … the fruitlessness of laws that seek to ban consensual acts including gambling, self-medication and sex for hire?
***End Quote***
One really has to wonder about the people and their reps. Do they live in an alternative universe from the rest of us? In that alternative universe, maybe making gambling, drugs, and prostitution illegal stops real people from doing them, but not in the real world.
Making these illegal, ensure that the mob has a constant source of income. Make them legal, would put the mob in competition with a host of internet gambling sites, WalMart & many other “drug” stores, and bevy of “escort” services now legal.
Every time I hear of a person, usually a youngster, dying of a drug over dose or impurity in the stuff, I blame gooferment. If the stuff was legal, it would be USP certified and cheap. Then, we could focus on treatment. So, be ready, when you ask me if little kids should be able to buy “drugs”, my answer is that they do now. And, your stupid laws, that are attempting to legislate morality on other people by force of gooferment, are killing people.
Argh!
Join the real world, and let’s work on solutions that will really fix problems. If you’re going to stay in that alternative universe, then please keep your ideas from leaking in over here.
Double Argh!
