...public education... Not working very well, is it? Needs private competition.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Government K-12 school needs to be **abolished**!

Simply by attending a government K-12 school a child learns that the government has the power to take money from his neighbor to pay for a service his parents want tuition-free.

In other words, regardless of what is taught in the government school, the child become comfortable with having the government take his neighbor's money that he then uses.

Well?...If the government can take money from a neighbor for schooling why not a thousand other wants and needs?

It was INEVITABLE that our grandparents, parents, and great grandparents voted in Franklin D. Roosevelt! After just one to three generations of making children comfortable with socialism we had the following:

** The IRS
** Direct election of senators
** Unions
** Feminism
** The federal reserve
** The complete distortion of the constitutional phrase “general welfare”
** the failed League of Nations followed by the U.N.
** Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal
** Johnson's Great Society
** The abolishment of the gold standard
** The Department of Education

While introducing private competition is certainly a worthy first step, the goal must be the complete shut down of all the government K-12 schools.

I sort of agree with your sentiment but I don't think it is realistic.
40% of people still like public schools.

If the next (R) administration gets rid of public schools, the next (D) will just put it back, probably with even more crazy mandates like they did with the Health Control bill.
I don't want to see another debacle like HC, neither by R or D.

I think recognizing peoples right to choose their kids school coupled with healthy competition will make for a much smoother transition and improve public schools to boot.
Oh, and get rid of federal control and let the states take care of it.
