Talk:Freedom of education

message: I would like to let you know that the following four sentences are grammatically incorrect:
** "In principle, anyone or any community can start a school, freedom of education is meant to eliminate any monopoly on education."
** "Alternative schools typically do not enforce compulsory education, but the freedom of families to make their own choices, as to whether or not to send their children to school."
** "The United States the Federal government lacks the right to restrict the freedom of individuals to form schools or define educational curricula."
** "Brown v. Board of Education was landmark supreme case that over turned segregation in schools based on the color of one's skin."
The first sentence could use a semicolon. The last could use an "a" and "over turned" turned into "overturned". The second needs a verb somewhere after the "freedom of families". The third is not correct in its sentence subject. However, I hesitate to make these changes because the rest of the page needs some major work, which I'm not prepared to make at the moment. (For example, the sentence "In the United States, education is fairly important..." does not make sense to me to state since (1) education is more important in the U.S. than just "fairly", and (2) education is important everywhere, not just the U.S., even taking into account the second part of the sentence.) (Good luck getting the stub filled in; it's an interesting entry!) Shazazzily (talk) 02:06, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Freedom of education refers to the right of any person to manage their own education, start a school, or to have access to the education of their choice without any constraints.
Freedom of education is a constitutional (legal) concept that has been included in the European Convention on Human Rights ..
Hmm, given this definition of freedom of education, this cannot be true. Apparently, ECHR has: "No person shall be denied the right to education. In the exercise of any functions which it assumes in relation to education and to teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching in conformity with their own religions and philosophical convictions." And apparently the intention is about government not imposing religious education of a certain religion through state schools - reading a little bit about it, Turkey was such an example. Rights of children, including that to compulsory education are ruled to prevail over such parental discretion as well.. I will remove the first sentence since the rest of the article seems not to be talking about the same thing, the former being much too strong a freedom in comparison to what's actually guaranteed.
