Default Re: Time to write off public education?

Narrowly-focused people are less fundamentally useful than broad-based people.

Broad based education makes for more adaptable people.

Interesting. This is the kind of statement that one usually hears from liberal socialists who support public funding of education because it creates access to opportunities that private school only would not, and then ultimately everybody benefits from having these "more adaptable people" around.

Deep down inside you are a statist. If you wish, I can arrange some sort of ceremony under which you can be "born again" as a liberal democrat. FEEL THE POWER OF PIERRE TRUDEAU, MY BROTHER! FEEL THE TRUTH OF TOMMY DOUGLAS!
