For instance, I'm in favor of "classical education" (originating in Greece), including emphasis on logic and reasoning, philosophy, practical trades, etc. Likewise, far less emphasis on topics such as dodgeball, "bouncy ball" and acting.
<br>
<br>But I think thats the question and that's the point. The real question, beneath all this rhetoric and argument all boils down to really one simple question: Who gets the most influence over the education of our children? Who gets to priorize what they are taught and what they aren't taught? What topics should be *required*, whereas what other ones should be optional?
<br>
<br>Who gets to stick ideas into the brains of the next generation of voters?
<br>
<br>That's the question, ultimately and the bottom line.
<br>
<br>And my personal answer is that there is no "one size fits all" <b>correct</b> answer to that question. A lot of it is subjective and a lot of it is opinion.
<br>
<br>I don't mean opinion like "we should tell kids 2 + 2 = 5" or "we should push intelligent design" or any of that.
<br>
<br>Rather, I mean subjective like "ethics should be a topic in our schools" compared to gymnastics. The latter is an opinion, which is ultimately non-scientific. And since there is no one universally accepted answer, I think the most logical person who should make that decision are people at the community level.
<br>
<br>I'm sure you'll disagree, since you actually believe what you prioritize are the only possible correct answers, just like I believe what I prioritize are the only possible correct answers (eg - gym is dumb). But in reality, I don't think any one group should determine how our children are educated and ultimately it should be the perogative of the parents and the community.
