Ron Paul Writing Education Manifesto

[green73]

New School Manifesto will be released by Grand Central on September 17.

According to GC, the book will be “a focused guide to Dr. Paul’s position, which centers on a strong support for home schooling and free market principles applied to education. He makes the case for individual freedoms as they pertain to educating our children, and nimbly dissects the most pressing issues that need to be addressed from the libertarian point of view.”

New School Manifesto will also provide a history of American schooling and a critique of what gas gone wrong.

The problem is that what we actually have are government controlled markets and multinational corporations assuming the rights and constitution as if they were an individual and running amuk. Of course then there is the recent spew regarding the H1-B too which hopefully sheds some logic on what surmises apples and oranges. I've always disagreed with Ron on education though. I think he tends to ignore, almost excuse, the citizenship meme these multinationals are pulling off while lobbying government and then shipping jobs overseas...after hiring foreign aquisitions.

There is nothing relative to the transitioning infrastructure that can be applied in a home school setting. Maybe if the child's future is destined to run the family business or whatever but other than that most parents are the product of an obsolete time. Their world view is limited to what they understand. We need scientifically literate students to compete in the coming years. I think he's dead wrong about the importance of the space program as well. Almost seems like a reflection of the failures from the Apollo program whereas education that could have been applied from it was tossed aside in favor of marketing plastic junk through China and the like. Is almost a repeat phenomenon of the flawed logic of the previous generation.Space program is where the bulk of transition in education is premised upon. We need to get that right this time around.

To try to use technology and it's many benefits in a manner that favors the building of economies of foreign countries like some representatives seem to be trying to repeat is dangerous and certainly does not serve our country's best interests in scope.

Either way though, I'll look forward to reading what he has to say. My opinion is just my opinion.
