Nor are children the property of the parents. Parents have responsibilities to their children. One of those responsibilities is education. Not providing a good education is neglect, which is child abuse.
And which specially privileged, godlike class of individuals gets to say what a "good" education is for your children, at the expense of your right to decide that?
Someone who doesn't know how to mind their own damn business, that's who.
You can always homeschool. What you can't do is fail to provide any education at all.
A group of people who are experts in different important subjects and can determine which of these subjects are essential for kids' later development. It really isn't that hard of a prioritization either. As the child grows older, you can slowly give the kids more choices in this.And which specially privileged, godlike class of individuals gets to say what a "good" education is for your children, at the expense of your right to decide that?

Preventing child abuse has very little to do with a "nanny state". MYOB is not a good practice when it comes to child abuse. And not providing a good education is child abuse. Many parents are not able to provide education, which is why it is a good idea to forbid homeschooling. The detrimental effects of bad home-schooling is already sufficiently clear in homeschooling communities.Really? Well the other poster is talking about a "good" education, so who gets to say what that is?
In some Western countries, do you realize you cannot homeschool, it is illegal?
Either way though, you've got to know your place; it isn't in other people's homes dictating to them how to raise their kids.
That's something social conservatives and progressives alike need to learn: MYOB.
A child, like an adult, should not be dictated how to live their life by a nanny state.
Yes, we need to teach our young people all the science and all the evolution we can. Because science and evolution help to confirm that the Bible is accurate and true. Evolution helps us to better understand our Bible and the work God is doing in our lives.Should Schools be Required to Teach Evolution?http://www.christianforums.com/t7684703/
Your going to need more then just evolution if you want to get a degree in science. Your going to need physics, chemistry and all that. Evolution is the easy stuff compared to the other classes you will be taking.A student needs to have a basic understanding of what evolution is and is not when they get to university. A Biology 101 course should not be a remedial course that has to start from scratch.
If your talking public schools then education is the governments business. I have nothing against private schools if you can afford it. But it's expansive. I know someone that was paying $100,000 a year. He had four kids in school. Two in public and two in private.What is the government's business?
Just what classes do you have to take to be a Biologist?

Here in Scotland, it's pretty much "just" biology once you are at uni. I personally also took some maths and stats, geology and programming because I felt like it. Oh, and I did something called Science Methods, which is part critical thinking, part philosophy of science, and it's great.If your talking public schools then education is the governments business.

I don't quite understand the joke...Evolution should be taught in public schools, and it should be a required subject for every child. All should be tested until they demonstrate that they fully understand it. They then should be made to affirm by signature that they believe it.
