I'd like to see Separation of School and State. It should be a flat rule: tax money cannot be used to education children.
Families should take it as a personal responsibility to make sure their children are educated. Do it yourself. Pay someone to do it. Join a Home Schooling Association -- whatever.
But the government-run schools, and the Teachers Unions, should be basically illegal. Separation of School and State.
Agreed. How can we have the government educate children without the risk (or more likely the certainty) that those children will be taught that government is to be viewed as ever-benign rather than a semi-necessary evil, that anyone who tells others what to do is assumed to be more knowledgeable than the people who actually engage in the productive endeavor? That you’re always assumed to be noble when you’re meddling in the lives of others, backed by the threat of force, while minding your own business and dealing with others on a purely voluntary basis earns you the assumption of selfishness if not lack of integrity?
Such a monstrosity can not be fixed!
Eliminating unions, getting rid of the Department of Education, Locally controlled K-12 single-payer schools....etc....This is like aiming a water pistol at a raging forest fire. It's like pissing in the ocean hoping to warm it up.
Some parents are just too darn stupid to even begin to take responsibility for their children’s education. That just won’t work.
If it is the law that a child must be educated, public schools are a Nation-wide crime. Common core makes everything worse.
