Revolutionary idea on education... what do you think?

isn't it harder to educate people the older they are?Hewkii

As far as I know no.. and I know a lot.

Children are too fragile and easily impressed.. the slightest comment or action could change their life forever. They aren't ready to do anything or learn anything properly until a later age. School should start at 18. We should be getting out of high school at 30. Who agrees? This is the only way to let people decide for themselves what path they want to follow. During these 18 years.. kids could be having fun.. running around.. playing.. you know kids stuff. We are robbing them of their innocence and younger years. Who is with me? Diablo112688

I couldn't disagree more.

What a stupid idea. You gotta teach kids while they're young, and can remember things.frk_of_hrrpltn

Yeah let us take advice from someone who says gotta?..

I am with you but to bad this wont be realized.

Early education=Early force for making money for country.

Lol? I don't see how you came to that conclusion. We would still be the same age... we would still be peers. I actually had some great moments in school.

Are you ****ing serious? Nice, let's point out a slang term I used to discredit me completely! I'm ruined!

How would the kids be raised, with no parents because they would tecnically be in school? :?UTXII

Kids will be fine.. people learn how to survive.

That doesn't mean they'll learn the right way. It could lead to some rampant immorality. Hell, immorality is encouraged in the animal kingdom (morality from our perspective).

That's a terrible idea. The problem isn't that we teach children too much at an early age, but that we teach them the wrong things.

We need an education system that teaches kids to how to learn, and to enjoy learning, rather than just doing what they have to do to get a grade.

Hey, you used two periods after "man"! That's one more than required to indicate the conclusion of a sentence, and one less than what is necessary to form a proper ellipsis!

See how stupid it is to get on someones case for a simple slang term or a misspelling? Just stop, it's immature.

You said you couldn't take me seriously because I said "gotta", then you turn around and make a minor grammatical mistake yourself. By your standards, no one should take you seriously either. Not that they should take you seriously anyway, your idea is utter garbage.

Being on the defensive is always bad kids. Face the fact that I am correct instead of saying, "LOOK AT YOU!!!! YOU DO IT TOO!!!" We can attack me after the first argument is settled. Diablo112688

Being on the defensive is normal in any argument and is no indication of who is right. The idea is inherently bad for many reasons, such as:

you really couldn't use your education for long, given how you need to go through college to get a job (not including grad school, which would exacerbate things).
its been proven that its easier to learn things when young.
school teaches children social skills they wouldn't really learn elsewhere.
since kids are playing all the time (usually physical activities), the lack of school would lead to more anti-intellectual feelings in America/wherever its applied.

Anything else?

Depends on what you mean by slang and where it is you're talking about. I'd say slang is fairly acceptable, given that its sometimes taught in high school language classes. And when did we kill it? Last 50 years? The English tongue can still be used artfully. And what's the idea behind your....idea? If its what I think it is, your idea was horribly doomed from the beginning.
