And we just cannot understand why a normal person would want to go to school.
Although I'm guessing the Russian schools were vastly superior to our schools, as are schools in most other countries, this lady has a great idea for our students. IMO, homeschooling is the ONLY way for a child to get a good education in the U.S. We are at the bottom of the test scores from the international math and science tests, yet the education weenies don't learn from this data - of which there is much - and continue their liberal agenda. Private schools can't be much better, since their teachers are educated the way way as public school teachers and since most private schools just love their tuition money - and wouldn't get much if they were very far ahead of the public school students they try to attract.

You are correct.
I don’t know that Russia is any better, for they do a lot of brainwashing too.
In the 1950’s I also had trouble with my daughter in the schools, some said she was bored and too smart to sit there all day, maybe, but she brought home the worst grades.
