Is education demand determined, or should some “Philosopher kings” Decide, • Education is on investment for social mobilityy. Education without Opportunity Is useless and painful?, • Parente ore voting for education with their resources. Are we taking that into account when mandating education, • The poor should not have to pay with their time and effort to satisfy someone else ideas of citizenship and nationalism • Should education be the regimentation of the 20th century, Finland and Robinson are arguing for a new paradigm. Is education merely school attendance and compulsory textbooks?
