If you're fixing "problems" everywhere, in essence you're fixing problems that don't exist in a large number of places. To not even get into whether or not that in and of itself is detrimental to society as a whole, it flies in the face of logic to assume that is cost effective. Were you to claim it on moral or ethical grounds, I'd disagree with you but I'd understand your perspective, but from a financial and mathematical standpoint its simply absurd.

infi 1679 October 26, 2007 10:07AM

I don't doubt that it's true.

Lokain 514 October 26, 2007 10:34AM

That's not true either.

Death_Claw 614 October 26, 2007 10:37AM

I always wondered why...

Scrimbul 500 October 26, 2007 11:42AM

The irony for me...

Death_Claw 539 October 26, 2007 11:53AM

a minor point

Nivek 530 October 26, 2007 12:10PM

Thanks for the clarification. n/t

Death_Claw 551 October 26, 2007 12:16PM

All of my evidence is purely anecdotal

Lokain 585 October 26, 2007 12:16PM

Well, from what you're telling me, that's to be expected.

Scrimbul 483 October 26, 2007 12:44PM

In all actuality...

Tim Tebow is the man. I love him. Seriously. And I hate Florida. nt

Isildur 595 October 26, 2007 12:10PM

Good points, especially inre to parent involvement.

Balrahd 499 October 26, 2007 12:14PM

Sorry, n/t in the above n/t.

Balrahd 471 October 26, 2007 12:18PM

I don't think that's so much the issue.

Death_Claw 1303 October 26, 2007 12:19PM

This report hand picks its data.

infi 558 October 26, 2007 12:22PM

The one I responded to you with was the Wall Street Journal.

Death_Claw 612 October 26, 2007 12:34PM

I'm only going to point out a glaring contradiction

infi 522 October 26, 2007 06:17PM

PS: 6am til 11:00pm day for me

infi 543 October 26, 2007 06:23PM

Nobody cares for your self-pity, dude.

Scrimbul 573 October 27, 2007 07:45AM

You totally spoke with 5 fingers to his face n/t

Lokain 549 October 27, 2007 07:54AM

I worked computer repair in a retail environment.

Scrimbul 543 October 27, 2007 07:59AM

I had nothing against your previous post

Lokain 520 October 27, 2007 08:45AM

Oh it was nothing against you.

Scrimbul 503 October 27, 2007 10:32AM

No, he's lobbying for a raise. :P nt

DurNominator 581 October 27, 2007 09:03AM

Summers, Winter Break and Spring Break off suck too, eh? nt

Re: I'm only going to point out a glaring contradiction

Death_Claw 502 October 26, 2007 07:32PM

I'm going to keep going, just because I can talk about this for hours.

Death_Claw 502 October 26, 2007 07:58PM

Just (a few) problems with your model

infi 549 October 27, 2007 04:48AM

Well, here's where our beliefs differ.

Death_Claw 485 October 27, 2007 05:42AM

More explanation about the text book thing, from prior experience.

Death_Claw 516 October 27, 2007 06:52AM

Arr. I replied to the wrong thread below.

Balrahd 517 October 27, 2007 08:03AM

Could you link your other post? I'd be interested in your reasoning. n/t

Death_Claw 504 October 27, 2007 08:07AM

Basically...

Death_Claw 482 October 27, 2007 08:43AM

FWIW I agree completely n/t

Lokain 524 October 27, 2007 07:21AM

Thanks. I think a lot of people do, just the squeaky wheel gets the oil. n/t

Death_Claw 513 October 27, 2007 07:24AM

Re: Well, here's where our beliefs differ.

Chalupah 547 October 27, 2007 08:45PM

Some questions.

Paul Ott 573 October 27, 2007 07:31AM

I didn't even think like that and I agree with answering those questions. nt

Re: Computers

Death_Claw 527 October 27, 2007 09:33AM

Books can be used again, though.

DurNominator 563 October 27, 2007 10:31AM

Whereas computers explode the moment you're done with them. n/t

Death_Claw 632 October 28, 2007 02:54PM

I'm still waiting to hear how homework is done in your system.

DurNominator 558 October 29, 2007 12:08AM

I do not study well with pc n/t

Graham 554 October 30, 2007 01:57PM

A slightly different perspective -

Chalupah 536 October 27, 2007 08:35PM

Oh man, I need some drugs for this post.

Chalupah 561 October 27, 2007 08:24PM

Here's our disconnect.

Death_Claw 531 October 28, 2007 03:08PM

You don't have kids, do you?

Chalupah 536 October 27, 2007 07:59PM

Regarding &quot;brain drain&quot;

Death_Claw 569 October 28, 2007 03:22PM

You're both saying some true things. txt

Isildur 549 October 27, 2007 09:14AM

I agree but I'd like to emphasize one issue.

Death_Claw 582 October 27, 2007 09:20AM

This is a good place to point out our difference:

Chalupah 533 October 27, 2007 08:51PM

Yes, I do say lets aim lower.

Death_Claw 508 October 28, 2007 03:00PM

And furthermore a difference between you and I.
