In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:
> All you have highlighted is that there will always be parents who take less interest in their childrens education than others. Hardly a eureka moment. Its probably been like that since Adam and Eve ( I learnt about them at Church LOL
Are you being intentionally naive to play devils advocate? I have also hilighted that the state supports those lucky children more than the unlucky children. I have repeatedly stated this and you continue to ignore it. What about the children who are unlucky? They are being discriminated against on the basis of something over which they have no choice.
> I get it, your an angry man. A club that allows anyone from anywhere of any colour,religion,background free entry doesn't seem to selective to me. Ho hum.
That's because you are still apparently playing at selective listening. The club allows
limited entry based on its capacity. It allows that limited entry to members based not on their merit, but
that of their parents. You still seem utterly unable to conceive of others less fortunate than yourself who are unable to exploit the system as you have.
I am not angry. I am horrified that some people are apparently so blasé and happy that the state actively discriminates against children less lucky and privileged than their children.
That is a morally disgusting attitude.
Yes, lucky you, you are able to do well by your children and in doing so further a system that fails other children. I am not criticising you for this, and have never been. It is the system that is failing other children that appals me, hence my challenging your defence of this. You have some half-baked arguments about why it's acceptable (basically "it worked for me" and "anyone can go to church on a sunday").
> What can I say? Hope you never have to walk in my shoes. Have
And I hope that if I do, or even walk in worse shoes - as many do - that I am still able to see a shit system that discriminates and fails other peoples children for what it is, and that I do not feel a need to defend it, even if I did help my children benefit from it.
