Ok, then where should we send them to? I’m sure there are dozens of people who would love to stay home and teach their kids, or send them to private schools. The problem is that private school education is too high for many people. Also, there are many people that have to work to support their kids. They haven’t got a choice. Then there are some who feel they don’t know enough about some subjects to teach them.
So, what do they all do? If they stayed home, some people would be crabbing that their tax money is supporting them, and they need to get out and work. Do you have any suggestions for those people?
There are homeschool cooperatives. And there are also some scholarships for private school education.
Take your schools and your country back!
Talk to parents, get involved in PTA’s, start small groups of parents, pool resources, take turns every month speaking up, start a community movement of sane parents to stop the nonsense! FIGHT!
Is there some reason sane people should be forced to pay for private schools while the Godless PC moonbat lunatics get to continue to hijack public schools and spew forth their psychotic agenda unchallenged? NOOOOOOO!!!!!
Makes ZERO sense!

You are NOT alone!
Most do, they just think they don't, and they don't think long or very far.
To give just one example, a woman I know has five children and she works, as does her husband. They have three cars. If they disposed of one car, they'd save nearly $400 a month on the payment, never mind the gas and insurance. That would put two of their children in a good Catholic high school, or three in grade school. But they don't want to give up that car. Nor do they want to give up the gadgets they enjoy and the vacations they take regularly, and the clubs they frequent, and the movies, and the gasoline and the credit card rates that keep them rolling along. All this takes a second income: hers.
Now imagine she had only two children. She'd still have a job, because she wants the extra cash; she'd still have the extra car, and it would take them places. They'd have more stuff and go to more movies and restaurants and clubs. Maybe buy that boat they always talk about. She'd still moan that there isn't enough money in the budget to put either child in private school. And that doesn't even take into account the scholarships available. (The Catholic high school here is around $200 a month but many families pay only half that, and some attend on full scholarship.)
As wintertime pointed out, parents get addicted to free babysitting. They are also very reluctant to think about giving up vacations, toys, extra cars, status symbols, gasoline, movies, restaurants, and the like; all far more expendable than their children's minds and destinies.
Conservatives bemoan the nanny state, but they give it the biggest endorsement of all.
Your mileage may vary. I'm certain it does! But if parents will start thinking that it really matters where the kids go to school, if they take the blinders off and actually set to work on the challenge of educating them, they will find a way.
