Go to private schools then. Maybe that’ll force public schools to change. But probably not.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Public teachers are some of the most entitled people in America.

Voters should push for school choice. Your tax money should go to schools you choose, not government schools controlled by unions.

Technology is not a complete solution, but a great deal of education can be delivered through technology, at least for certain kids. Very cost effective. The unions will never support anything which is cost effective.

Michigan is one of the most legally free states for Homeschooling.

Parents should seek their options for Homeschool or Online school pods or some other workaround.

America’s Public Education System Is Collapsing

Struggling a bit to see the downside of this, given what the public education system is turning out these days.

Long term, this is awesome news. In the short term, not so good news as its the poorer kids who will get the shaft.

A total collapse of the Public Education System could only be a good thing. It serves as a propaganda mmil and a malevolent day care system.

Public education is a farce.

Its just another bloated public bureaucracy, with a twisted ideology and some of the laziest people you can imagine.

Personally, I think that teachers unions have burned bridges with local business, tax payers, voters, and many local politicians, which is just fine by me.

I remember in this state when they demanded that teachers be put near the front of the line to get vaccines, just after health care workers and first responders and then immediately demanded that all learning be distance learning.

Then they have been having at least in this state wildcat school closures because of a lack of substitute teachers, and paid teachers taking time off due to the stress of actual class room teaching. This makes it hard on parents and the businesses the work for to stay open and not create staffing problems.

We are also starting to get some of the feedback on how badly children learned last year and how many wasted an entire academic year. The dilemma is do they try to provide extra tutoring, hold them back a year if they don't do well in standardized tests, or try to fake things and avoid standardized test and just all the kids to not learn what they need.

“America’s Public Education System Is Collapsing”

No, sorry, the ‘Public Education System’ will NEVER collapse, because conservatives are TOO STUPID (or too greedy) to keep their kids out.

It’s not going anywhere.

<>“It is far better for our students and families to be able to plan on an inconvenience like that, than it would be for the whole system to stop functioning,”<>

No, it would be better to end this enormously expensive, counter-productive destruction of our youth.

Teaching is a terrible job these days and most want out.
