I graduated from public school and a state university. I also taught biology and chemistry in a public high school for three years before I left teaching for another career. That was thirty years ago. Today, I would never send my children or grandchildren to a public school. I do not wish to demean all public school teachers or administrators, but the public schools throughout this nation are not fit for man nor beast. It is more miseducation than education. If it is at all possible, I would encourage parents to send their children to a private, or parochial, or home schools.

I think I’m in love....

The only redeeming value here in Texas to the public schools is FOOTBALL. We have tough mean aggressive football coaches that take your big baby sons and make them suicide killers. WE LOVE THAT!!

Thank you so much. Your response is reasonable and intelligently considered. The problem is that this silly thing is on the Roadrunner home page. That means so many people are seeing it and don’t know any better. I am very upset about this.

I’m with you. We homeschooled our youngest son to graduation. My daughter really wanted to go to high school, so at 16 she got her wish. She’s doing well, and fortunately the years of homeschooling have made her resistant to indoctrination, by liberals and conservatives alike.

We’ve been following the text book debates together, and she’s quick to point out that everyone involved in this text book committee has an agenda, and that no one seems to be particularly interested in the truth.
