“Ok, so public schools aren’t perfect, but how am I supposed to afford my really nice house, F150, and boat if I have also pay to educate my kids?”
It’s worse than that with some of these parents. Public school is just a day care for them.
That’s how ignorant and selfish those parental units are.
Homeschooling has been an available alternate form of education alongside private and parochial schools. My daughter’s husband is making around 50K a year. She does not work. She stays home and homeschools the three boys. It is not a bankrupting deal. I submit that it doesn’t really matter about the people whose kids are still in public school. All those parents who actually love their children and aim to raise them to be educated and to grow up with a work ethic have already dispensed with the public schools, except, perhaps in illinois. Then again, why are parents who give a damn about their children still in Illinois??
