13. Think about what a rain forest is like. Draw a picture of the rain forest.

This sounds like the 'mental mapping' classes being taught in schools that Rush was talking about yesterday.

OBE - Outcome Based Education

Get your kid home schooled or in a private school as quickly as possible.

While homeschooling is an option I have considered I must also take into account the idea of social interaction. I live in a small village where my kids classes are under 20 kids per class.

I have chosen to show my kids not to run from a bully. This applies to teachers and public schools as well.
I suppose I would call it a fair and balanced kind of thing. They say things to him and I say things to him. They show him things and I show him things. I do not want to do the very indoctrination to my kids that I oppose others doing to them.

I seek to teach them how to ferret out the crap and decide on the truth based on the facts. I do not think removing them from the school environment would be beneficial when the overall picture is considered.
