"From specifying the general subject matter that must be covered to the specific texts that must be used, most, if not all, of the world??s governments play some role in education. Given that every nation has an innate vested interest in presenting itself in the best possible light and that history has demonstrated those who possess power frequently utilise it to further their own respective agenda(s)"
This seems to be only applicable to textbooks on history and anything that might religiously based. If a government has done bad things in history it probably would be interested in either fluffing how bad they were or even omitting it. And if a government viewed any particular belief/religion as bringing their governance into question one could argue that in an effort to protect their best interest they would try create prejudice towards that belief/religion at an early age such as with what Feb16Aqua as said about evolution vs creationism. I'm divided on both fronts with this only because:
(1) This country is based on separation of church and state. It would only make sense that in public system it would separate Evolution a more scientific based theory over Creationism a more religious based theory. However, to not teach all theories, since they are both theories, is obstructing a well rounded open education on the basis of where we all came from. Just because it is very difficult to prove creationism does not disprove it... technically evolution is not proven as scientific fact... they are both still just 'theories' and I think to omit theories from education is limiting knowledge.
(2) History is only one part of education.... and does not explain why the US in general is under-performing academically.
", is it appropriate for government to be involved in education?"
I most certainly think so. It is in the governments best interest and not in a corrupt way either I will elaborate my position further when I get out of class.
cheers
In my experience it seems as though pisces women end up with the guys that dont treat them like gold. My father a sadge was unfaithful to her rarely treated her like a queen and she still to this day will be the only one she has given her heart to. My mother in all other aspects is very strong women when it comes to him im clueless as to why although i respect him they just were not a good match. So recover and move on to the one who will give their heart to you and the one who will be loyal to you. You dont have to make anyone happy that is their responsibility.
