A bit of freedom ...
A little competition long ago. In Sweden, for more than a decade, there
school vouchers and the possibility for parents to take their children to school they want, paid by the State ... public money follows the student.
The freedom has degrees
the right of Swedish school choice has important limitations, especially in price. If a school wants to receive school vouchers can not charge more for any reason, limiting their ability to offer upgrades or extras or compete for the most demanding market. But they can compete on cost and quality. Showing that the market (more or less) free not only meets the needs of the rich. There are even better examples of this in Africa
and India, where even the poorest would rather pay for something the state will "gift."
So much so that have already arisen
chains of schools that take advantage of technological advances, looking more like an MBA than a traditional school to offer more and better for the same price. This is another example of how freedom there is no experimentation or innovation.
propaganda perpetuated by the regime itself, tells us that without an education system controlled and managed centrally, nominally mandatory and free, the poorest
not receive education. Is false. Historical experience shows and thousands of examples show today. Private education, either free or for profit, it is better for
rich and the poor .
Who is good public education
? For those who invented them. Dictators and propagandists who unashamedly confessed,
is there primary sources, that its purpose was to inspire common values: patriotism, militarism, obedience ... whatever it takes to remain in power. Today this translates to transmit the dominant ideology, or "social priorities" fashion. What we do not support the ideologues and technocrats is that they are families who decide they want to transmit values \u200b\u200b... will not go wrong.
Ever wondered why you have the methods of study are so similar to those of 200 years ago?
