“lousy,” “meager,” and “bad,”....
describes the teaching at my public school. How about hauling parents in who let their kids go THERE?
I am not being serious, and I do not condemn any FReeper who sends his child to public school. That is YOUR business, they are your kids, do what you think is best.
My point is, suppose 1/3 of home school kids never graduated high school, suppose home schooled kids had the highest suicide rate vis a vis private and public school kids, had the lowest college acceptance rate, had the lowest standardized test scores, had high drug abuse rates, had chronic problems with teachers having sex with students, had high vandalism rates, had the highest teen pregnancy rate, had the highest illiteracy rates, had the highest gang membership rates, had the highest percentage of kids incarcerated? Home schooling would be made illegal!
Yet all the above statements apply to our California public schools!
And parents are supposed to quit home schooling and put there kids into that cesspool!
“Day of Silence,” anyone?
