Charlie Mullins, founder of Pimlico Plumbers: “I do regret leaving school at 15, I should have left at 14.” (http://about-us.pimlicoplumbers.com/money-week)
Put me in the camp which says that most education after the early teenage years is a tragic waste of time for everyone concerned.
As for privatisation/socialisation, it’s clear to us in the swivel-eyed corner that taking away the freedom of parents to help their children is reckless social engineering, another symptom of the barbarous desire by statists to drag everyone down to their lowest common denominator.
We now get to enjoy the long-run effects of socialist ideology: mandatory public schooling which bears little practical differences in most instances to day prison, and a university system which is a black hole for public funds and whose graduates are generally unable to get jobs requiring any skills which a 16 or 18 year old does not possess (if they are even capable of getting one of those jobs).
Looking forward to the collapse and rebirth of the educational system from scratch.
