[Triple Word Score]

Great rant!

I have my kids in a private school now and will homeschool them for their high school years. I actually want to see them educated, not merely supervised and indoctrinated. Every time I walk into a public school I see bedlam all around. I guess I'm a prude. I don't like to see prepubescent girls wearing cuss words across their rear ends or boys with multiple earrings. I don't see the point in my children wasting their precious learning hours with their heads down on their desk because some other students won't shut up.

School too often interferes with education.

Yeah, and you ought to see their parents.

There have actually been studies showing that when students dress better, they behave better and learn more - but in many areas, parents don't want their children wearing uniforms, or even following a strict dress code.
