about the class. The rest of us were really interested


And that, I think, is the key point. GEtting rid of those who don't
want to be there (and/or are unwilling to do the necessary work) does
wonders. But then that goes against one of the core tenants of
mandatory schooling...

No Child Left Behind also means that No Child Gets Ahea..

Exactly.....(you got one of the main points of my post)

I notice that Catholic schools seem to be doing a lot better job, and with a
lot less money. And no unions.

If you try to measure survival and evolutionary success in dollars you are
sadly mistaken. For starters, intelligence and wisdom are in no way equated
with financial wealth. Money just begets more money, with or without you.
The trait of greed, the only way to attain more material gain than another
human, is an anathema to survival of the species. The greedy person's only
goal is survival of themselves, not survival of the species as a whole. The
greedy do the utmost harm to everyone else's environment because only their
financial wealth matters to them. They cannot even think nor reason beyond
that concept. They often have to be forced by laws and punishment or
threats of punishment to try to make them even consider the lives of other
humans. They're not concerned with anyone's survival past their own
life-span. The person who disburses their material gains amongst all
equally are interested in survival of humanity, not survival of just
themselves. Nor will they make decisions to harm the survival of others nor
their environment just to gain financially. If you use financial gain as a
yardstick for evolutionary success there will eventually be only one person
left on the planet, whoever is the most greedy. Even your own comments
proving that your desire for financial gain doesn't equal evolutionary
success.


Great post! (I respond not only to thank you for it, but so that
I will include it among all the posts preserved on my web site...;-)


The irony of this is that you are reading it and responding to it in a
medium that was developed by "greedy" people. Without the brains,
initiative, and financial investment of these "greedy" people, you
wouldn't have access to the opinions expressed.

Saw that movie just the other night. Funny, especially the beginning, where
it compares the two couples.
