I think it's great. The government shouldn't throw anyone in prison for going to school.

Even if it was a right, it would be a lesser right at the expense of a greater right (to one's own property), so that would be bullshit.

In a free market all children would have access to education. Altough some schools would require you to pay to enter, some schools would be free and make money in other ways, such as advertisements in schools or student loans. I know american hate student loans these days, but in a free market there would be tons of companies offering you loans so you'd be able to get something fair with low interest rates that doesn't require you to pay until a certain amount of time.

Advertisements is a requirement of free market. Please understand that without monopolies, people need to be informed to what products they can buy. Even schools would advertise themselves to parents to show their merits. Advertisement is not brainwashing, it is simply a mean of communication.

That is the most horrible thing I have heard today.

If you want to get more kids access to education then MOOCs (massive open online courses) are the way to do it in order to balance cost against results. Unfortunately those also require that kids are somehow motivated so their parents would have to get involve and punish them if they aren't keeping up in classes. Modern parents can't be bothered and want someone else to take care of it for them.

Modern public schools are essentially babysitters that allow parents to squirt out kids without having to deal with them for most of the day.

Since when did libertarianism ever equal no taxes or public services? That's treading into AnCap territory.

If anything, to me, public education in a libertarian society wouldn't be about indoctrination because of a restricted budget and lack of big gov to actually desire such a thing.

Maybe. But if it IS terrible, then in a free market people can just look for alternatives so it doesn't matter how terrible something is.

As for the rest, I believe people are the product of their time and culture. In a free market society, parents would act differently simply. They'd have to, with no welfare and food stamps.

>>15639014 (OP)
You have no right to education. That said, a system of vouchers for education is something I would support. Your voucher would cover primary and secondary school. College would be partially covered. Professions like engineering, computer science and the like would be covered. Bullshit like women's studies would not. Additional conditions could be added so that if you have a high GPA your vouchers covers more than someone's with a low GPA.

I think that on balance such a system would satisfy everyone. People get education, government doesn't take over schools, you don't get teachers unions etc.

We have no disagreement ideologically. However, what we believe ideologically must be married to what can be done practically. Vouchers would preserve market freedom, keep government control away and provide the education we all want. Sure it's tax funded and not perfect, but I'll take it.

Yes. Those are not straight up lies, they're just a kind of semantic, since they're using buzzwords that have little scientific meanings. If people don't inform themselves that's their problem. The nutrion facts on the back of the cereal is where you should be looking.

the nutrition facts are incomplete and, for example, aren't legally obligated to include polyunsaturated fats (the most cancer-promoting and health deteriorating fats) but only for saturated fats which are falsely accused of being the worst for you when in fact they are healthy.
All this nutrition data is based on the food pyramid which is utter nonsense and promotes a shitty diet.

It's not "false" because it's debatable. "This contains nuts" when it contains no nuts is not "detable" which is why it would be false.

The usage of the term "right" in this case is dubious, but yes, in order to have a society you need to have educated people. In fact, I'd say that additional education is the solution to the majority of our problems nowadays. People are poverty-stricken largely due to the fact that they're just too dumb to participate in higher-order job markets, and their parents were too dumb to realize the value of education. In fact, it would not surprise me if the average black IQ in America were to be a bit lower than that of the average Caucasian American IQ, as black people were denied education almost entirely for a number of centuries. The answer to the problem of widespread poverty nowadays lies in education, it would seem to me. You guys are always complaining about "dumb, useless niggers". To me it is quite obvious the solution lies in the increased proliferation, quality, and advocacy of education. Given the fact that the job market is so tight nowadays for those who have degrees in abstracted subjects - even PhDs - I think it's obvious that the choice would be to fill up our elementary and high schools with those PhDs who are, though competent and intelligent, simply unable to find a job, or overworked with a thousand and one non-tenured odd jobs at a hundred and one universities. It's ridiculous to me that people think it's okay that someone can teach algebra even half way competently without actually having their higher education devoted to math. Sure, they might be smart enough to understand it, but I would think that experts would be the most apt to assume pedagogical positions. So by increasing the potency and proliferation of education, we'd better the conditions of those in poverty while providing hard working, intelligent, but unfortunate people with jobs.

On a mildly related note, you are now aware that the Constitution says nothing at all about the right to free inquiry or research. It would be entirely legal for the government to restrict and regulate what fields are permissible to conduct new research in. It could probably even suppress the general populace's access to already-existing knowledge without necessarily infringing free speech.

