Vouchers to te parents. That’s all.

Government runs schools like it runs other things—not very well.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

New York State knowingly allows illiterates to be teachers in government schools.

"Public Schools: the Three Big Problems that We Must Fix"

More than "problems," crimes were committed in the deliberate destruction of the U.S. educational system, and justice demands that the criminal perpetrators be identified, hunted down, and brought to trial.

[John Leland 1789]

We home school, and have since 1982. Our children; help with our grandchildren; others as well.

We promote home schooling openly, and will organize seminars for parents getting started. Free. We believe in it that much.

We don't want a dime from government, not even in the form of vouchers. "Come shekels, come shackles."

You can flush the government-run public schools as far as we're concerned.

The ROT goes far beyond K-12!

Because these cultural Marxist controlled places churn out hundreds of thousands of NEW brain-washed “yutes” every year,
we’d better get a handle on THIS PROBLEM or everything else we do is akin to REARRANGING DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC!
What then when THEY vastly outnumber those of us who remember the Founders’ sacrifices and warnings?

Then you get to Sight-word reading, which all studies for the last hundred years indicate will be give you inferior results compared to phonics.

I have no reason to question your claim regarding the studies; I have empirical (that is, experiential) and anecdotal reason to question the validity of those studies.

No one learns foreign languages by studying the equivalent of phonics. They learn foreign languages by using said languages in the classroom environment.

It has been my observation that learning “sight-words” gave my daughter a two year, minimum, jump on accessing literature over what I had learning phonics.

No, my daughter does not read as proficiently as I did at the same age, but she enjoys the act of reading, and reads vastly more useful content than I did until several years older.

She May not be able to correctly spell various complex words, but she can recognize them. More importantly, she knows what they mean.

In the interests of full disclosure, I have to admit she attends a Barney Project charter school sponsored by Hillsdale College.

Our upper-class people, our celebrities, our movers and shakers of all kinds, our community and political leaders, our foundations, our great universities, and most shocking of all, our media—all seem not to care that our culture is dumb and getting dumber. Where is the protest? Where is the resistance? Where is the counterattack?

What, and create new competitors on a landscape they already dominate?
