Something something politicians are careerists. It depends what you mean specifically by "education reform" but an aggressive shift toward charter schools, for example, is still political suicide.

Fuck off, socialist. Investing in education is a waste of money. Not everyone needs to be "educated". A true education is anarchic.

decent bait

Do cucks actually think we should slash the military and fund education? Are they so naive that they think this isn't a shitty shitty world where people will kill you if they have the chance? Why the fuck would you give someone that chance? All the places that are bastions of education are only that way because either they have a good military or have someone who does protecting them.

How would you spend the money?

>Why don't we take education reform seriously?

Well, what do you mean by reform? What is the purpose of education? Are the means required to pursue those ends moral? What are the negative effects of that reform? People disagree on what the answers to those questions are, and this disagreement is the reason why political reform is so slow and difficult.

>we could spend as much on education as we do on military, in one generation we would see changes never before witnessed

Is it the role of the State to fund and control education like they do with the military? And if so, in equal measure to the military budget? Does increasing the amount of money we put into public education produce any quantitative benefit, and if so, how much? And at what trade-off is the price too much? etc etc

also, military funding supports our best schools! MIT, Columbia and Stanford, just to name a few, all benefited enormously from DOD and other defense spending. This is what people don't get about the United States. We spend tons and tons of money on the military, but we do it in ways that "trickle down" into civilian life and benefit everyone. It's pretty ingenious really, and maybe part of the ingeniousness of it is that most people don't even see that's what we do!

I don't think so. Many I've encountered on the "left" are aware of our adventurism abroad and understand we'd get rekt if we downsized the military. I think the logic is to generate more revenue rather than cut military spending.

Hypothetically speaking I would begin by first making it perfectly clear that an education reform policy would work and the reasons for it working would be self evident to everyone i.e. everyone would be on the same page that this shift will make changes for the better for everyone. Scientifically back research blah Bubba

The next point would be a complete receding from all foreign countries and an entire 20 year policy of apologizing for whatever military funding is not correlated to military defense as much as offenses. It would have to be clear that we were stopping the trend of bringing Weston to mocker C to different countries it would have to be a complete isolationist move the wood on the one hand be absolutely defense tight and that would have to be self evident to everyone. But on the other hand by slashing find attacks by slashing the money that goes to foreign countries to advance American military intervention, that slashing would save so much money on top of the money that would've otherwise been invested into it .

Off the cuff response take it or leave it

Because I highlighted the difficulty in enacting sweeping reform is due to fundamental disagreements and not a lack of interest in the problem? And because I'm a conservative who thinks the Department of Education ought to be eliminated altogether :^)

>>9570519
Exactly!
Behind every form of bureacratic questioning lies the very undoing of the political action required to carry out such reforms.

95% of the population is composed by a bunch of idiots, if you want to improve "education" just keep this bunch of tards at school for a minimum amount of time so they can learn how to read and do basic math, like 2~3 hours a day, and pick the other 5% and invest the money that you saved on them. Give the 5% the best structure, teachers, psychological assistence and etc, with this, you will improve the overall quality of the "educational system".

More School doesn't mean necessarily more quality.


And leave the librarys public and opened to everybody, just in case you missed some genius or to throw on the idiots faces that the oportunity is there.

Scandinavians only play the perfect world role cause NATO and US is protecting their asses. Cause otherwise, they would have to put more effort on their personal defenses.

>librarys
what percent group are you in?

It's already been shown that more education isn't the magical solution to all social problems because you increase the qualified workforce without actually increasing the amount of available work. People remain poor and unemployed and inevitably a chunk of them will still turn to crime or welfare to survive.

republicans :^)
