I agree with Mencken. Once you do that you have no alternative than to eliminate government schools. They are filled with idiot teachers and administrators. Either they all need to be replaced or an alternative must be used to teach children. I homeschooled my children as that was the alternative twenty years ago.
20 years ago I quite my career to become a stay at home mom.
Volunteered daily at my kids school and homeschooled them after school. They had Algebra down by the end of the 3rd grade. (Now one is an MD and the other a PhD in AI. Was sooo worth the pay cut!)
Things in public schools have gone down hill major ever since.
