Does schooling do what we think? NO!

It is precisely because they are not capable of making potentially damaging decisions. Sure, their parents should take their opinions into account, but it is the parents job, not the childs, to make the decisions about their education.

Nothing goes over my head.

Joke or otherwise.

The "writer's" comment was not about children being wise, intelligent and educated enough to make their own decisions about anything important.

It was about the school system providing more choices for children.

My goodness.

Talk about going around in obsessive circles.

My last reply was in response to you BA, and not the OP. Do try to follow the conversation as a thread, wont you?

I submit to the forum that FA is confused.

No.

Not at all.

No pot here.

Just a member of CC determining that you are confusing even your own self.

If I were you, I'd quite while I was behind so as not to embarrass myself even further.

Since that came from the one person that misunderstands every comment made, Ill just chuckle at it.

Now, interesting question for you. Do you think that a sixth grader is capable of making educational decisions that will dramatically effect their future progress?

Like I said, this thread isn't about children making their own educational decisions.

Apparently, you cannot comprehend the written word.

I'll just chuckle at it.

No, but Writer's comments were about children making educational decisions for themselves, and it was that to which I was replying. You have to read the whole thread BA.

Writer's comments were not about children making educational decisions for themselves.

You have imagined that they were.

You have to read the whole thread, FA.

However, even if you do read the whole thread, I'm certain that you will still misunderstand/misinterpret it.

Cause that's what you do best.

Again, writer's comments were not about children making educational decisions for themselves.

So, then, FA.

We are clear, eh?

Writer's comments were not about children making their own choices, but rather that the school system provide children with more choices.

Good.

Glad we have ascertained that you misinterpreted that which writer wrote.
