Good. Let them leave. Give up the public schools to their sin. The only problem is that we have to deal with the products of public schools afterwards if we do this.
My three kids have never set foot in a Government school, and they never will.
It's a wake-up call that public schools should heed if they want to stay in business.
At least children would be getting a better education being homeschooled than the one (or lack thereof) they are getting in government schools.
I don't know why not.
At this rate, poor and middle class Atheists/
Muslims/Buddhists/et al. will receive training
in Public Schools (supported by our taxes)while
all Christian Kiddoes will be posited in costly
parochial schools.
Seems to me the only ones benefitting will be
the wealthy parents who already send their kids
to posh private schools!
The cheaper and more logical stance would be
to make that segment of Science classes dealing
with Creationism a mandatory option for the
fundamental Christian family. As a retired
teacher on both the elementary and secondary
level, I don't recall The Big Bang Theory
ever taking up more than a week of the curriculum.
By the time a child enters College, he should have
sufficient mental acuity to decide for himself
which Beginning he accedes to.
It's time to acknowledge that hundreds of families cannot be shoved into a building and expected to agree on how to educate their children. The ONLY ones who can't figure this out are the teachers unions and those paid by them.
I think Daniel went to a fairly secular school and he did ok.
INTREP - Education - Survive
Amen brother.
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.
