PROVISION #691 (10/17/10): Touch Matters

The Manifesto, titled “How to fix our schools,”
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but it asks the wrong question. And, compounds the issue with a bad sentence construction.
“Our schools”. They are NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, “mine”. I get to pay for Gooferment Skrules, but have no input. (I’d shut them down. In an organized fashion. Over 40 years. And return the responsibility to the parents.) And, please don’t tell me to vote and lobby. That’s a rigged game that benefits the politicians, bureaucrats, and their fellow porkers at the trough.
The question SHOULD BE: Why are we using the 1800’s Prussian model for “schooling”? (Hasn’t the world changed a little? Education hasn’t.) That model had different objectives — cannon fodder, factory workers, and Sheeple to be led by the elite. (Notice where politicians send their children. Those are the elite. It ain’t us folks.) Phoenix University, home schooling, and Bill Gates are all clues that education is not found in Gooferment Skrules. Those seem to be nothing but training for prisons.
So we fix the Gooferment Skrules by growing out of them. First, we get Gooferment out of the operation over 20 years; 5% per year. Second, we get Gooferment out of the funding of education over 20 years. A lot of details to work out, but let’s set the direction to free posterity from the tyranny of out-of-control Gooferment.

There was nothing popular, local or personal about this artificial conceit of forced schooling; its purpose was to weaken people’s capacity to educate themselves, to break their loyalty to family, church and land in order to release customers and workforce for élite schemes of economics and social ordering.

Reinke Faces Life 
13 yrs. an elementary school teacher; 20 years an elementary school principal. Your plan sounds good to me. I especially like the 5% a year reduction. I will be surprised, though, if parents might on their own push this percentage higher.
