Charter schools

-

There is only one compelling reason that our socialist-led government wants to do away with charter schools.

That being that they provide a choice for parents and young people who wish to explore an alternativ­e and maybe more suitable form of education.

Alternativ­es to the socialist mentalitie­s are intolerabl­e for another compelling reason. The system loses control and losing control is abhorrent to the socialist mentality.

We had nine years under a Socialist umbrella when we all learned that winning and being a leader in a given field was not desirable, where we played solely to enjoy (ever seen a happy loser?) where personal success that led to reward was not what life was about. Failure – dare I use the word, was soul destroying and must be guarded against as the self esteem would plummet!

These philosophi­es are, as I stated before, short lived as the human mentality thirsts for difference­s.

A successful community, promotes, caters for, celebrates and rewards difference­s.

And that is why our Socialist-led government will do all within its powers to lead us down the paths of mass mindlessne­ss.

Alas the abolition, despite placatory terminolog­y, of charter schools is just one of the tools to attain power and mindlessne­ss of the masses.

Vive la difference.
