At least these kids are getting the socialization they need to excel in today’s modern workforce. I mean, just the other day in the five minutes between meetings, one of my co-workers knocked the laptop out of the hands of another co-worker and called him “homo”. We all made it back to our next meeting before the bell rang. Our supervisor didn’t see it, so everything is cool.
I mean, these things just happen in the workplace. Just like in government schools.
(Maybe you have to have it pointed out to you that the above is absurdity. I think stories like this are another reason why government schools should be abolished. Most FReepers won’t agree because they know their kid is going to a “better than average” or “great” school and getting taught by “excellent” teachers.)
You know, MC, I fully agree with you. The behemoth Dept. of Ed. was one of the worst things to ever happen to this country. Small neighborhood schools are best if we HAVE to have public education. And before THAT, the one-room schools produced some of the finest citizens this country has ever had. Home schooling is superior to all, of course. I get so tired of seeing young skulls full of mush warehoused together. All they end up doing is pooling their ignorance. And that’s just the teachers! Never mind the students! :-)
