Interesting that you decry your perception of public schools’ liberal agenda yet praise the same in private school under the guise of freedom.

Are you on the right site?

My children, however, are being indoctrinated with the 10 Commandments, and pray at the start and end of every school day, every club meeting, every band or sports practice. Nothing liberal about it.

That said, do you think I'd have a problem with parents sending their kids to a liberal school on their own dime? I'm not in favor of thought control. If you are, I'd blame your public school experience.

Also proves what most of us knew about education majors in general, bottom of the academic pool, lowest SAT/ACT scores of any major.

I am aware of that. Fortunately, I wasn't an education major.

But more to the point, are you really advocating a government-run secondary education system over a free-market solution?

Again, are you on the right site?

You are a walking straw man argument and validation of those who do not respect educators.

It is one thing to ask honest questions (which you aren’t) it is another to insert your assumptions into my mouth (which you are), while confusing apples and oranges.

Free market solutions are the answer.

Do you have a model for education without government which means without taxes that doesn’t rely on each family trying to educate their kids themselves? I’m sure you know people that have no business homeschooling.
