I don't see how could it be overrated. It's important and enjoyable, I'd actually say it's underrated by the "rules" people make up of how it should be to be good and enjoyable when it's good enough without making it so complex and complicated.
Values can only change, not disintegrate because values disintegrating would imply that there is only one set of values, and no other. If they lose value, nothing gets it, and that's wrong. Other things are more valued now than others, it's just a change, not a disintegration.
There's always a difference between rich and poor children.
The rich children may not be able to wear better clothes, but they will have better jewelry, better phones, more money in their pocket, better shoes, and after all, they can simply discuss the matter.
Though, why do people try so hard to erase the differences?
Our society is divided by classes, and no matter what we do, we can never ever change the fact that as long as there are classes and differences between them, those differences WILL affect our children and children are members of social classes just as older people are.
Maybe it is not ''fair'' to the poor children, but life isn't fair and they will learn that, you can't shelter anyone from reality so why bother.
No.
I believe that if there is an actual threat the school can call the police and let them handle it.
But the school itself, as an institution, should not have the right to search a student's backpack. For no reason should the school have the right to search anyone - it would be the same as you going into someone's house and them searching your bag. Would that be ok? No, well this isn't ok either.
That's like saying people who believe they have a cookie, really have a cookie. People who don't, you can't really change their perspective unless they want it to change.
Implying that they'd have a cookie once they believed they do, just because they believe.
But of course, believing you have a cookie won't make the cookie real and existent, just like believing you don't have a cookie won't make it go away.
Being skeptical does mean you won't trust many people - but it doesn't mean you won't trust anyone. Skeptical people still have a small circle of people they trust, and that is the best really, certainly better than just trusting anyone and everyone.
There are people who don't respect religions in general, and so what? Most people don't respect things they find ridiculous.
Plus, in order to respect something, it needs to be worthy of respect, and many people would say that religions, in general, are not.
Parents work to earn money. If they want to use that money to provide better education for their children, why not? I'm not communist. I believe everyone should get what they earn, and be able to spend it as they wish. If a person earns money, and then has a kid - they're going to be able to give that child much more than the people who don't earn as much money. Maybe it's not "fair", but such is life. My child is going to live in a big house with plumbing, yet some children in Africa live in huts with no clean water. Is it fair? Absolutely not. Am I going to send off my child to a hut with no clean water? Absolutely not. So, private schools are just fine. Not everyone is born in the same conditions. And even if it's not really "fair" to them... It's a part of life - some kids are born in rich families, some in poor. Everoyne uses the opportunities they have, and equal opportunities aren't really fair, anyway. So, I'm for private schools. It wouldn't be fair to the parents who worked to not be able to give their children what they want to give them just because someone else can't.
