We don't need no stinkin Dept of Education!

High school English class is actually extraordinarily useful practice for critical thinking skills, as well as developing an argument with supporting evidence and writing.

That's the theory. The reality is that high school English class is a warehouse for ignorant dolts where they learn almost nothing.

You could say that in any class where there's a uncaring student or where there's a teacher is sub par.

She also want's to get rid of the EPA.

Ever notice how those that want to get rid of education are all stupid?

Yes.

I've noticed that everyone who defends government schools is stupid and dishonest.

I didn't know you liked public schools, I thought you were against them from the way you talk.

Hence conservative opposition to High School English class.

I think reading George Orwell's chronological disavowment of socialism, especially in his nonfiction, is a great gift to humans who are making an effort to mature rather than just get older.

You are a farm animal, and you will be treated like one by the human beings who run the world you just happen to find yourself in. Good luck.

That does not even make sense.

You might figure it out if you had an education.

You think you are insulting someone, got it.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Of course. Now instead of answering a question with a question just say 'yes' or 'no.' Do you think that studying Shakespeare and Tolstoy is useless?

If you want to study English or Russian literature, they are not.

If you are in grade school learning about what you need to get through life, it is.

Did you see the part where I said grade school? You must not have paid attention in those classes.

Coming from a person that obviously has no critical thinking skills whatever it is surprising you can even use the word hence.

Funny, I don't think grade schoolers are ever taught Tolstoy or Shakespeare, unless Shakespeare penned Fun with Dick and Jane during his off-hours from writing tragedies.

I read Shakespeare in 6th grade. Tolstoy is boring, even in Russian. (That last I learned from someone who learned Russian, I do not know it myself.)

Hey Windbag.. It's plagiarized.. I saw that one in a fortune cookie just recently..

Wrong again, ignorant.

Yeah -- I could be wrong. SOUNDED like a fortune cookie. But maybe it was from Animal Farm...

Bachmann: Why do we need a Department of Education, anyway? « Hot Air

Or so it seems.

Painting herself as a “constitutional conservative” Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann told Sen. Jim DeMint’s forum Monday that if elected president she would look to get rid of the Department of Education, among other things.

She also want's to get rid of the EPA.

Ever notice how those that want to get rid of education are all stupid?

Yeah, because wanting to get rid of inept, inefficient, wasteful, federal beauracracy is exactly the same thing as saying we should not educate children.......

 

[SFC Ollie]

Has anyone figured out what improvements to education the DOE has made in their 32 years yet?


Didn't think so..........

yes... because it's so much easier to teach religion as science when you do away with standards.

Have our schools/test scores/graduation rates improved since the feds jumped in to administer "standards"?

 

[Uncensored2008]

If true, then getting rid of the Department of Education will have no effect.

Non-sequitur.

To you, perhaps. But to those who understand the intrinsic value of education, not.

More education and less indoctrination would help.

State education is a conflict of interest. The goal of the state is to perpetuate itself. An independent and critically thinking populace is contrary to the goals of the state.

Simply stated; in order that liberty should survive, there must be a strict and impenetrable wall of separation between education and state.

And hence you might have just made his point for him.

I'd guess he has recieved an "education" as you like to call it under the current system.

According to you it didn't do him much good.

Got it.
