ArchivesRe: Sociology!
in reply to a message by Anneza
the problem i see is that men and women are less likely to use feminine names for their male children, while we increasingly use male names for females. what will happen when there are no names left?

I believe that evolution is a circular process, and that in another thousand years we'll all be back to grunting, and calling people by going "Ugh" and pointing! The way spoken English is degenerating proves this. :P (Really, I'm creationist. But it's something to chew on! :D)

"The way spoken English is degenerating proves this."
I know. >.< (Just spoken? I'd think written is even worse. As a teenager I feel weird saying it, but grammar really needs to be taught in schools. ;_;)
Ooh, but then we get to be amoeba. Cool beans.

Just another good reason to homeschool! :) (You know, when you homeschool, you have to KNOW the stuff! So you can use it correctly six months/years/decades later.)

Hm . . .
Maybe for my hypothetical kids. ^_^ Or one of those fun schools with no classes and no homework where you choose what to study and go as fast or slow as you want . . . *_* That's my idea of heaven.
Let's see. So homeschoolers have to know things really well, and thus they learn and remember. Students who choose what they learn and teach themselves want to know it, so they learn and remember. Kids in the majority of schools that I know of do neither often. What's wrong with this picture?

THAT'S Heaven!!!!! i think every kid wishes it, but if you think of the kids that would abuse that situation, the world would be run by barbaric people. But that's a wonderful idea of heaven!!!! i wish my school was like that any way!!!!

Yeah, really! But what about the teachers? There you'd have to homeschool, or have a tutor/governess. My mom sets me lessons, but I took up Hebrew and AMSLAN (American Sign Language) by myself.

Ah, the kids who would abuse it rarely learn anything in conventional schools anyway; at least, the ones I can think of . . . besides, kids might be a lot more willing to learn and teach themselves if school stopped being the symbol of all evil in our lives. (And for the ones I know, myself included, it *is*.)
It would take more teachers. But--I think even a program like that with the same number of teachers currently going would be better than the school I'm in now. It wouldn't be ideal, but considering the current situation treats education like a job and a competition . . . how much worse can it get (aside from not having free education)? That was a bad question. It can get a lot worse. ^^;; But it can also get a lot better. . . .
