>>Another point in favor of public education. <<
Dude, I went to Public School.
Those in a “religious cult” and those in a “political cult” act exactly the same. No matter what the basis is of their obsession, both groups use the same bullying and control.
Take it out of Language Arts and look at it in Sociology.
You need to learn to think in “Whole concepts” instead of “specialized thought”. (yeah my sister is a teacher, I know all the jargon)
Likewise here.
I was also a public school graduate, for all the good it did me.
I learned more on my own than all the years I put in in the system.
And not only was my public school experience the greatest impetus in my decision to homeschool my own children, I learned more homeschooling them than all those teachers were able to interest me in leqrning from them.
I can count on one hand the number of good teachers I had, that is, techers who actually taught me something and motivated me to learn.
