Subtle propaganda for diverting public school funds to segregated private schools through vouchers.
Thereby further weakening unionized teachers, and the middle class as a whole.
Fuck Linda McMahon and Betsy DeVos
Haha because our school system failed the entire generation, get it, because that’s funny
Not even subtle, just a garbage cash grab by people who want to divert public school funding into private hands.
is this a comic for elitist cum socks?
What is socks 🧦 ?
baby don’t hurt me
No, but what does that mean ??
a cum sock is a crusty sock that guys masturbate with and cum inside.
not to be confused with coconuts.
What has that got to do with coconuts ?
hate to tell you this, but for me private Catholic school was way worse than public school would’ve been.
My high school focused on football and discipline. my friends went to arts and sciences magnet schools, engaged their passions, and found like-minded friends.
I had to take summer school to catch up to public high school math after my K-8 catholic school
Education is a means of control.
Oh debianastro made an alt account, or an alt instance. That explains how this got past my block filter.
It took me a second because, confusingly, our “public schools” are what much of the world would simply call private schools. These are the super posh schools like Eton or Harrow.
So is it different at Eton and Harrow ?
In the UK the two main categories for schools are private schools and state schools.
“Public schools” are, unintuitively, a subset of private schools, typically the very old very posh ones.
The term is archaic, but refers to the fact that they weren’t run by the state or by the church - i.e. they were run by the public. Of course, this refers to a board of governors made of the super-wealthy, not the average man on the street.
Eton and Harrow are particularly famed for churning out people who end up as Prime Ministers and other high-ranking officials. It’s not just the money, but the connections you build there as well. They’re also famed for churning out borderline psychopaths who literally think the rest of the world is there to cater to their comfortable lifestyles.
LOL I went to an ultra conservative private Baptist Christian school. There were barely any choices for classes, basically split between “stupid” kids and “smart” kids. I missed out on a lot of opportunities during my childhood. The main things I was qualified for after graduating were going to Bible college, Liberty University, or retail work.
What the hell is a “Liberty University”? Do I even want to know?
What is the broad difference between “public” and “private” education ??
In the 2002 context? No Child Left Behind was being implemented, which was essentially a foot in the door for privatizating every aspect of education so long as the students could pass standardized test scores. This implemented the conditions of today where public education funds are funneled to private operations while accepting private grants to guide and govern curriculum.
What you say is that education is basically a game for the policy makers.
In the sense that education is an adversary to the right wing, yes. The right wing treats those things as games. ‘It is their right to play’ as the saying goes.
