Is being a good parent WORTH not giving your kids a good education?? My parents made sacrifices to send us to Catholic schools, including driving 45 minutes each way, sometimes 2 or even 3 times a day!!

My point is that we should not have to pay to send our children to private schools. These public schools are our schools, paid for with our tax dollars. The fact that so many conservatives have simply given up and resorted to private schooling or home-schooling is part of the reason our public school system has been taken over without a fight by liberals inculcating American children with social nonsense and an inability to compete with even Third World nations in mathematics and science.
I completely understand the desire to make sure that one's children receive the best education possible, and doubtless it will pay off when they grow up. But they'll grow up to become well-educated citizens of a ruined nation populated mostly by fools who learned nothing but some left-wing bromides in public schools. Concerned parents - especially those who can't afford to send their children to private schools - need to become more involved in the education system and fight nonsense like Common Core.

And by the way, any private school which accepts any federal funding (for instance, through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is also subject to Common Core standards.

My parents made sacrifices to send us to Catholic schoolsMany Private and religious schools have adopted Common Core curriculum because the "smarter or nwea" testing alignes with college testing. Also they are going after home schoolers so don't throw that in.
No where to go so we ARE fighting it.
