One of the worst forms of hypocrisy..

[Union Yes]

Is when a person who has been educated in the public education system becomes an advocate against public education.

They owe their literacy, their ability to do math, to properly communicate to their public education. Those skills help make them self sufficient.

Public education teaches us how and prepares us to "work for a living".

Conservatives are typically anti-public education even though almost every one of them were educated in the PE system.

Are anti-public education people who are products of the PE system some of the worst hypocrites?

1. Yea! I went to "Samuel Gompers" grade school!

Human Beings need Unions. Simple and Basic

[LARED]

2. Now there is a big problem

Public education teaches us how and prepares us to "work for a living". Gee I hope not.

Also criticizing the institutions that taught you in no way make you a hypocrite. I was educated in the PE system and without question the PE system has problems.

3. The public education I got decades ago

was leaps and bounds better than the public education students get today.

I was literate before I was ever in formal school, so they can't claim credit for that... and the breadth of my vocabulary is more due to Tolkien than all my English teachers combined (I made it through The Simarillion, dictionary in the other hand, in 2nd grade).

I have recently been in the position to hire someone to help me with my work. I was able to eliminate fully half of the applicants on literacy deficiency alone.

When 50% people applying for work can't even write an introductory letter that doesn't advertise their inability to read and write their primary language correctly, that is a serious problem that it does no good to deny or ignore. And I live outside DC, the most allegedly educated (per capita) region in the US, if not the world.

The scary part is that most of them were college graduates, too. What did these people get for their money?
