Public schools have become a free babysitting service. Infant care, pre-pre-school, pre-school, before school programs, after school programs, week end programs and summer programs. They have "free" doctors, dentists, counselors, meals, and comfort. Parents are no longer necessary.
Parents allowed this to happen, because raising children became too much work after "woman's liberation." Mom got removed from the home. The children then belonged to the state.
Ding Ding Ding! Bullseye!
