also I think there's a difference between what you call 'cultural celebration' and nationalism. I personally believe that it is important for everyone to be aware of the history of their country, especially having studied archaeology in this context.
My studies have led me to believe that it is less the 'cultural celebration' which is the problem, and more the politicians that seek to manipulate this information to their own ends, just like statistics and any other kind of information.
As long as politicians/people have the power to withold information/ emphasise that which they choose, we will always face these problems.
When you refer to the hindu culture I assume you would take the situation at Ayodyah as a recent example. But this was an example of the above, as key archaeological information was witheld that could have avoided the ensuing riots and loss of life.
To ignore the history of a country will not fix things at all. After all it is only by knowing what happened during WW2 that everyone takes fascism so seriously.
Sorry if I've misunderstood your words, and I seem to have gone a little bit off topic

So my English teacher had a degree in English. My Biology teacher had degrees in bio and chem. My physics teacher a M.S. in physics. My math teacher had his Ph.D. in math.
Can a parent be all these?

A new type of self-governing school authority, a "trust", will be created, which can oversee individual schools or a mini-chain of schools. These can be run by successful schools or outside providers, such as universities, businesses, faith groups or community groups.
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

And don't even mention "freedom of speech", I know it exists but this is wrong.

Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.

Also maybe if a kid with 11 year's of SCHOOL education can barely read and write, that could be telling us all something about the school system. I done catering last year at college
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

But you yourself have said, thumperabbit, that your education is possibly not up to the same standard as some people who have come out of school. A post later you're saying that it's better. Which is it?

I met a man who told me he'd home-schooled his daughter in his own, Christian fashion, and she had absolutely no contact with non-Christian kids, alcohol and other drugs, until the day she met some people, went to a club, got drugs in her drink and got date-raped.

And, IMHO if someone can't read and write by the time they are 16 then either the kid is mentally deficient or their parents SUCK. Any school, no matter HOW bad, could teach a child to read and write.

But maybe our tolerance of non-white peoples, our abolishment of segregation (i forgot what the proper word is, apartheid or something) and everything that we hold as right and good makes them sick.
Now, i'm not saying that their view is right, or ours is wrong. But i can't say that ours is right and theirs is wrong.
That'd take me to the same level as all the people that we're talking about here.

The problems with Home tutoring, as I see it, are mainly the following:
Too much time spent with parents, so no other role models are available.
Parent will consciously or unconsciously affect the child's choice of subjects. e.g. I hate maths, so obviously my child wouldn't be focusing that much on it.
Too much social isolation. You aren't exposed to other people's views/opinions.

Too much time sitting in a classroom with just one teacher, as opposed to being out experiencing the real world and meeting different kinds of people.

The problem comes when comparing two conflicting viewpoints, devoid of any social situation. Or, in differing situations. One person who believes killing people is okay, one who doesn't (simplified example, and probably really easy to pick to pieces, but quick and easy to hopefully explain what i mean). In normal, day-to-day life, the first is not good. But, in a wartime situation, it is.

Our view on racism is socially accepted as right. Equal opportunity is a good thing, lack of racism is a good thing.
Would that be different had hitler won the war?
