['Yeah I mean the economy has not benefited at all,from the education given to all.']
That's a good point.
['Do you mean the literal point I made or the sacastic position behind it?
What you said was accurate.
Public school = prison for kids

Who needs math. The nice lady at the register can read the numbers to you. And you'll believe her, who believes the machine which was programmed by a guy trying to turn a profit, that two 25 cent oranges cost 2 dollars.
Public school = prison for kids amazing similarities to prisons , perhaps we wouldn't be falling behind the rest of the world in just about every discernable category of education.
I agree with him to a degree on the "Public school=prison for kids". But, I consider it better than working in a factory fourteen or so hours per day, and, when I'm done with school, I'll probably be thankful for getting a great education, no matter how bad the other parts are.
You know, I made jokes about school feeling like a prison when I was in High School, and one of my schools had the nickname of "the Pink Prison" amongst the students. The thing is, that was the all-girl Catholic school. And it really was far more prison like than the public school I went to the following year.
When I was in first grade, going to Preston Hollow Elementary School, I picked up from the older kids the common practice of referring to it as "Prison Hollow." By third grade, however, I realized that it was no such thing, and that I would be bored out of my mind without school at least during a good chunk of the year. (Don't get me wrong; I loved summer vacations, but I realized that nothing BUT vacation would be no vacation at all -- just sheer boredom.)
As a teacher, I would say that CRASH is probably high school dropout.
And the alternative, CRASH? There's no way in hell my parents could've afforded privated school for four boys. The only other option (besides military school) is homeschooling. Parents had to work, plus they didn't have the capacity to teach me 12 years worth of schooling. Most people do not.
And by the way, fundie parents complain about the opposite, according to data and according to statistics, that THEY DO NOT DISCICPLINE ENOUGH. NO PRISON.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
