Local control is a problem for me. Even if districts were as small as a suburban subdivision block, two neighbors could gang up on another.
Freedom of conscience and government schools can not coexist!
Any government school powerful enough to force my ideas on my neighbor’s children is powerful enough to force my neighbor’s ideas on my children.
By the way,,,this really is an excellent article. I did what you suggested. I bookmarked it in my favorite education articles folder.
Where your idea breaks down for me, is the realization that there truly are people out there who are unable to home school. I would like to have some form of education for their kids that could still provide a wholesome learning environment.
One idea that might work would be to form a cooperative where parents that didn’t work could take over a teaching position and use the home school materials to teach from.
I am convinced this type of cooperative could work. Volunteer parents would receive little or no pay. The unions would instantly be put out of business and the DoE would be done.
Teaching plans would eminate from a wholesome source instead of UNESCO as they opten do today agenda wise.
