No free lunch, and free education there?

Several young people (mainly students) created a group to fight for fundamentally new formulation of education in Bulgaria. Because most of them are communist views, one of their main demands is that of free education. In particular, they are fighting for:

• free and emancipatory education

• Higher salaries and scholarships, and strict control of the learners themselves on the money allocated to education

• sharply increase the quality of education institutions

• dramatically improve the condition of facilities, at which point the process of training

• free textbooks and subsidies for food for all students.

It is easy to see that in these applications is very free and pay - higher. He saw him a respected professor at the University, which he described as "misunderstanding." With the familiar argument that "no free lunch", let alone for free education.

Of course, science tells us that every action has a counter, the energy in nature is not lost and the money must come from somewhere. You do not have to graduate to you is clear that in order to teach someone should make him stand. The question is who must withstand the teachers? Only those who study or the community?

The basis for these claims lies the understanding that education and access to knowledge is an inalienable right of every member of society or in the case of every Bulgarian citizen. Regardless of its property, generally speaking, administrative or social status, regardless of its inherently innate talents, everyone should have access to education in the same way as would any other. This is an elementary principle of equalization that would accept everyone, not dividing people and elite trash.

Having thus put the question answer itself emerges. If you want to live in a society that ensures equal opportunities for its members, must ensure that it provides equal access to education. That is, even for someone who was nothing in his pocket and even a thing in my head, the possibility of acquiring knowledge should be the extent to which society can afford. In simple terms, education is something that is paid by all, not those who use it. Otherwise there is no equality.

This egocentrism jumps and starts to squeal "Yes but that someone will learn and will take more money, but I'm paying his education. Is this fair? "On similar reasoning reluctant to be responded to immediately confiscate all the possessions that are not personally made by debit wrestle unfairly acquired.

But let us leave aside the flow and even to leave the communist dreams of youth - it is scary that they have any. Scary would be the opposite. Principle not free - free just because the sun and air - and the ravnodostapno education is even more necessary under capitalism, if he really is a race of equal opportunities for equal rights. This principle of capitalism - competitiveness - seems to contradict the principle of "rich dad" because ... well because when you say "Prince" imagine feminine pale tights and carrying a creature, not a fierce conqueror of new lands and markets. Obviously, the old bait wealth kills competition and it will bastisa "spirit of capitalism" soon, but that is another matter.

On the issue of education, if all people have equal opportunities for education that would ensure fair competition, that is more "free" market. So the state if he wants to be true "minimal state" should ensure that the training of both Antonio Centre, and the Acho of Lyulin, whether their parents are unemployed or with operating (ie, with workers work for them).

However, where there was enough money to come. This statement is also reluctant because money is printed in the mint and you can be printed as you want. The issue is not money: to provide good education to build and maintain buildings, grounds, to be drawn wires, pipes, eat and wear trainers to carry desks, gizmos, books - or will come, that education needs a lot of "uneducated" work. If money is gone, will remain just a job to do and things will come into place.

Even if actual education is free for students and numbers are limited - really zatarchi everyone will become a student? Really the state could not bear this burden? Even in today's "free market"? One possible reason to pounce on people education is the unleashing of a subdued love of knowledge in which, as I remember what a joy it was getting crazy in the morning for school, made me laugh napushva. Another possible reason is the desire for higher incomes, but they are high because qualified personnel are few. If all the taxi drivers become astronauts, cosmonauts will become taxi drivers, shared by the union of astronauts to the Confederation.

For the anarchist is clear - Anything that can be accessed must be accessible to all, but to become so time has to go to work and not for speculation.

For the anarchist is simply and clearly. The problem is when those wretched children of Mother Nature, who have not yet embraced inarhizma and try to consider the thousands of half a Pocket PC in hand and hand in your pocket computer. Recall task: in capitalism, to allow more goods to more competition. To be more competition, there should be more involved. To have more players have the path to "start" (completion of the exercise) is equal for all, regardless of how much it will rush in - that ravnodostapnost the start, that doctrine. Again, talk to people who are not anarchists, but do not divide people on the "elite" and "scraps" - these are clear, as they speak differently. At this stage of the task becomes scary because poor neanarhichna thought hacking top crown in question: how much it costs and who pays to be ravnodostapno? Obviously, if a dad won one million per year and the education of his only spoiled his written-out one thousand Levs, he is more equal than a mom who is pushing for three hundred a month and the education of three ґ iztarsacheta that looks himself, herself, is published three thousand per year. So rich dad probably have to pay more than poor mother, but how much more? It comes naturally smart country and offers everything to calculate and impose podobovashto - Article 13, paragraph one thousand eight, VAT, excise, vignettes, social, health, pension, mandatory, voluntary, extra garbage tax, property tax, tax dog tax hamster problem solved, however, two less - still no money. Rich dad bought his own school of child and had reported as an expense - the state gets a finger in the form of tax because dad also bought a small school and the Department of Revenue Accounting yourself. Dad is a problem solved, but the problem of the poor mother is twice as heavy. Would state the taxes to which the tax rich dad, as you deduct corruption ґ to increase wages in order to more easily pay their paid public education, but now no where (no corruption) and it must stay one child from school to eat the other two.

That is, the state education system stinks. It stinks because it is in the hands of state and government hands are always shoved up the rear when they are shoved up your pocket. And while the state deals with public things, so will that is private, as we saw, find a hang. The sooner Lose country all the more quickly we will have education and health. Another solution for us not: neither will conquer half the world or we will find one hundred billion barrels of oil under Kaspichan.
