"The problem with K-12 education is socialism and the solution is capitalism"

- Peter Brimelow

About this Quote

This quote by Peter Brimelow suggests that the current system of K-12 education is based upon socialist principles, and that the solution to this problem is to embrace a capitalist technique. Brimelow believes that the present system of K-12 education is too focused on providing equivalent access to education for all students, no matter their socio-economic background. He believes that this technique has caused a decline in educational standards and quality, which a more capitalist technique would be more beneficial. Under a capitalist system, trainees would be rewarded for their hard work and effort, and those who excel would be offered greater chances. This would produce a more competitive environment, which would result in greater academic requirements and much better results for students. Eventually, Brimelow thinks that a capitalist approach to K-12 education would be more advantageous than the existing socialist system.
