Ron Paul has said that schools should be privatized, right?
And people should be allowed to home school their children.
I just thought about;
Who's going to give money to the schools?
Corporations?
Do you have any IDEA how fucking dangerous that is?
A Corporation can be compared to a psychopath. Would you really trust your children's futures to such a force?

it depends how much it costs to start a school.
if i'm not mistaken in the EU it's quite cheap to start a school,
so it's not only possible for "big corporations"... but also for "normal people".

Governments use corporations to funnel their monopolies, the only difference is that these corporations have peoples stolen tax money instead of the money from parents. However, they are trying to make it so people have to pay AND have to pay for it in tax...Double yum yum.
The biggest corporations in the world are socialist institutions. These are far more dangerous than privatised corporations because they are protected by law and if they start doing worse, they get more tax money which is an insentive to do bad.
However, I think parents are going to be the ones that will be paying for the private schools but corporations in theory start up their own schools. All I want is not to have my money stolen from me and flushed down the toilet with their socialist pet monsters and so I can have freedom of choice to have my kids educated at a decent place.

Schools are extremely inefficient. Years and years of sitting at a desk in prison-like environments to learn what? Information that can be found on Wikipedia in a few seconds? Have you noticed how fast a child can learn an extraordinary complicated video game? Are we supposed to believe that children really need years and years of mechanical programming of essentially crap?
Simple language skills, simple but CORRECT knowledge of basic math, and a few other small amounts of knowledge, and then the kids would be able to very, very quickly learn what they wanted by themselves on a creative, inspirational and individual basis, both individually and in social networks/groups.

Good for you.
There was a government study quoted on television that said it would only take 20 minutes private tuition per day 5 days a week to educate a child from birth to perfect A level standards by the time they are 18. This would not cost £5,000 per year we spend on each student. Even if you were poor, you could get a group of five or so of the same age and give them an extremely good education for very little time & money.
Still the main purposes of education is for the government to act like babysitters while your at work on the plantation.
