Speaking from my personal experience as a single parent child (parents divorced, my father was an abusive alcoholic and my mother sisters and I were subjected to domestic violence) my mother juggled the bills to keep food on the table, sometimes it was impossible. The state said she didn't qualify for assistance because she worked and wouldn't file for child support from my father, he never tried to file for custody and she was afraid for him to find out where we were.
Some days, If it wasn't for free lunch at school there would be no meals. That wasn't a regular thing but sometimes it would be that way for a week or so.
Anyway, why should we surrender this nations educational system to the radicals? What they're foisting onto society has no business in the schools primarily.

That's a good question. What I think will help you better understand government schools is to read John Taylor Gatto's The Underground History of American Education. It's a real eye opener.
You can read it online if you want, just click the "Read the Book" link. I'd give you a direct link but I wanted to make sure you read the above linked page first.
Basically, what Gatto says is government schools provide a slaves education. If you want more than that you need to send your kids to a private school or homeschool. Our kids are getting an education you can't get anywhere. It's a custom tailored classical education for each kid.
Gatto doesn't think the current school system can be salvaged, and he knows. Check out Gatto - who he is and from where he's coming. About the only comparison I can give you is Gatto is like Spitzer is to homosexual issues.
