The whole concept of modern public schooling is flawed, in my opinion. It is overly centralized, which may be good for the production of goods, but is not good for creating a beneficial environment for education.

Even many, if not most, private schools eventually find a certain level of a "Lord of the Flies"-type environment.

There's just something unnatural about it.

The series was unbelievably twisted and unfair. The tremendous response doesn't surprise me one bit.

They didn't say, but I'm guessing that the strong response surprised, and maybe even scared them a bit.

It SHOULD scare them if they're strong public school supporters.

One writer who identified herself as a home-schooling mother wrote six e-mails to the Beacon Journal... When a leader of the conservative Christian organization Home School Legal Defense Association was quoted on the second day of the series, she responded with a critical e-mail simply titled, ``aacckk!''

That wasn't you was it?

The story had quoted some who believe the child and the community also have a stake in each child's academic and social growth. The contributor responded: ``To paraphrase Dickens, the community is a ass. I want assurance that public-schooled children do not become burdens on society; alas, I am sadly frustrated on that account daily.''

Outstanding rejoinder!

``I get the definite impression that if (the) government wanted to implant a GPS tracking chip in every person in the country, these two clowns would be the first in line for the injection,'' one contributor wrote midway through the series.

Hahaha, what Freeper wrote this?

We have been discussing inexpensive ways to fast track kids through high school to avoid the liberal agenda:

The thread title was not well thought out, because some parents might instinctively skip over it due to attached stigma, whether real or imagined.
