I think you’re wrong about the public schools.
The problem with them is that WE have surrendered them to the communists. WE should take them back, from the states and Feds.
Demand that tenure be removed.
Decertify the unions.
Start setting the curriculum locally. Return them to teaching the things that matter to US not what their silly common core standards are.
Refuse the state aid, and federal aid, and thus refuse their testing, their standards, and enforce real discipline.
To simply remove your kids only makes it easier for them to destroy other peoples kids, and turn THEM into democRATS.
I prefer to choose my battles. Public schools are unnecessary. I would very much prefer to home-school my children. It brings the family much closer together and also enhances the children’s social skills and feelings of self worth.
And with the MIT online courses and Khanacademy.org., public schools really are a relic, even if teaching the way we want them to. Even if teaching the way we want them to, they serve no purpose other than to feed the children of the poor and give us free daycare. I don’t want my children raised by someone else.
At this point, "fighting the power" is merely pissing into the wind. People who are abandoning public schools are attempting a flanking maneuver rather than a headlong assault against overwhelming odds. All we can hope for now are little harassing guerrilla victories. The war is lost.
