The positive piont is the lower costs for text books and expandible curriculum. however it make it easier for the materials being studied to be poorly vetted. most of the curriculm today has embeded collectivist philosophy i.e. socialism. this is propogated in math, sciences history and social studies with out any real classical western thought to balance it out.

I am sure we will hear the ” what about the poor” from the statist, but at this rate of gov’t spending we’ll all be poor soon enough.
