Even a blind pig will find the occasional acorn....
>>I agree with parts of it. <<
And that is why I homeschool.
Tell you what, the more I read of this thread, the more I like my school. It’s inner-city, and the kids are growing up in houses with no books at all, but the parents are nice to us (although they usually speak no English), the administrators are supportive and approachable (at the immediate level, anyway) and though the curriculum leans Left, no one is actually hovering over my shoulder making sure I implement it. My worst problem is just that I get kids who, at 12, can barely read.
