My guess is that it was because the principle of free enterprise was offensive to that teacher’s mentality.[/quote]

Seriously?

Or perhaps because kids who were supposed to be spending their parents hard-earned money on lunch were instead using it to buy “tattoos and stuff.”

With parent’s consent – OK
Without parent’s consent – “No”

You agreed as an argument, which is a little weird. I don’t need piles of false logic because I’m simply correct. Whatever argument you are trying to have is wrong, let it go.

I agree that it is necessary, but it’s only artificially necessary << that’s why I say I wouldn’t be in university if not for high-school, but I don’t have high-school to thank for getting me here.

People who want to be successful in life will be successful with or without mandatory classes, even in a system as broken as the Prussian high-school model we have now.

So algebra, geometry, calc, trig, physics, chemistry, foriegn languages, geography et cetera are all absolutely useless wastes of time with no real world, successful applications?

Your argument truly is retarded, TigerTime, and you said it yourself in your very first response.

You are both right.

I was a terrible student through high school and really did waste a lot of peoples time and effort, but thanks to some major frustrations in the workforce began taking college classes on my own.

Now I use algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry and communicate in basic Spanish (which I need to learn more of) on a daily basis.

My thoughts exactly. I wasn’t there; I don’t know. But I think it’s almost always safe to side with the adult in the room.

He’s only right to the extent that he’s arguing against points I never made and agreed with from the start.

That is the best part about arguments on the internet.

It has given rise to new forms of argument like “You’re right, but I’m righter!” and “I agree with you, but not that much.”.

That’s the thing, I’ve never claimed to be against education. My point was that the high-school system as-is is garbage. I don’t think he disagrees with this, but he’s already started arguing and he’s too egotistical to admit he jumped the gun and back down, so he make-believes I’m arguing something ridiculously absurd (like being against education << srsly, WTF?) so he still has something to argue about.

^ That’s another lie. I’ve explicitly stated that I’m against the Prussian model we currently base our high-school system around, you respond by saying “WHAT?!! YOU’RE AGAINST MATH AND SCIENCE AND GEOGRAPHY ETC. ETC. ETC.?!!”

Which is retarded.

I was clearly discussing curriculum as a foundation for continued success in the post you responded to. You know you’re off the mark and are taking a tangent. This is getting old.

I said: “I agree that it (highschool) is necessary, but it’s only artificially necessary << that’s why I say I wouldn’t be in university if not for high-school, but I don’t have high-school to thank for getting me here.”

You responded: “So algebra, geometry, calc, trig, physics, chemistry, foriegn languages, geography et cetera are all absolutely useless wastes of time with no real world, successful applications?”

^ This is a non-sequitur. I have no idea how you got that out of what I said. Even before this I made it clear I was against the model. You’re arguing against points no-one has made.

Edit: I too am discussing curriculum as a foundation for continued success, it’s just that I say the current curriculum is garbage and it’s garbage because its original intent isn’t even to educate.

TigerTime and HoustounGuy are having the dumbest internet debate I have read in a while.

And I read the PWI threads.

Believe me, that’s worse to read.

By far.

Yeah. I understand what you are trying to say. I think it would be much better for some people if they were to be steered towards trades rather than college. Not to say that trades don’t need mathematics and business skills, but do they need to have the complete rounded liberal arts education?

We need mechanics, electritions and plumbers. Some of these trades are quite technical and we might be better served if we started to train some of our students at an earlier age.

I’m not discounting education, but I think that we can make it better.
