As someone who gave up a lot, and was richly rewarded, I’ll say that parents GAVE AWAY control of education.
Most of us could have sacrificed to home or private school. All of us could have at least untaught some of the worst that public school teaches. None of us had to send our kids to bad universities to major in foolish things.
The good news is we can take it back and the lockdowns May be accelerating this movement.
“Most of us could have sacrificed to home or private school.”
WATCH IT, PAL. You don’t know us well enough to conclude that. For example, my family:
How could my kids show their faces to other children if I drove them around in a car that was more than 5 years old, pal?
How could they explain living in a small house, when all the other kids lived in larger ones, pal?
We’re in TEXAS, how could my kids explain not having at least an F-150 in the driveway, pal?
How could they relate to other kids, if they didn’t have smart phones and X-Boxes, pal?
In summary, they would have been SCARRED FOR LIFE, pal?
...of course it didn’t seem that way for my kids, and they had all of the above ‘deprivations’, I guess they’re the exception.
