Throwing money at the education problem isn’t the answer. Never was. Never will be. When you hire teachers who are lazy and more stupid than the students then don’t expect your schools to rise to acceptable levels. When you shove ridiculous CORE cirriculums at kids, that may be why the kid studied his butt off and still couldn’t solve a simple algebra problem without showing 47 steps on three pages. When you have parents who don’t make sure their kids did their homework and handed it in on time, well, you’re going to have failing schools.
Otherwise known as “after schooling” by the parents and kids.
The school sends home the curriculum and expect the kids and parents to do the **really** hard grunt work of schooling and learning in the **home**!
Every academically successful institutionally schooled child that I have ever met has spent **more** time doing homework than my homeschoolers spent all day. Seriously! And....My kids were finished all general college courses and calculus 3 by the age of 15. Two finished B.S. degrees in mathematics by the age of 18.
No studies have ever been done to show where an institutionally schooled child learns ( home or school) , or who is doing the teaching ( parent, paid or unpaid tutors, or the child himself).
It is entirely possible that we spend up to $30,000/year/ child on government schooling that may be completely **worthless**. It is entirely possible that the only thing schools do is send home a very **expensive** curriculum!
