Whinertime I am still waiting for you to respond, since you asekd about studies. And we all know that a truly objective unbiased person would never ignore scientific evidence even it it blows all of their ignorant palaver out of the water. No a real conservative would ever simply ignore the truth when it jumps up and slaps them in the face. especially one that claims to have a medical degree. No that type of person would NEVER ever do that would she.

So?....Where are the studies? How about a link or two?

Actually,....This article reinforces my conclusion that I made due to my anecdotal observations!

Conclusion #1: If every government school were to close tomorrow the same children getting and education today would get one tomorrow. If every government school were to close tomorrow, the same kids NOT getting an education will not get one tomorrow. Why? Because it is IN THE HOME that kid is getting his education. It comes from his parents, from the student's own hard work in home assignments and informal study, and possibly from paid and unpaid tutors.

Conclusion #2: The **real** education and the **really** hard work of learning is happening IN THE HOME. The government school is merely sending home a very expensive curriculum for the parents, child, and possible tutors ( paid and unpaid) to follow IN THE HOME.

If I am wrong please provide the links to the studies that prove me wrong.

Where are the studies that show exactly **where** knowledge is acquired? Is it in the classroom or in the home due to the hard work of **afterschooling** and **preschooling** done by the parents, and by the study done by the child ( both homework and independent study), and help from paid and unpaid tutors.

Where are the studies that prove conclusively **who** exactly is doing the teaching? Is it the parents due to their home habits, afterschooling and preschooling? Is due to the hard work of the child IN THE HOME. How do tutors ( paid and unpaid) factor into the child's acquiring his knowledge?

Without knowing the Where, Who, and How of the child's acquiring knowledge, we can NOT know if the $20,000 to $30,000 spent per child per year is actually buying anything!

But...We do know one thing! Government school workers are quick to take full credit for the hard work done by the parents and child IN THE HOME, and anoint themselves “good” teachers and and grant themselves the standing of blue ribbon schools, but in a nanosecond will blame the family when there is academic failure.

I **know** that as a **professional** government educator you would **never** resort to name calling with one of your students. I know that you would **never** do this with a student who is in an inferior position of power, and not yet full developed emotionally, socially, and psychologically.

Nope, a **professional** government teacher would **never** do this.

( NO sarcasm tag whatsoever!)
