The movie “Pleasantville” comes to mind. But,,,your community is not going to determine whether or not government schools collapse or not.
It will be the independent observations of parents throughout the nation who will decide. As parents choose private school, homeschool, or government institutionalization for their child, many factors will help them decide. Fatness is merely one among many.
You flatter me far too much, if you think my scribblings here on FR could turn back this tsunami.Government schools are shooting themselves in the foot well enough with their sex education, Days of Silence, homosexuals, teacher sex molestation, abysmal academics, illiterate graduates,,etc. What possible influence could little ole’ me have?
Maybe, others will notice, maybe more influential writers will pick this up, and maybe the general public will begin to see what I see. Homeschoolers are fit and slim. Those riding the government school buses are more likely to have weight problems.
By the way, I support you decision not to use the prison bus ( oops! “school” bus). If your child is taken to school by you, or a trust friend, ( in a seat belt) she won’t have her clothes caught in the school bus door and be dragged to death by her bus driver. If she should drop something in front of the bus, her bus driver will not crush her death with the bus. She won’t be sent to the hospital with facial injuries and missing teeth if her bus driver stops suddenly. And,,,she won’t be raped in the back of the bus without the bus driver even seeing it.
But, yes, in spite of all the government school horrors listed above, some parents just might choose the natural environment of the home, because their child is more likely to have a healthy weight.

Why the change in wording? You have generally lumped private schools in with your ridiculous "institutionalized" claim of unnatural environments.

Believe me, you have none, in anyway about homeschooling either. Your "scribblings" could actually be detrimental to the homeschooling movement. Someone with less knowlege of true homeschoolers would run in the opposite direction you allegedly are supporting, and thus my contention that is your goal.

That claim of yours has already been debunked by myself and others. BTW, the majority of private schools in this region (not my community, as there are none, but a multi-county, multi-state region) all use the same "prison busses" as are used by public schools - the only difference is the name of the school painted on the side for identification. I personally know school bus drivers that refuse to drive for some of the private schools because of the discipline issues with those kids, mostly kids expelled from the evil public schools.

Pure conjecture and opinion on your part.
Your horror stories of school buses have nothing to do with the decision many of us have made about not using the school transportation system. Time was the primary issue. By the time the bus they would have been riding passes my house, my daughter and her friends that come here most afternoons are already outside playing after having already finished homework (with me supervising.) They are here not because of parents' working, but because I have the largest property for them to play, which includes not only standard backyard play equipment, but a creek, room for batting or soccer play/practice, a putting green, and a 10,000+ square foot vegetable garden where they have their own section and are responsible for tending it.
Now what was you were saying about"institutionalized" kids and the parents that send them to those schools?
I'll check back in after I finish putting in 1,000 row feet of beans and corn, just to see if you are finally willing to directly address any of the factual comments that have been addressed to you, or if you will just, in typical fashion, remain on your high-horse of superiority.
