It is much more than 7 hours a day, 180 days a year. Let me list the ways children are immerses in the government culture:
*Time riding the bus and waiting for the bus.
*Homework, textbooks, and all reading assignments.
*Friends made at school. Time on the Internet, text messaging, and cell phone with school indoctrinated friends.
*All government sponsored after school activities, theater, sports, and music events, and school dances.
The desire for fashions that effect the child every day of the year.
Eating habits picked up in school that effect the children for his entire life! ( Have you ever met a fat homeschooler who has been homeschooled from the beginning. I haven't.
Hopefully more and more parents will realize the dangers of the public inculcation camps and get them out. Even if they have to work 3 jobs to afford private school or quit 1 to homeschool, get them out. They are dangerous.
