I myself have never seen any reason for the state to offer anything more
than m-a-y-b-e, gently suggesting and emoting moral support for, Community
based, non-compulsory, and thus volentary, gently Formal, six month course,
for
anyone of any age, who is interested, where
the rudiments of Reading, Writing/Penmanship, and Arithmetic would be
covered in an easy and comfortable way, at liesure.
There is no reason why any young Child should not be able to be provided
this anyway, at Home, by their Parents and or by older Siblings, or
relatives or neighbors or friends of their Parents/relatives/neighbors, if
the Parents themselves are deficient...but, for those instances where a
Child or anyone else may not appeal to family or friends for the
introduction, then, it would seem to me that Communities could take it upon
themselves to organize in gentle ways, for providing it.
After that, it should be up to the individual to do with it as they please.
If a person has those basic skills, then, everything else will be
within their reach, assuming they have a reach. And, if they wish to do
anything with it, that's fine...if they
do not, it is their business, and no business of the state or of anyone
else.
All of the interest, motives and methods of the state to 'educate' people,
have been disingenuous, an insult to and abuse of the Citizenry, and, a
disaster for
everyone, and a disaster for the future of the West, for almost a Century
now.
Again - unless or untill one understand 'Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy',
and, 'The Stockholm Syndrome', one will understand nothing of any importanc=

about our 'educational system', or the 'government' from which it hath
spawned, and, their true works.

Why not Amanda Lepore?
Seems a step 'up' from Lady GaGa to me anyway...

education. So could being in a 'coma' for some period of time or other...so
could a good dose of 'Salmonella', for that matter.
How such may be prioritized, or valued, or applied, and to what, and by
whom, and to
please whom, remains controversal.
I myself value my 'Salmonella' experience, and I do consider it to have bee=

'educational' or edifying anyway.
I would never have believed one coud feel that inconsolably horrible, and,
still live.

I have never had any 'Hope' for our Society.

Possibly you forget - the 'parents' have been 'educated' by, or are product=

or creations
of, the same system.

Good...
Most likely, a 'job' WITH any of these 'employers'...would be 'grim'.
So, they deserve eachother.
...it's a sort of 'Danse of Death'...a condition of the 'dead' burying the
'dead'...or burying the half-dead, in order to convert them...same as their
'education' was.

I would never have that 'job', nor have I been appropriately 'educated' to
have that job. If I had that job, they would fire me very quickly, if I had
not already 'quit'.
Probably, no one should have that 'job'...nor be 'educated' to it.
I think that is a big part of the 'problem'.
Too many are...
