“[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin

"[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever.  But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with."

--Ronald Reagan

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924)

Are You a Greedy Businessman? (part 2)      By Theresa Fritz Camoriano

In part 1, we realized that, if we consider our households to be businesses, most of us are greedy businessmen, trying to sell our products and services at a high price while seeking low prices for our purchases.  Of course, in a free market, this works out just fine, with buyers and sellers haggling and keeping each other honest, so our greed does no harm and in fact provides the goods and services people want and need at a reasonable price.  But what if we could rig the system for our personal benefit in order to profit even more?         (click to read more)

Will Buffett’s billions transform education or be wasted?         By Bob Williams

Warren Buffett is giving more than $30 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has education reform high on its list of priorities.

How the Gates Foundation invests these new funds can either transform education or do nothing to improve what has become a crisis of low student achievement in our nation’s public schools. The Gates and Annenberg foundations have already invested more than $2 billion trying to improve public schools, with no appreciable return on their investments.          (click to read more)

Which 'ism' do you want?       By Henry Lamb

Before making a choice, the terms should be defined:

Socialism: government ownership and control of the means of production and distribution of goods; grants or denies rights to individuals.

"A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."-- James Madison
