One time during a presidential election year, my daughter came home and told me about this strange comment her art teacher made about killing babies. I don't remember if it was due to an abortion issue or the stem cell issue that involved embryos (wasn't there something like that a couple of elections ago?). Anyway, I remember being shocked that a teacher would make that comment to children so young.

My only grip is the opinions of some teachers that get pushed on students when you don't even believe in what they are teaching but it is a required class to get a degree.

Regarding what people value, they value what has cost them something, where that "something" may be money, time, energy, or anything else of value to the payer. When people receive something for nothing, they treat the freebie nonchalantly. <a href="http://www.darrylpace.com" rel="nofollow">Health, Fitness for Working People -- Darryl Pace</a> Great post.

Kate, We need to remember the point of education is to educate and inculcate the LOVE of learning and to educate that person about their gifts and talents. Not just to SCHOOL them. The system was (seriously) developed by the Cap. Barons of the 19th c to create workers who would be happy doing factory work. Now it is geared towards SCHOOLING people to be cubicle drones and dependent on Big Corps. THAT is a problem, as well. I know. I know. "I thought her focus was dating and relationships?" I bring in expertise from a variety of sources to help people do that. Indeed, children and how you want and see educating your children is a pre-marital topic couples are well advised to discuss and consider.

Unless you ar majoring in a hard science or engineering discipline or attending a top institution like Harvard, Yale or Stanford there is no reason to pay retail for college. For most people it is a waste of money.

The market has to take over if we are going to get out of the mess created. I believe the public educational system is in the hands of self-severing charlatans who push a political agenda.

Really interesting post. Whether or not someone pays for education they recieve is one way to indicate how they value what they learned. I was taught to honor my teachers by applying what I learnt, and if possible learn to a level higher than my teacher. I can name a few people who spend a fortune on seminars, etc and NEVER apply any of what they learn. Curious.

What IS the primary purpose of education? Is it to create a nation (world) of happy people? Is it to impart wisdom? Is it to build relationships? Is it to build a nanny state?! www.martin-wright.com Interesting post.
