You could have saved some typing and just said “I disagree with you. Oh, and I’m a jerk.”

I’m not against home schooling and public schools need major work.

Almost everyone you meet and work with is from a public school; your Dr, the engineer who designed the bridge you drive over, the cop and the fireman.

For anyone to argue that they don’t benefit from public education is stupid.

So that makes it right. I love people that justify their theft.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Correlation is not causation. For example, nearly everyone you do business with has eaten potatoes. Does that mean we should have socialized potatoes because there would be no doctors or engineers without access to potatoes?

But...Seriously, where are the studies that PROVE government schooling actually teaches children anything? You can’t provide them because they have NEVER been done.

What a child learns IN THE HOME due to parental input, the child’s own work, and formal and informal tutoring from friends, family, and paid tutors has NEVER BEEN MEASURED!!!

Got it? NO ONE knows if government schools really teach anything! They may very well may merely be sending home a very very very EXPENSIVE curriculum for the parent, child, and tutors to follow IN THE HOME!!!

It seems stupid to me, to spend a universe of money on a socialist-entitlement program that has NEVER been proven to work!
