Your ideal school enviroment

[Ol' Dirty]

I have a few questions to ask the RL community:

1. Would there be manditory public schooling in a Socialist society? Why?
2. What is the ideal learning environment?

Personaly, I think that schooling should be necassery, because really, kids shouldn't be forced to, and aren't quite good at, making long-term academic decissions.

But one must understand that I most certainly don't support the current educational system in the slightest. Curretly, kids aren't learning to their full capacity in traditional schools. What we need are socialized schools, where kids aren't sitting in stuffy rooms, separated from other classmates, sitting behind a grouchy teacher telling them what to think. Instead, we should get kids engaged in their world. Get a freindly, educated, disciplined person, giving kids facts about life, the human condition, and get them outside!

What are your views?

I believe there should be a complusory education system to teach youngsters about the world, teach them to read and simple maths. I think basic language, maths and science should be taught to everyone and everyon should be tested in it.
I think beyond that there should be qualifications for working in certain jobs and such but also educational discussion groups which do not work towards a qualification but instead are there to allow people to expand intellectually.

To me, going to college (not complusory) is a way to gain knowledge and perspective of the world. I study politics, sociology and computing, though computing was just a random subject as I have to study at least 3 subjects. What sucks about college is that its always working towards exams and essay writing and such. Its shite because it doesnt allow me to express my own ideas and discuss theories, its just learning and writing it back down in exams. Although I want good results, I would prefer for college to just be a place to discuss ideas for two years before going into the world of work. Like how some religions send people out into the world or to temples to meditate before coming back into society and working, college should be somewhere for people to go to find themselves, their beliefs, their morals and such and then to prepare themselves for working and go back into society.

compulsory labor, of which mandatory schooling is a particularly demoralizing example, will not exist any communist society.
once again, in such a society, "learning," like "work," will be a dynamic, integrated, and wholly subjective experience representing nothing more than the expression of certain individual desire and inclination; it will not exist a separate, alienated sphere of activity…
