The public schools in urban areas are largely social service agencies and do not cater to the responsible parent who can give her child a bowl of cereal in the morning and pack a sandwich for lunch.
Do parents who get free breakfasts and lunches for their kids from the schools get their food stamp allotments cut to compensate? Of course not.

Public education is welfare. Another piece of the mask has come off. Less education, more outright welfare.

“””Mr. Emanuel noted that a child in Houston gets four more years of K-12 instruction than one here”””
When your new leftist mayor is negative about school breakfasts, you know that the program is really bad.
At the end of the story it states the school year is only 170 days.

"Mandatory Breakfast"? Sort of makes you wonder what they are putting in the food, doesn't it? A drugged student is easier to brainwash and lead down the path of obama.

Liberals - people who want to use your money for their great ideas while they jet down to the Bahamas.

How do the kids survive over summer vacation?
Liberalism is a mental disease. I saw a story recently that Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. wants the government to provide iPods and laptops to the poor little chirren to stimulate the economy.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself) The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Just another method of training an entire generation to be dependent on the government teat.
These kids will grow up unable to care for themselves with the basic necessities such as fixing their own breakfast, which is not rocket science.
I was making real mashed potatoes one day and one of the little girls next door asked what I was doing. I told her and she said to me, in all seriousness, “Why don’t you make them the homemade way, in the microwave?”

Thinking it through, I realized there’s more interests
affected by the public school monolith than just the
parents, administration and staff; the vendors being one.
My conclusion: it’s too bad for the latter, we need to
make big changes.
