    Taxpayers fund private school orchestra pits and swimming pools

    I'm sorry if the way I phrased it seemed discombobulating, it was around 12am when I composed the message. What I'm trying to say is that such high fees wouldn't exist in a system of pure capitalism, simply paying however much tuition is demanded of me doesn't mean I'm sticking to my guns. It's...

    Don't compare me with saltedwound, the guy evidently has no economic sense and feels as if his authoritative views render him superior and unique. And no, that's not how it works. It's as if to say because I believe in anarcho-capitalism, if my house catches fire, I'll refuse help from...

    Making stupid remarks without thinking, or simply doing so hoping you come off as 'cool', doesn't help your case. I'm not here to condemn, I'm here to convert. There's enough laissez-faire capitalism for all of us.

    I've made it abundantly clear to you that education in the free market will come at a low-to-no cost. This is through the removal of IP laws and greater access being granted to those seeking education. I'll copy and paste something my friend sent me the other day, hopefully it clears things up...

    It is about profit, but the free market promotes competition and subsequently the tailoring to consumer wants/needs becomes a main priority. Are you so ignorant that you can't make that simple connection? Yes, profit is a main incentive, however, you can't slack off and expect money to be handed...

    Of course they don't, once more, it's attributed to the truancy laws and the absence of the free market.

    "Just as no one is morally required to answer a robber truthfully when he asks if there are any valuables in one's house, so no one can be morally required to answer truthfully similar questions asked by the State, e.g., when filling out income tax returns." - Murray Rothbard Tax is absolute...

    It's an economic waste of resources. If we remove compulsory school attendance, i.e. abolish truancy law. And if we remove other laws that prove to be restrictions on learning and the availability/accessibility of information and education, i.e. IP laws, we'd have a far smarter group of people...

    Also @ Chronost and Shuyaa. 1) Taxation is a scam, all government intervention should be alleviated and the free market implemented. 2) The methodology teachers choose to equip and the conduct of the classroom are the main factors, and any discrepancies in either two are sourced by government...

    Yes it does, re-read what I wrote and see if you can find the link this time. If you're still adamant that there's no correlation, please put forth your argument.

    No, lol. Saltedwound you're not helping my case. Public "education" is atrocious. Look at the numbers. Kids are failing out in large numbers, quality is low, and attendance is forced. School is literally a prison for children from poor/low-income families. A lot of those problems stem from...

    I agree with saltedwound, there should be no government intervention in the economy, which of course, would be inclusive of education. Things would be far better.

    Anyone keen to share their after school schedule?

    I'll start doing cardio after school and stuff, see if it works out for me.

    Need help with a stimulus quote?

    Okay, are you saying that in either circumstance the path of evil will remain unfollowed? Also, any ideas as to how I can integrate this into a story format?

    What would you rate my Senior Subject Workload for Year 11?

    As opposed to other extension subjects, which are usually additions onto a particular subject, English Extension 1 can be considered to be a whole new course, and so yes, it is demanding.