>>15641813

Although I'm confident in the effectiveness of the societal actions I've recommended, I believe they are ultimately temporary solutions. Ultimately I think that, given the growing population and shrinking resources, education in those subjects that are arguably the most important - i.e. history, philosophy (especially ethics), political science, and other rather abstract subjects - must be restricted to the elite few who are intelligent enough to bring these disciplines to their full fruition - with a newly educated populace, so many of them will want to become philosophical and mathematical geniuses that the job market for the educated may actually worsen, despite the newly opened elementary and high school positions. Hence, during the formative years it ought to be determined by a local committee of the finest pedagogues which child should pursue which area of discipline. If a child is shown to lack verbal and mathematical intelligence but excel in spatial calculation, then they ought to become a construction worker or, if they are not so good with their hands, perhaps and architect. On the other hand, if a child is asocial and not good with words and yet competent in math, then he or she might be chosen to become and engineer, or, if he or she is truly gifted, might begin the practice of that most coveted tradition of pure mathematics. The child's ability would also determine the extent to which they are educated - if a boy can, at the age of nine, understand Einsteinian relativity, then it ought to be clear to the committee of pedagogues that he should be shown the very heights of physics and mathematics. If, however, a child is shown merely to have a penchant for math but a passion for video games, there isn't any reason to overeducate him - he will never have the will to become great.

In the case of education, or health care in my country, it is "free at the point of use" for the service users. This is why it is called a "free" service.

What bit of this don't you understand?

Not every kid has autism. We just need to get rid unproductive things that draw their attention.

Do you even epigenetics? If a group of people is denied education for close to have a millennium, you had better believe that this will have an impact on the capability of their descendants for many, many generations to come. To me this is common sense. Now, whether this sort of demographically motivated statistic is even useful, is, I think an obvious negative answer, but that's neither here nor there.

"we" don't, whoever's product is inferior has to create a new product or find another job

nope.

I don't consider IQ difference as a principle to uphold prejudice. I believe no matter what you are human and that we should fix the difference, not ignore it.

Suicide is actually really disconnected from social pressure. Cloudy weather has more impact on it.

Epigenitics does not work that way, kill yourself

I am a godless liberal and nobody really has any rights ever. The only thing that we say gives us rights is a piece of paper. It is an important one but it can be suspended.

Then enlighten me, how does it work? I hardly think ignorance in a subject in which you've had no formal education is hardly a reason to kill yourself, so I'll pass on that.

rather that than death from poverty from not getting a job.

I hate people like you. You think getting rid of problems will fix this? I think it will restrict their freedom in the long run.
They must be pressured... not restricted.

An emotional, not physical restraint in the sense yes.

You're failing to understand.

The one thing making that possible is my tax money. That's it.

If people did not pay their taxes, what do you think would happen to those "free" services?

One too many "hardly"s in there; get rid of the first one. Sorry, I had like four hours of sleep last night.

why are you libtards so determined that "education" only equates to state-sponsored indoctrination. education is simply learning, and you don't need to go to school to be educated or intelligent. an individual may not have spent his time learning to read and write but instead spent his entire life learning how to fish, hunt, swim, etc - humans are in a constant state of learning and "intelligence" (inb4 semantic debate on the meaning of the word intelligence) as measured by IQ scores (also called "g") is highly heritable at 70-80% of the variation between two individuals in America being a result of genetic differences as opposed to environment.

there is no evidence whatsoever that the low IQ of Blacks is due to "oppression" or "lack of education" and a preponderance of evidence that it is in fact due to weaker selective pressures in their evolutionary history for high intelligence, just like there were less selective pressures for light skin.

..youre an idiot

everything you just said is based on the mistaken thought of there being a lack of education and people not being smart

theres not enough 4 year college degree jobs to go around let alone adding more people to the market wouldnt be a solution but a saturation

It should be a privilage. Too many people in Fatclapistan take it for granted. It would weed out all of the slobs bound for NEETness and possibly restore this country to something better.

If you go into the doctors and he gives you some pills for an ailment, and you don't pay anything for them, would you consider those pills free, for you personally?

This is what "free at the point of use" means.

If you don't understand this concept I can try and give you a simpler example.

I would only consider it "Free" if I didn't pay taxes that went into a medical care system that provided it or I didn't have a private insurance plan that covered the costs for me.

But I guess the meal I just ate was "Free" because I didn't pay for the steak, potatoes and butter at the point in which I decided to use it, but a week ago went i went grocery shopping.

No, you paid for the steak directly. If you didn't have any money, you would not have any steak.

If you didn't have money for education, you still get the education. It is "free at the point of use". It is free for you, personally.

If you're still having difficulty understanding this, I'll try and make it even simpler.

>>15644326
By free education he means that it is indirectly free. You are not denied of you cannot pay.
However you're right in saying that you're paying for it with your tax dollars. However it is still free by the fact that if you live off the government you can still claim medical expenses, education etc.

>>15645473

Education is simply "free at the point of use".

You don't need any money to access the service.

Simple.
