“Notice how many teaching aids/books/lessons are appearing on the store shelves. Are parents teaching the real subjects at home on evenings and weekends? What about all the wasted classroom time? Row after row of educational material that shouldn’t be necessary. Or maybe these study materials are not typically purchased in order to produce results... they could just be part of the “process” of meaning well.”

I can't speak for other parents. We private school and closet home school when I see a gap. I pay CLOSE attention to what is being taught. There are some things I can't do such as “jazz band”, “art” or experience the satisfaction of forensics or debate. That is best handled in a school environment.

The rest I supplement on a situation by situation basis and keep them in Johns Hopkins courses. We do what we can to make sure they KNOW something. I am very in tune to what they are doing in education. If I canhelp anyone or give them ideas on this stuff, do e-mail me and I will share what ever I can that might be helpful to you. We need alot of kids, that KNOW something.

Considering the vast amounts of these books on store shelves, it’s as if all of America home schools. I naturally wonder what on earth is taking place in classrooms. Not much it seems. Perhaps every day is Earth Day, and so the time is spent in gaia worship.

That's what we did when our oldest was in public school. Now that she is in private school, she is actually being educated at school. But we won't be able to afford it for all four kids, so we will soon be joining the ranks of homeschoolers. As a former government school teacher myself, I am committed that none of us will darken the doors of those educational wastelands called public schools again.
