This sounds really pretentious...but it aint... I just respect the blokes opinion......
HH The Dalai Lama says that no matter how much the costs, education is the key to social progress .... so no matter how much it costs its what y do. Make kids cleverer and they dont mess up like we did.....
I came from a socialist system that paid for me to have the best education path I could be provided with. I ended up with a masters degree.....
for FREE. Now the same costs you a debt to HM Gvt of about £20K payable in easy 20 year installments. A lesson we learned from the USA.
My education from cradle to bar stool was paid for by taxation and a belief that educating muppets makes for a stronger society. Thats English Socialism for you.....
Here in La La Land I pay whatever it costs to send my (loose adpotion) kids to a good school. Id rather they went to a UK university bit frankly thats a daydream. No matter what I pay the eduation is by rote and not by mind. Anyway.... back to my point.....
NOW......
here its understandable.... its a developing country.
In my country mate this is a
dumb argument. Not many but even the lowest can get into Oxford on a scholarship care of the pay back state.... I got the last of a socialist education and a masters for FREE. Yanks look North and ask " Hey why the hell havent we got free medical and free goodish schools for all? Their kids aint shooting up the library...why the hell are ours?????"
Dont you think there is something gone badly wrong with a state set up by som of the greatest aetheist intellectual scholars....managed by some of the best examples of man......
where now only the rich get educated?
sorry mate.... I just fancy an intellectual cut and thrust.... and Im dancing with Ms Chang....
even sober I think the Us education system is messed up tho
