RE: More Perspectives on Progress
Firstly if we are modern people we need to agree that we all must be equal ,at least equal
for health , education and justice in this world.As you you know when a person is born ,it has some rights in a social goverment and equal education for everone is one of the duty in the social goverment or country. So actually yes pre-education is responsibility of parents before the school. So i am against to the private schools and education with money.Because this situation influences the justice between the rich and poor children in the begining of the life. Because when someone is born he/she cannot choose his/her family which is rich or poor. So i believe every one must have a good and equal education.Of course
"If you happen to live in a lower income neighborhood and your school is bad, then that's your parents fault for not having done more to put you in a better situation."
Firstly bad neighborhood reason is the poor goverment and poor goverments feeds the people's ignorance . Think the country a body and you want to make this body stronger. If you make legs , your legs will get stronger if you make chest your chest. But these progresses are wrong you need to get your body entirely stronger and also your mind. If you can do then you will be stronger. So the education is one of the constituents that creates the body. Of course that is my idea.
have a nice day my friend...
I don't think that we have a basic human right to education BUT! Under a modern social system, I would agree that there should be a basic level of education that society provides. I would also add that the quality of that education is not required to be the best, but rather it should serve to provide the basic education necessary to become a higher member of society.
That being said, I support private schools for those who can afford them and I expect them to do things far greater than what public schools can afford.
I don't think most people would argue against that, they would only argue around the definition of what "basic education" means.
(FYI, you can use the greater than arrow command to quote things)
I don't think the full reason to why bad neighborhoods exist can be captured in 1 sentence like that. Its not just poor governance, its also a lack of community, and the creation of a community is solely up to the community members.
Its my belief that capitalism pushes capital away from those areas because there is no economic advantage to being there. By that same account, people are responsible for their own success if they are all given the same baseline tools (basic education). The complexity is that there is also social unjustice keeping the poor down. Thats the difficult part.
