This may be news to some educators, but they aren't their students' parents.
If parents fail to provide for their children, they can face legal consequences. The court systems have recognized parents' rights to raise their children, but that right comes with responsibilities. Parents must feed, clothe, get medical attention, etc. for their children.
Yet, more and more, it seems that the government wants to take over parenting while still holding parents accountable for how their children turn out.
Over the years, school systems have extended how long they have children for more hours during the day and more grade levels. The rationale is that the additional time is needed to better educate students, but American student performance on the world stage continues to fall.
It used to be that students brought their lunches to school or went home for lunch. Then schools began offering lunches. And now some school systems offer breakfast and dinner as well. The assumption behind this is that if the schools won't feed the children, they won't get fed.
In recent years, the argument has moved to a parent's right to know what is going on in the classroom. A recent example of this is the Parental Rights in Education Bill that is now law in Florida. Despite the mischaracterization of the bill in the media, what it does is prohibit the discussion of sexual topics in kindergarten through the third grade and require that parents be notified when certain topics come up. It is a bill that recognizes the rights of parents to raise their minor children, and it has the support of a majority of voters.

I think the leftist indoctrination of school children has a lot to do with the emergence of the mass school shooters. That and the rise of the use of drugs, mainly in active boys, to alter behavior.
And if you want to know where the money in school doors that don’t close, went, you can look at the multiple cars in “teacher’s” driveways.
The kids aren’t learning and they’re not safe. The masking and anti-white racism should have been the giveaway.

Social media has a lot to do with it as well. I was a kid in the early to mid 1960's. The only information, points of view, etc we were exposed to came from parents, school and schoolmates, books, TV and movies. In the town I lived in, we only had 2 channels. One of the channels was shared by 2 networks.
Today, some loser like the Uvalde shooter can logon to any number of social media sites where other losers discuss topics like shooting up a school. TV has a gazillion channels showing nothing but crap. Minds are being filled with that crap.
Only perverts want to talk to children about sex.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
