The “public school” is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is communist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children like you can.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
I disagree. A good public school, and there are many, can teach French, German, Spanish, and perhaps even Russian and Chinese better than most of us can. A good public school can teach science better than most of us even know so many different fields of science, writing better than we can teach it, and math beyond what most adults remember or perhaps ever learned. What it cannot do is teach values, and parents need to talk with their public (or private) school kids daily and correct or clarify any moral lessons that the schools messed up (whether intentionally or inadvertently). There is a lot of good in public schools, although I wish more conservatives would teach there and help them to resist liberal, anti-Christian, pro-socialism values lessons.
It hurts, but we've decided that we cannot sacrifice our daughter on the "free" altar of the hateful, anti-American public schools. They are the greatest threat that we face to thew future of America.
Any Christian who doesn't either homeschool or send their child to a reputable Christian school is breaking God's commandment to "train up a child in the way he should go" - Proverbs 22:6.
TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN. I pray to God that people will have ears to hear. Most are ‘in denial’ because it is so scary and so expensive to face. But it is worth it.
Search out a lifestyle that will get your children OUT of government school.
