Homeschoolers are doing fine...and we could start to turn all of this around if we stopped giving our children to the liberal-controlled government schools to be corrupted.
Sadly, for MOST families, the prospect of doing that is limited by the work-to-pay-taxes Mom's who have to supplement the family income, and can't afford to stay home anymore.
This was also fostered with the intentional Women's Liberation move to get mothers to think income-producing jobs was attractive to show "worth", as opposed to serving the role of a traditional stay-at-home-Mom....and here we are in this mess today.
