My future kids won’t ever see a public school. My girlfriend is already in agreement with me and she is a public school teacher.
I made the same choice years ago, my children attend private school and the sacrifices that requires are more than worth it, on every level.
I firmly believe public schooling is the lowest common denominator, it is an education provided when no other option is available.
Why so many hand their children off to the state for a huge chunk of their lives and then act shocked that their kids wind up being indoctrinated into beliefs and other things they don’t personally agree with is beyond me.
Public education in the United States long ago ended being about actually educating children and teaching them to think critically and reasonably.
I had the unique position of attending both private and public schools growing up, and I can tell you that the last 3 years of high school when I transferred to the public school system were a complete academic waste.. I was reading books in 12th grade I had read in middle school, teaching my own teachers how to properly do math, and don’t even get me started on the computer teachers....
Why would you send your child to spend 1 hour of their time, let alone 6-7 hours a day in a building and with people who do not believe and will not reinforce the fundamental basic moral beliefs you hold dear? Let alone let them be responsible for their “education”.
