Just curious, how is the math taught at a private school "inferior" to math taught at a public school?
please provide syllabii to back up your argument.</end quote></div>
The education as a whole was what I was referring to.
Math may not be inferior since there really isn't any religious dogma that contradicts with math.
Biology and history, for example, would be inferior subjects.

I guarantee you a frog dissection is performed the same way at both private and public schools, as well as any recount of the American Civil War.
Take any child out a private school, and pit that child against any child from a public school based on total knowledge earned, the odds are that the privately schooled child will score better on any comprehensive test (SAT/ACT, etc).
That said, there are nonreligious private schools as well, and the same holds true.

Bleh, knowing how many lies were in "Bowling for Columbine" I'd hardly believe what that man has to say about anything.
BTW, he is a fat slob too. I wont call him an idiot, but I wouldn't call his movies documentaries.

I noticed you chose subjects or particular course material that does not contradict religious teaching.
Who would have the superior education in the following subjects:
1. Speciation
2. Cosmology
3. Geology
4. Ontology
5. Philosophy
6. Evolutionary Biology

The SAT contains none or very small amounts of that subject matter. Same for the ACT.
That said, the child in the nonreligious private school would have the more superior education in those subjects.
A child in either a religious or nonreligious private school will score better on a comprehensive exam than their public school counterpart.
Unfortunately, this isn't a religious question. it's a question of whether paying for school nets a better education than public school. The answer is a resounding yes. You might not like the curriculum they teach at a religious private school, but their students will still outperform the publicly schooled counterparts.
That is what is great about the idea of private school/capitalism. If you think the education is inferior at a religious private school - guess what? you don't have to send your kids there! Feel free to send them to a nonreligious private school, and they'll STILL get a better education than the public school.

With that said, I refuse to see this crapfest of a Moore movie. He puts such an anti-US stance on everything he makes, as if he would rather a state without all the benefits of ours. Hell, he basically wants to demolish the Right to Bear Arms. Enough of reason for me to hate him. What he should fight for is better control on crime and criminals, not the tools that they use.
Sure, I know my argument has nothing to do with Sicko, but considering what he did with the movie Bowling for Columbine, and what he did with Fahrenheit 9/11 (never saw it, I admit, as I refuse since I know the premise), I basically will refuse to see Sicko.

Really? So I guess the fact that I scored at the top of my class in both Biology and History in a secular college in the entrance test is a fallacy?
<-- Homeschooled off of a Christian private school program since the 4th grade and in a Christian private school before that.

i'm right about at the end of the movie and i really am enjoying it. it's about how our health care system is jacked up as hell... not the fact that it screws people over who don't have health care but more of how it screws people over who do.
i was pretty shocked about how all these "lesser" countries in the world pwn us when it comes to the standard of care that people get and the responses from the people in those countries about the care they receive.
EDIT: the care given (or not given, actually) to our nation's heroes (9/11 rescuers and soldiers fighting overseas) disgusts me... the fact that they get WORSE care than guantanamo detainees is appalling. i'm not saying the detainees should have worse healthcare because that would just cause more anti-american propaganda amongst the radical islamic world, but it should at LEAST be on the same level.

What got shoved up your child of wonderment?
Where did I ever say my Christian education would be superior to anything? You were the one spouting "inferior education"
And as my (just so happened to be my Bible Doctrines) teacher said, everything comes with an agenda. You'd be a fool to believe it wasn't.
My books were written with the agenda to relate towards God, this forum was made with the agenda of discussing technical knowledge and holding discussions, this monitor I'm using was made with the agenda of Viewsonic making as much profit as possible from my purchase, and public education has the agenda of pressing its secular education as truth. (Which, as much as it just pains your hairy little anus to squirt out, is only a theory at this point ^_^, no matter how emotionally distressed it makes you).
All is an agenda. Are you really so foolish as to believe something doesn't have an agenda?
Though your name belies irony, I could have sworn you were an adult. Am I mistaken?

Remember, that it's just Michael Moore's viewpoint. However, the fact that you cannot even watch it suggests that you are yourself already "brainwashed" by Pro-U.S. propaganda.
