Sorry I probably didn't get the thrust of your first message and then everyone else just seemed to follow on from the comment I made about schooling...
Now your follow up question has stumped me even more...
"All of a sudden things posters have presented as alternatives, i. e, to how the present status quo maintains an obvious double standard, (which is why some advance at the expense of others), those alternatives are either being abandoned (or others have forgotten all about them)?"
I'm sorry, but I just don't get what you're asking really - its my fault, not yours, I'm just a bit dim - but could you like put the question into some like concrete example of what you mean?
