"In your dreams."

Ahhh yes. Been an NEA apologist for long?

"Public schools were started for a reason, and part of the reason is that home schools and private schools weren't working for nearly enough people."

Perhaps. But it's a "solution" that has long outlived their usefulness for most of the population.

I don't deny that there is a need for a government schooling system to provide some sort of education for those who wouldn't otherwise be able to obtain it. In much the same way I acknowledge the need for a welfare system. That doesn't mean that the bulk of the population should use either system.

Do you have to call for "backup" every time you post?

For those who wish to do so, homeschooling is a wonderful thing. However, most of the population doesn't want to homeschool.
