The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is collectivist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children better than you can.
Nobody knows your children better than you do.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!
He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement program.
Excellent Advice! It is absolutely true! John Stuart Mill stated that government schools will only make slaves for the State. Every time!
Never allow government to shape the worldview of your children. They want ‘group thinkers’—in other words, children who are ruled by emotions, will go along with the herd, and have their intellect full of mush and half-truths so they will be irrational-—and fall for whatever the government will tell them-—the Ministry of Truth.
We were warned in 1948 and Brave New World, but no one listened because they were being amused by ‘bread and circuses’ and had no time to tend to the real education of their own children.
