(11,187 posts)the public school system then I have a major problem with government taking my tax dollars for "education." All taxation relating to education should be then be eliminated so that parents can use their money to fund their children's education. Imagine if people came together to form education co-ops to educate their children. The 99% could take away the government's ability to make K-12 education a profit based business.
Education based co-ops could be funded with money and an exchange of goods and services for those who are poor. It would also forces parents to become more involved in their children's education and promote less waste. Teachers could contract with different co-ops to teach specialty classes like general science, biology, chemistry, or foreign languages. Teachers could take back the ability to really teach and help children. Payment to teacher could be monetary or in goods and services. A parent might not have much money but they might know how to roofing, plumbing, electrical work, etc.
It all becomes a matter of learning how to play the game better then the Republicans, 1%, and Corporations.
