One thing to point out here is that these scholarships are ONLY going to be needed for the people that can't afford the 1-2K USD or so per child per year to pay tuition. I of course feel that will be a VERY small set. Way under 1% of the population. Most people pay a fair bit m Blowing all your money on bass boats and not having any to spend on your kids education is neglecting your fiduciary duty to your ward (a child is a minor and you are beholden to it, you decided to bring it into the world, until he or she is old enough to fend for him or herself) which might get you some jail time, in Libertopia. The STATE doesn't owe you an education. Your parents do. (reminder, NYC spends 10K a child, and the schools aren't the greatest. My district spends about, I think, 4.5K per child per year and it is truly a Cadillac of education. Just goes to show you that even among publicly provided goods, some governments are better at managing money than others. Consider how much cheaper you actually can get an education for if you inject a little healty competition.. most charter schools in Michigan are doing fine on 2.5K and we haven't even begun to see what efficiency actually is out there) Larry Pieniazek larryp@novera.com http://my.voyager.net/lar - - - Web Application Integration! http://www.novera.com fund Lugnet(tm): http://www.ebates.com/ ref: lar, 1/2 $$ to lugnet.

(...) 1-2K can't buy an education. That's not enough for books, other educational tools, and rent/maintenance on the school building, let alone pay for teachers as well. Unless you're talking primary education. (...) Bass boats? (...) Oh yeah, that (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) More questions I'm afraid :) Using this premise, does the child have a right to expect an education from their parents? And if the parents default on that duty - would the child suffer? (As I understand it, one of a Libertarian state's duties (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) You think that's a _good_ thing? You think a child in "early childhood" is qualified to make the choice of not only profession, but even lifelong employer? Sounds like slavery, by any other name. Aside from that, you think that corporations (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
