Wilber Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 My point is that someone has to educate the population and you can't expect others to do it for you. Ultimately people bear their own responsiblity for the skills they bring to the market. It is not "someone" else's respnsiblity to educate them, that responsiblity lies with the individual. How can a 6 year old take responsibility for their own education? Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC

Renegade Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 How can a 6 year old take responsibility for their own education? Through their proxy, their parents.

Wilber Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 How can a 6 year old take responsibility for their own education? Through their proxy, their parents. So they aren't responsible for the skills they bring to the market, someone else is. We just disagree on who that is. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
Renegade Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 So they aren't responsible for the skills they bring to the market, someone else is. We just disagree on who that is. Yes we disagree. Yes in their early years individuals have their parents act for them in executing their responsibilites. As they grow however, that responsibility becomes the individuals directly. How much of the skills they bring to market depend upon the decisions their parents make vs the decisions they make on their own, is an open question, one I'm not sure can be answered.

I would say anything that involves further formal education at least. If they don't get a basic education they won't be qualified to move on.

Renegade Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 If they don't get a basic education they won't be qualified to move on. Of course. That is why I previously said that it is a parental obligation to make sure their kids get at least a general education.

Sure it is but so is it society's, for its own good but we are repeating ourselves. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
Renegade Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Sure it is but so is it society's, for its own good but we are repeating ourselves. I would agree that it is beneficial for society to provide a means so that parents can fulfill their obligations, but ultimately IMO the obligation still lies with the parents. Yes we are repeating ourselves, so lets agree to disagree.

Wilber Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Yup, we do. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
