Hi amberpi, everyone should be treated equally, especially in our education systems for children. I would like to believe that this is the case. To teach kids outright that you will not be treated equally seems very defeating. IMHO we all have the same opportunities it just depends on how you choose to take them or what path you take. Everone has bad things happen to them in life. Sorry if I got too philosophical. JMHO.
It was not my intent to get some people so upset about this. This is a subjective topic and warranted good discussion. I respect everyone's opinions.
My only point was "should be equal" and "are equal" even in public school aren't really true; regardless of how we'd like the world to be. I mean, lots of my friends wanted to go to Key West or Italy, but your folks had to pay for those "educational" trips. The resources/opportunities kids who go to private school may be much more significant than the public school kids. I don't know if it's right or wrong to teach kids more about equality or more that the world isn't fair. I know what I do right now, but it could change tomorrow as I try to stay open to other (and hopefully better) opinions.
I love the discussion too though and don't think anyone has their knickers in a twist on this one too much It's a good day in Disland.
